Love and Peace, A SIGN for Our Times listing of our charitable gifting;

LOVEANDPEACE
BEING THE HAPPY

With the sponsoring of children with special-abilities at an orphanage in DR.

This consists of the ongoing sponsorship of individuals with special abilities residing at a Mustard Seed Communities orphanage in the Dominican Republic. This includes the beautiful, loving individual named Abraham, who attends the Puerto Plata school there. Please know that the sponsorship of Abraham is dedicated to the memory of two beautiful people: Paul Edward Yannarelli and Linda M. Ardizzone. Their shining souls pour out their Love, Peace, light, and compassion upon Abraham, resulting in a magnificent smile radiating from deep within his heart.

Birthdate: April 2, 2006

Abraham attends the Puerto Plata Special School where he is excited about learning. His vocabulary is expanding every week and he loves engaging his peers and caregivers in conversation. Abraham has cerebral palsy, epilepsy, depression, limited motor function, uses a wheelchair, and has an intellectual disability.

Abraham likes watching movies and listening to music. He enjoys being outside and relishes in Dominican Republic’s beautiful weather—savoring the warm sun and a gentle breeze.

CLEARS THE PATH

Partnering with a company by the name of CleanHub.

Our initiative proudly sponsors the ongoing efforts of CleanHub. Together, we are funding Cleanhub’s mission to end plastic pollution by building sustainable waste management systems in high-risk coastal communities.

We’ve committed to removing 12,000 lbs. of environmental plastic waste in our first year. Thanks to our progress thus far, we’ve successfully removed 2,564 lbs. of plastic—accounting for 21% of our total goal. Over the course of this initiative, that total will be equivalent to removing 272,155 plastic bottles from the environment!

TAKES TO FLIGHT

Supporting the monarch butterfly population.

Where we’re dedicated to supporting the endangered monarch butterfly population by sponsoring the creation of certified and registered waystations. Beginning our work in Delaware County, NY, we plan to expand these vital habitats throughout the entire monarch migration route.

Please see a few pics of the good folks who, because of their desire to save the beautiful Monarchs, have dedicated a portion of their property to the creation of these vital waystations. These habitats are planted with milkweed—an essential plant vital to the butterfly’s lifecycle and survival.

BRANCHES OUT

Proceeds of the sale of merchandise will go to support the many charitable initiatives of LOVEANDPEACE A SIGN for Our Times.
