for 2010 Hope Calendar
The Hope Calendar is published by photographer Debi Gomez (Life’s Images) as a charitable fundraiser. Over $9000 has been donated to charities in the first 2 years. The calendar features Houston area children in an inspirational photo calendar reminding all of us to hope...
for a cure...
for a better life...
for the simple pleasures of a child's smile.
The 2010 calendar is themed "Hearts of Hope" and the calendar sales benefit It's My Heart, a non-profit organization providing support, awareness, education and advocacy for those affected by Acquired and Congenital Heart Defects.
Donate $5000 to Women's Center!
I am proud to announce…
Life’s Images and the Hope Calendar donated $5000 to the Montgomery County Women’s Center at the close of the second annual calendar charity project.
The kindness and generosity of all involved is truly inspiring to me! I am thankful to everyone involved that took a leap of faith WITH me to see the calendar come to life!
From the beginning, the project was intended to involve the community by featuring OUR children and involving local small businesses and by sharing the idea with all of our friends. And while being fun and beautiful, I hope the calendar also inspired HOPE and giving from the heart to local charities benefiting families.
This has been a great experience, and the success of this year has me really excited for future years as it can only get better from here! Hope Calendar website (www.hopecalendar.com) will have more details about the calendar and how local families or businesses can participate in the 2010 calendar project.

On a personal note - this success brings great joy (and a little bit of sadness) - because I know that this year we donated money to an organization that will help families regain a sense of dignity, a sense of security, in some cases save a life. It also reminds me that happy endings aren’t always the case… in honor of Angela… may we all find peace and love and help others to do the same :)
The Hope Calendar is an annual project dedicated to Houston area charities! For the 2009 calendar I will be working with Montgomery County Women's Center - a shining example of HOPE
The beautifully simple calendar features photographs of area children who are the best inspirations of "hope" we could think of! Created by photographer Debi Gomez (Life's Images Photography), this is the 2nd annual calendar publication this year benefiting Montgomery County Women's Center !
