Dr Delphinium Designs & Events feels it is important to give back to the community.  Each year we donate products, time and money to many charities, foundations, and schools. Listed to the side are some of the groups we have given to recently.

Our employees participate in a program we call Dr D Gives Back.  Here are some causes we have been proud to help.

SEPTEMBER DONATION: Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research

Sarcoidosis is a potentially fatal inflammatory disease that can appear in almost any organ in the body. Although the lungs are affected in more than 90% of patients, the disease often attacks the heart, eyes, central nervous system, liver and kidneys.

FSR is leading the research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of sarcoidosis with new medicines. There is no cure for this disease but with the proper funds FSR can find a breakthrough for this disease.

Love146.org

Love146 works toward the abolition of child sex slavery and exploitation in South East Asia.

Children are being trafficked and raped daily. This physical, mental and emotional trauma can leave children broken and scarred for life. Interventions for these children are critical to their survival and restoration.

Love 146 Round Home, built this year, is designed to facilitate the restoration and holistic health of every child entering its doors. The approach to running the home is attuned to the needs of the exploited and traumatized child, which include both the needs of ordinary children as well as children who have been wounded in many ways, lack hope, are broken, lack opportunities and self-worth. Therefore, the Round Home is characterized by efforts to keep the child safe and well provided for, instill hope, effect healing and restoration, promote growth and development, facilitate the release of potentials, and enable the child to come full circle, liberated from their traumas and sufferings, to realize their innate worth.

Love 146 is dedicated in stopping the exploitation of children and providing a safehome for rehabilitation.

"My idea of a safehome is where we nurse the bird's broken wing. If we do well with our nursing, then the bird should be able to fly again and out of the safehome, and soar to the heights it was meant to reach. If it casts a glance at the safehome again, then it should be from above, among the clouds of its achievements."

-Dr. Gundelina Fiasco Director of Aftercare Love146
