On Behalf Of

Hope Makes One Live

I have been drawn to this mixed media art on Etsy.com many times. I have used it in treasuries and I always find myself going back to look for it. It speaks to me. It is the juxtaposition of the girly petal pink, framing the devastation in Haiti which has taken away this little girl's childhood. She aches yet she is still hopeful. I had no idea the artist was still a little girl herself!


I am so happy I can share this young seller's Etsy shop with you today. Her name is Kate and her store, On Behalf Of, exists in honor and recognition of  children who cannot do for themselves. This big sister of three adopted children is still a little girl herself, yet she has traveled the world and has seen firsthand, those who others often look past. This has inspired the artwork, photography, and  the crafting you will see here and in her very special Etsy shop.

Wear this Orphan Care Bracelet in honor of the millions of orphaned children who hold on to their hope.

 In Kate's own words, "Now that I have seen, I am responsible."
Do You See Me
Kate divides Ninety percent of the proceeds from each item in her shop and gives  to the following organizations.


  • Lahash International: http://www.lahash.net
  • Blood: Water Mission: http://www.bloodwatermission.com
  • Not For Sale Campaign: http://www.notforsalecampaign.org/

Her art and craft help to provide clean water in developing countries, to free modern day slaves, to care for orphans, and provide medical help to those with HIV.

Kate is still a little girl, doing a very grown up thing. Please help and shop at On Behalf Of, in honor of those who have not.

You can also follow along Kate's blog to learn of her day to day involvement in bettering your world.
