Dear Family and Friends,

I would like to share some information about the Giving Hands Foundation (GHF), a USA IRS approved 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. GHF was founded as a vehicle to help address some of the many challenges facing the beautiful children in my beloved country, Liberia.

Over the years, GHF focused on low-key impactful projects, supported community activities, and provided children ‘Most in Need,’ especially in hard-to-reach communities, with their basic needs including school supplies, scholarships, food, and other necessities. While it is realized that not every ‘Most in Need’ child will be reached at once, engaging one community at a time is certainly impactful and helps to put a smile on the faces of some of the children of Liberia.

Going into this holiday season, as done in previous years, GHF will partner with orphanages and community groups to bring ‘Most in Need’ children together safely for fun activities like sports, serving meals, and gifts distribution. This is to put a smile on the faces of the beautiful children.

My birthday is December 21 and to celebrate, I will once again focus on serving the children of Liberia through this GHF project, “A Christmas Smile for the Kids”. If you would like to send me a gift or would just like to support a worthy cause, I asked that you look no further, instead, please join me to support this project to become a reality byt putting a smile on the faces of many kids as possible!

“Each one – Reach One”! Jointly, our support can put a smile on the faces of so many beautiful children in Liberia, this Christmas season! Therefore, I am appealing to you to please consider donating to GHF in support of this project. My goal is to raise a minimum of $5000.00 USD for this GHF project. No amount is too small! Our collective support will go a long way towards achieving this important goal! I am counting on each of you to help me to support GHF.
