Project Hope Launch!

Project Hope



Project Hope has been something that has been running around inside me for the past 6 months, and the more people I talk to about it the more excited I've become.

I have a huge heart for women that are waiting for their men to come home, and women that want to see their dreams come true but lack the finances.  Here is where Project Hope comes in.  So far, for 2010, I've had 3 brides postpone their weddings due to either finances or their fiance being deployed... and I want to help.

On February 14th, I (along with a panel) will be choosing a couple for a (basically) free or low cost wedding.  You'll at least be getting the photography (me) for free!  If you're fiance is deployed you don't have to have a date set yet, if you are a bride that comes from a low income family you need to have at least a time of year in mind. 

Here are the stipulations:

1.  You must be engaged by Dec 25th
2.  You must come from a low income family, have a low income household, your fiance must be currently deployed or your fiance must be deployed before Jan 1.
3.  Your family and fiance's family must be reachable for interviews

4.  Clients that have already signed contracts are not eligible
5.  Application deadline is Dec 25th.

Just to forewarn you... this is going to be a lengthy process with rounds of eliminations, as well as interviews. 


The Top 10 will be chosen by Jan 1, Top 5 by Feb 1 and the final winner will be chosen on Valentines Day!


Please pass this post along to anyone who fits the criteria.


You can pick up an application by emailing: projecthope@rachelfeskophotography.com.  I will hopefully have a link up soon, that you can download and send in.

If you are a vendor and would like to help, please send an email expressing your interest and capability to: rachel@rachelfeskophotography.com
