Colleagues: I have some THRILLING news to share! Operations at the John Gullo Home for Children will begin very soon! This was a crowd funded initiative, led by our all volunteer Board to build a temporary home for vulnerable children whose families are experiencing a medical crisis. We've also set the date for our soft opening - November 23rd, 2024 - and we can’t wait to share more with you.

Well well well….as it turns out, not one but two dear friends of Leaders2Give are celebrating a birthday today Earlier I was delighted to wish Alex Araiza a happy birthday. Alex is the man whose team built the John Gullo Home for Children I’m also so excited to wish a happy birthday to our favourite artist, generous donor and friend Pedro Arnoldo Cruz Sunu and can’t wait to see his beautiful art hanging on the walls of the children’s home. Speaking of which we are hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Soft Opening: John Gullo Home for Children on November 23rd Operations can’t start until we have raised all of the funds necessary to operate for a year however with construction completed we wanted to offer the community an opportunity to tour the facility, meet members of the Board, get your questions answered and help us celebrate this remarkable community project Hope to see you there !

With news that makes me feel bad blanketing my daily feed I feel like I can breath again when I read news that makes me feel good 😊 Seeing the children at New Creation Kids - Nueva Creaçion Niñas in their new school uniforms… Visiting the family we contributed to relocating and successfully assimilating from Syria into Canada at their home last week… Watching a video of the road being cut in order to connect the new children’s home in El Cardonal to the municipal water supply And this morning, seeing the load of groceries delivered this week by our dear friend and L2G accountant Charleen Fariselli is a whole lotta feel good news We love #feelgoodnews.

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.
