projectlove     The season of gratitude and giving should be all year but we always try to do a little more this time of year. Our annual Ronald McDonald house A Nite of Roses coloring book and craft day will be held in November and December. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with kids and their families who are in a situation out of their control but still need to feel and be seen as a normal kid. We’re also giving back to you, our supporters with am RRM gear giveaway. We’d like to thank you for your continued support, it truly means a lot to us. Stay tuned for our holiday photo shoot, as we continue to grow locally and internationally, bringing together a stronger sisterhood.

We will be Adopting a family of four in the city of San Diego for Thanksgiving with a special dinner.

  Every day is a day to be thankful. Life’s abundance has no limit, and gratitude is what keeps that abundance flowing. In every circumstance there is something for which to be thankful. Even when there seems to be nothing else, there is HOPE.
