“YOU are not here to save the world but here to touch the hearts and hands that are within your reach.” ~ Kathleen Price

I would like to personally thank you for your unconditional support, via your donations, in kind donations, volunteering and praying for our Mission of Love. I can tell you that I have not stopped networking, collecting, distributing and sending our humanitarian aid to those in need, even with the COVID 19 in our world. The orphans, the sick, the dying, the homeless, the disabled, the starving, and the hopeless were tended to once again in the year of 2020, unconditionally via our Mission of Love.

Mission of Love volunteers serviced the Indigenous of: Pine Ridge Native American Indian Reservation S. D. ~ Maya of Guatemala~ Maya of Yucatán México ~ Indigenous of Honduras ~ Doctors of Venezuela ~ Local Indigenous of our hometown, Youngstown, Ohio ~ Area nursing homes, hospitals, prisons, court systems, and rehab centers.

Two C5 cargo planes via the Department of Defense Denton Mission of Love landed in Guatemala and one C17 plane landed in Honduras. These planes were loaded with tons of corn and humanitarian aid. Three 53’ Mission of Love trailers were sent 1200 miles with tons humanitarian aid for the poorest community of our United States, Pine Ridge Native American Indian Reservation, S.D.

18 sets of bunk beds and 20 four seat wooden desks were hand made at our Mission of Love warehouse. Know that we do not have electricity, heat, water or bathrooms in our building where our work of love continues every day in very way. Try to imagine the work that is involved in making these Missions of Love possible for the poorest of the poor indigenous communities? I have worked in a spare bedroom of our home as my Mission of Love office, I drive a van that was donated and has 189,000 miles on it, and I pick up our donations with a box truck that was donated. 

A Maya Traditional School was built in order to teach the Maya children a lost art, of weaving their traditional patterns on material. 

Fabric was sent throughout the United States to make masks as well as masks were sent throughout America to stay safe from COVID-19. Food and disinfectant items were purchased for our friends on the Pine Ridge Native American Indian Reservation, S.D. early on in the pandemic when the elders had no way of obtaining these much needed supplies. The purchased supplies were then distributed by Angie Clifford and Percy White Plume, Horse Spirit Society. Appliances were purchased and sent out to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and distributed to those who had none. Some of Mission of Love humanitarian aid had to be delivered by horse because of lack of roads that were damaged during last year’s tornado.

Maria and Juan also distributed the much needed supplies to the Maya Families of the Yucatán, México.  Astrid from Guatemala distributed thousands of pounds of food and essential items into the Maya villages of Tecpán, Guatemala continuously.

Early on with the virus COVID -19 my husband Bob and I would distribute discretely to hospitals and nursing homes priceless n95 masks, gowns, gloves, safety glasses etc. when the medical facilities had none whatsoever. The staff would cry when receiving our Mission of Love PPE’S. We gave humanitarian aid and PPE’S to the families of a Maya Community right here in our area. 

Know that every day in every way our Mission of Love is making the impossible possible for the Indigenous of our world. No, we cannot help everyone but we can touch the hands and hearts that are within our reach. None of this could have been possible without our lifesaving Mission of Love in country volunteers. Astrid, Guatemala ~ Norma, Honduras~ Maria Raquel, México ~ Angie Clifford and Percy White Plume, Pine Ridge ~ Ray and Renee ~ Pa, Ken and Jim Denton Program plus the other countless others who continue to serve unconditionally and lovingly via our God’s Mission of Love.

This Christmas week, food bags will be distributed to the Indigenous Maya of the Yucatán, Guatemala, Rain Forest of Honduras, Pine Ridge Native American Indian Reservation S.D. and Tecpán, Guatemala.

I can go on and on in this article about all that we have done together in 2020. I can assure you that no other NGO in America has done what our Mission of Love has done while having no grants or major funding.

Please know that our Mission of Love needs help in order to continue to service God’s indigenous poorest of the poor. I can and will continue if I have your support. Everything takes money in order to make these priceless Missions of Love a reality. For every dollar donated to our Mission of Love, I can generate $122 worth of goods to those in need. I am a volunteer who has made our Mission of Love available to all. Divine Intervention is our driving force to keep our Mission of Love alive.

Our mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

They say that pictures are worth thousands of words. In our Good News Mission of Love yearly newsletter I will share some priceless photos of our work of love that took place throughout the year.

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year,

Kathleen Price
Mission of Love Founder/ Director since 1989
