One night left!!

Yesterday and today we had the privilege of hearing the Inspiring musical works of Eric Genius.

He plays with such passion that at times, he literally is lifted off his piano bench while playing. (I didn’t know that was possible) He is able to make music come to life through his finger tips. One of the songs he played called Angel in Disguise is a song written for his daughter who has special needs. You can feel the love and joy he has for his daughter in this song.

Vocalist –Holly’s voice was so moving and so powerful it gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. The cellist- Sofie, plays with a sorrowfulness and the beautiful sound that comes from her instrument could stand by itself.  Words are hard to find to describe how Lisle- the violinist is able to become one with her instrument as she plays. Beautiful notes coming from within her and played on her instrument. 

Concert of Hope was a night of Inspiration, of encouragement, of HOPE. Eric’s music transcends any culture. It is a language that reaches out to people.  The message from his music was sent across the ocean to Liberia to the women and children there. The message- we care, we are here to help, and we are here to give hope. 

Team with us to bring Eric Genius to your town and to your home so that together we can bring hope to many more children in Liberia. He is honored to be a part of this cause. Contact us today. 

And don't forget that tomorrow night he is doing a free concert in Brooklyn Park, MN at the Park Center High School at 7pm. Address is  7300 Brooklyn Blvd. Come and bring all your friends, neighbors, and family to this night of Inspiration and Hope!

Welcome to Concert of Hope!

It started with a Diamond

I get asked from time to time why I felt the need to start Forget-Me-Not Children's Homes in Liberia. I tell them it started with a Diamond.

Diamond was a little boy with cp in Liberia who I had set out to adopt. Only he passed away from malaria before we could bring him home. I never thought of myself as someone who could parent a child of special needs. For reasons not known to me- I was being led to adopt him though. He was to be our Brice Diamond. His heart gave out after a battle with cerebral malaria.Like so many children in Liberia- he was abandoned- unwanted due to his special needs. So many children waiting for an opportunity to be loved like him. I may have never held him in my arms but I did in my heart. He is there still. And in every child I advocate to help like him.

This was a song I dedicated to him when he passed. I think it is befitting to all children abandoned and waiting still....

We All want to make our place in this world

We All want our voices to be heard

Everyone wants a chance to be someone

We all have dreams we need to dream

But sweeter than any star you can reach

Is when you reach and find youve found someone

You'll hold this world's most priceless thing

The greatest gift this life can bring

If you can look back and know

You were Loved.

You were loved by someone

Touched by someone

Held by someone

Meant something to someone

Loved somebody

Touched somebody's heart along the way

You can look back and say... You were loved!

You can have Diamonds in your hand

Have all the riches in the land

Without love do you really have anything

When someone cares that youre alive

When someone finds their world in your eyes

Then you'll know youve find all you need

Youll hold this world's most priceless prize

The sweetest treasure in this world

If you can look back and say... You were loved!

You were loved by someone

Touched by someone

Held by someone

Meant something to someone

Loved somebody

Touched somebodys heart along the way

You can look back and say...

You were Loved!

Doodles Helping Liberia's Children

Our adorable doodles are bought from families all over the U.S. What makes these puppies great family pets is their intelligence, little to no shedding, size, loyalty, and family friendly demeanor. I have been selling miniature golden doodles to help fund our programs in Liberia for 2 yrs. What a blessing it has been to help a family find the perfect pet and that family feel they have given back to children in need through their puppy purchase. 

Help spread the word about our puppies-www.doodledoghill.com. And how they are helping so many children in need in Liberia- Africa. Thank you!

And watch our website for updates on upcoming litters as well.

How many of us can say this about ourselves? Our special needs children in our Forget Me Not Children's Homes know no different. In Christ they are more than enough- they are accepted- they are loved.
