First off, please send prayers to all CCC host families in Ukraine adopting right now. I am getting daily emails from our families and I can tell you, I cry at each one. This is my favorite part of hosting, the adoption of all these older children who would have never had a chance. Ages 8, 11, 13, (2)16 year olds and (2) 17 year olds, children with HIV, and sibling sets of 4. Tell me God is not at work here! My heart fills with joy and love and I thank God every day for letting me be a part of this. It is amazing feeling to help change lives and build families. The emails I get help give me strength to continue this amazing work and remind me why I do this. People ask me why I go to Ukraine.... I go to meet these children and bring donations to help the orphanages. Meeting the children helps me connect them with families. The children who come are so wonderful and it is very hard sometimes but I don't give up finding them host families. Hosting alone is amazing experience, but when adoption come from them, it's an amazing blessing.
It's not too late to host this winter. We have over 20 children hosted so far and the last few days have been crazy for me and my coordinators. We still have many amazing children on our photo listing and the hardest part of my job is leaving them behind. We all know winter is harder to host because of Christmas, so I am very thankful for those families who are able to help the children have an amazing holiday. If you would like to send a grant, please email me at GuglielmosHope@gmail.com. Your donation will be 100% tax deductible. You can also use this link to Pay Pal https://www.paypal.com/cgi-
I have started a few online fundraisers for my host families. 100% of all proceeds will go toward hosting with Guglielmo's Hope, Inc. and children in need. Stella and Dot is one of them and I will also be adding 31 Bags soon. Here is our first one for the Johnson family. http://www.stelladot.com/ts/is4l5 They hosted an 8 year old boy last summer and hope to bring his brothers for Christmas. The boys were found in the streets, thin and starving. Erin and her family have already started changing their lives but need help to finish it. Please keep posted as I add links to help my families and friends fundraise for amazing causes. Erin's trunk show will end next week. Please think of Christmas presents and parties you may be attending. Maybe you need a stunning accessory to go with your amazing dress. Or a gift for that special woman in your life. Helping us change lives while you shop. If you would like to do a Trunk show to help me fundraise for others or to raise money for hosting, please email me.
I did a Stella and Dot fundraiser for my friend last night. Kristen Schoepe's niece has a rare brain cancer. Aliza Jean's parents have been off work and at her bed side while they search the world for a doctor who will help her. Kristen does so much for Guglielmo's Hope and the community and I wanted to let her and her family know they are not alone in this battle. Her fundraiser will end tonight so please consider helping. We have already sold over $2000 in product. THANK YOU ALL who have bought items. http://www.stelladot.com/ts/il3l5

Love and Blessings,
