First Check Delivery

Hello All,

Yesterday we presented my sister-in-law with the first check from Sticks of Hope profits. They were so appreciative and touched. Elodia looks amazing she is in high spirits and trying to rest, which is no easy task with the two little ones. I can't wait to see what else we can all achieve by spreading the word about our pretzels. Tell everyone you know!

Thanks again to you all!

Thank you to everyone!

Keep up the hope!

Changing lives one bite at a time

Sticks of Hope is a non-profit portion of La Dolce Vita. I have set out to sell my chocolate covered pretzels to the community and donate all of the profits to charity. Currently I am raising money for my sister in law, Elodia, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She has a new baby and another daughter in elementary school. Both her and her husband will be taking the next few months off from work as she goes through treatment. As they will be needing some financial help I thought this could really be a way to help them out. I am selling the pretzels for $1.00 each. We are also accepting donations above and beyond pretzel purchases. I will keep everyone posted on how Sticks of Hope is progressing. In the mean time, tell everyone you know about our yummy pretzels and help spread the word and hope! Thank you to you all!

Love,
Des
