Dumpy Deployment
Dona’s Dumpy
Deploying Dona’s Love through Dumpies
Dona’s Dumpy
The mission behind deploying Dona’s Dumpies is to spread Dona’s eternal love.
Dona, my Dear Mom, created Dumpies for her children to remind us that we were loved and not alone. I took my Dumpy with me every time I spent the night away from the family home.
Dumpy was created as a representation of the character, Humpty Dumpty, portrayed in an English nursery rhyme, and has had a presence in literature dating as far back as 1871.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
The peculiar rhyme and egg shaped character danced with me and my siblings throughout life. A new Dumpy would appear on different occasions and holidays, each unique with it’s own eyes, smile, and textile, yet they all had my Mom’s strength, courage, and love woven throughout every stitch that made up their uniqueness. Similar to us as her children. The last Dumpy my Mom made for me is the one that travelled with me during the darkest time in my life. It is her strength, courage, and love that I continue to draw upon through every passing day. In my nursery rhyme of life, all of the Kings horses and all of the Kings men did indeed put Dumpy back together again.
“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
Dumpy’s Halo
To become part of the butterfly effect that is Dona’s love, you may donate to Dumpy’s Halo which has the sole focus of making and distributing Dumpies to children in hospitals across the world. As an initiative of Project Earth Angel, each Dumpy is hand made with strength, courage, and love, and delivered to hospitalized children to remind children that they are loved and not alone. We are conduits of healing love energy and that energy is transferred through every Dumpy.
Love with the intention to heal.
Miracles happen every day.
“Love abounds in all things, excels from the depths to beyond the stars, is lovingly disposed to all things. She has given the king on high the kiss of peace.”
Hildegard von Bingen
We are love.
Love heals so let us live the essence of love.
