After coming home with our daughter Elizabeth, our first adotption from Russia. in 2001. Our second daughter Julia in 2004 and our third daughter Vivian in 2008. I knew that I needed to do more for the kids left behind.

How can we ensure a flow of money into these orphanages, where the government only gives them enough money to pay poverty wages to the staff, leaving no money left over for repairs and other needs. That was when I decided to put together an endowment. The purpose of the endowment to help the orphanages, all over Russia, build better environments for the children’s to grow up and thrive in. Give them safe playground equipment, provide washing machines to clean the sheets, replace broken and drafty windows and help to create a healthly environment for the kids.

As part of the fund raising effort, I have created this web site to sell items reflecting sentiments of parent, grandparents and any one who has shared in the joy of adoption. The proceeds from the goods sold goes to the endowment.

I am more determined than ever to have an impact on the lives of the kids left behind.

Thank you for visiting my site! Steve
