818 Ministries

make. write. impact. www.818Ministries.com On September 18th, 2014, our Founder's life was forever changed. For several weeks this did not settle well with her.

This was the day her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Throughout the beginning stages of surgery and chemotherapy, Rebecca Dotson realized a couple things. Many people walk through serious illnesses, such as cancer, with zero help and support. A couple of things that encouraged her mom, Robin Dotson, throughout her journey was handmade hats, handwritten cards of encouragement and the verse

Romans 8:18. 818 Ministries is a women's ministry that provides these items to patients with serious illnesses who may or may not know Jesus. And we teach our community to do so as well. In addition to community outreach, 818 has a bi-weekly blog that is published by an established blog team with writers stretching from Knoxville, TN to the Cayman Islands. To learn how to get involved, go to www.818Ministries.com.

Each year 818 Ministries decks out all of the sweet, tiny warriors at UT Medical Center with cocoon + hat costumes like the one you see pictured. Pinterest is STOCKED 👏🏽 FULL 👏🏽 of ideas for creative patterns for these guys and they are such a fun treat to encourage the families on, what is often, a not-so-fun day. We’ll be collecting them through the end of September to be donated in October!
