As I watch my own daughter get ready to go back to school this week, I’m reminded how many kids simply aren’t fortunate enough. Whether it’s having an opportunity to shop for back to school clothes or to even just to get to go to school at all…. Im filled with gratitude to the many kind and generous people who have donated to ensure that the children of New Creation Kids - Nueva Creaçion Niñas do get to attend school and proudly arrive with their uniforms, backpacks and school books. A heartfelt thanks to our generous and compassionate donor community. You inspire me every day ! Thank you on behalf of our entire all volunteer Board of Directors for your generosity ❤️

With the 24 hour news cycle hammering bad news again and again and again if you are anything like me you are probably seeking inspiration Well today I feel incredibly inspired 7 pick up trucks 5 trailers 15 volunteers Under the leadership of the legendary Brian Andrews all rolling up to their sleeves to move the furniture for the John Gullo Home for Children out of storage and into this world class facility that will provide a temporary home for kids whose parents are experiencing a medical crisis. It takes a village and what an incredible village this is! Special thanks also to the good people at YachtAid Global for their consistent generosity and support I love you all.

The appliances are in! Furniture will be delivered and assembled next week. YOU did this. Americans & Canadians & Mexicans Jews & Christian’s & Muslims & Atheists Gay & Straight Black & White Republicans & Democrats & Independents YOU …. Painted, Cleaned, Donated, Liked, Shared, Asked Questions, Shared concerns … YOU did this! I’m so proud to have played my part and I’m so proud of the part you played too. It’s remarkable what we can accomplish together! Truly! Thank you 🙏 What started as a request from the community has manifested and just look at the John Gullo Home for Children right now. A temporary home for children whose families are experiencing a medical crisis - Poverty has increased by over 200% in Mexico - The leading causes of death are childhood leukaemia and breast cancer This world class facility will protect vulnerable children in their time of need …and it’s because of you. Thank you 🙏 from all of us here at Leaders2Give Thank you ❤️ Brian Fieser Hector Boirie Liz Scroggins John McNulty Dan Clemens Tracey Greenberg

Asking for money can be difficult and uncomfortable but that’s one of my responsibilities here at Leaders2Give. We’ve hosted private and public fundraiser parties at houses and restaurants, silent auctions, live auctions, events with live music, wine parties and more. We even recently surveyed our incredibly generous donor community and overwhelmingly we were told to “just ask” when it came to fundraising and so … humbly…im asking. Construction at the John Gullo Home for Children is coming to an end. We are now turning our focus to the funds needed for operations. To run the facility for a year we estimate it will cost around $105,000 USD $60k - staff $45k - cost of living (food, utilities, school etc) So …. I’m asking … for your help. Two generous donors have so far pledged a combined $35k. We need to get to a minimum of $105k to reach out goal - and I’m asking for your help. Please visit leaders2give.org (see comments below) or send me a DM and learn how easy it is to give and the various tax incentives too. Thank you as always for making the work that our all volunteer team does every day possible.

Can you feel the love, energy and commitment emanating ? John Gullo Home for Children capital construction should be wrapped up by month end Next step once we have someone on site is to: - Install appliances - Deliver and assemble furniture (going to need community support for this) - Commence permit process via DIF - Raise funds for operations - Hire staff - Open doors to vulnerable children Thanks to all of YOU who have so generously supported this community project and to our incredible all volunteer Board of Directors for their time and effort.

Before we can get things operational at the John Gullo Home for Children we need someone living on site for a variety of reasons So, if you are interested in house sitting in a beautiful brand new apartment in El Cardinal, Baja California Sur Mexico, with gorgeous views of the sea and mountains over the next 4-6 months please reach out to us via info@Leaders2Give.org and we will send you an application. Thank you 🙏

Incredibly inspiring photos coming in from the John Gullo home for children today thanks to Hector Boirie & Phyllis Newton We are soooooo close to completing construction Another another couple of weeks to finish. Cement collars around buildings and ramps are the biggest jobs in motion. Notice the security cameras and internet antenas in place thanks to the generosity of Cody Garett Mills ! Once construction is complete we will install the appliances, assemble the furniture, complete the permit application process and hire the staff who will the operations from day to day and we are on track to open our doors to vulnerable children this fall. Ofcourse our next big hurdle is raising the funds to sustain operations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who have given so generously so far and to our all volunteer Board of Directors without whose support this simply wouldn’t be possible. You inspire me!
