So today is small business Saturday and I am so blessed by my life adventure with creating my own business. I was not always comfortable with the money aspect of my business until someone shared with me that money in the hands of good people can do great things. Now I am a big believer! Let me share...so you see in 2017, I had travelled to Florida to hear a network marketer speak and share her business insights and one of her biggest thoughts was that as we grow our business, we must connect our growth with something bigger than our ourselves!! I chose the D. Gary Young Living Foundation Project Healing Faith Uganda. I loved this project because with a simple $5 donation enough mosquito netting would be purchased to safe 3-4 children as they were sleeping against mosquito bites which can cause the devastating and life threatening illness, malaria. Malaria is the largest killer of individuals in Uganda. For me, bedtime was my special time with my babes so I could not imagine the worry a parent in Uganda might suffer while putting their child to bed. Well, I am proud to share that over the last 3 years my giving which I too partnered with the growth of my business, we have been able to safeguard 2,420 children. I was so moved when I saw this number. I had no idea when I first started this endeavor the ripple effect it would make. In fact, I just received notification that the Young Living Foundation Project had been so successful that YL’s funding is now complete. They were able to hang more than 40,000 mosquito nets, test and educate over 30,000 individuals and treat over 20,000 people with malaria. In all, the Foundation helped Healing Faith Uganda positively impact the lives of 313,957 individuals. A job well-done!! Now on to my next adventure. Stay tuned because you too can get involved!!
