The Compassion Project notecards

In the Christian tradition, The Compassion Project is dedicated to helping others.

They are compensated for their creative efforts and receive a portion of the profits to help sustain their recovering lifestyle. Please click the thumbnail images below to view the set of cards.

The beautiful photos on these notecards are the creation of Stephanie G., an 18 year old recovering from drug addiction. The sale of these cards help support Stephanie and others like her as they work at sustaining productive, healthy, drug-free lives. The notecards were designed by Denise P., a wife and mother, recovering from the effects of alcoholism in her family. For more information about this organization visit: thecompassionproject.org.
