Liv4TheCure

Liv4TheCure’s mission is to promote awareness, help families and fund research for Rare Genetic Diseases (starting with Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome). ​​ A rare disease is a disease that affects less than 200,000 people at any given time.

Our goal is to bring awareness to rare diseases, specifically Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome which is a genetic deletion on the 4th chromosome that affects children in highly varied ways. A portion of our funds will go to helping families in need. The other portion of our funds will go to research, specifically gene therapy and replacement for the missing areas of the 4th chromosome that have been deleted. ​ Liv4TheCure wants to fund the creation of a new platform technology such as CRISPR that will not only help children with WHS but any child with a genetic deletion.

Apostolate Of Our Lady Of Hope

Religious Liberty, in the Bible and the American Constitution, is America’s greatest gift to the world tormented by hate and by religious persecution. Our Mission, like the Good Samaritan, is to save lives from all kinds of persecution, rejection, or neglect and to confirm them in God’s image, the Author of all Goodness. Guided by the Spirit of the Lord, and in light of the Gospel, we toil to save the persecuted flock wherever that might be. With this, our initial aim is to protect and preserve Christianity and its roots; to restore hope, faith and love to all the children of Abraham. We serve based on the two greatest commandments of God: to love God with all your heart, and to love your neighbor as yourself. We work in all nations as peacemakers, forming new Apostles of Hope and Mercy for God, and sending them forth as ambassadors of Christ to the broken hearted and the oppressed, Proclaiming a Year Acceptable to the Lord.
