Blessings in action: 10% of all of the proceeds of the Blessed Bracelet sales goes to charitable organizations that we have first-hand relationships with and knowledge of their work and service in the world. and although Love, Me and Blessed are less than 1 year old, we have already given over $7,000 to charitable organizations to include the following:
Sandra Home of India: Latha and Suresh are a wonderful, generous couple in India who welcome 220 slum children into their home every day providing them with food, shelter and tutoring. they also have ‘foster children’ that they’ve taken in on a full time basis as space, resources and accommodations allow. they raise money for these daily efforts as well as to send children to school, which costs $100 per child per school year. India doesn't have a public education system and private education is completely out of reach for the children there who live in the slums. we receive pictures and consistent loving letters from Latha sharing how our financial support is benefiting the children
.
the 20 children Blessed Bracelets sent to school this past year. we've now sent enough money to send ANOTHER 20 SLUM CHILDREN to school this year!

this is Baby Grace, one of the slum children now in the full-time care of Suresh and Latha at Sandra Home.

Does Sandra's home have a website or anything to be able to help support their mission?
