As soon as we heard about Many Hopes we wanted to be involved. After skyping with the Founder (and enjoying his irish accent) we became invested into the vision of this great organization. Many Hopes doesn’t just look at the issues of today, but believes in a better tomorrow. We do too. FreelyBe believes that if we can raise a generation that knows how to lead and help a hurting world, then true freedom is right around the corner. It’s not just about being the change you wish to see in the world, but helping others to be that change as well.

We are partnering with Mercy29 because they promote freedom through Africa and India. They take in children that were once child slaves – and show them their value and worth. Mercy29 takes it a step beyond care – but they give those they rescue a future and a hope.

I think if someone walked by the first meeting with Team First – they would definitely laugh. Two giant former NBA players sitting for lunch with two little blonde girls – discussing the hope for education in New York City. We decided to partner with Team First because they have taken their gifts and talents and are using them to inspire and mentor the youth of our great city.
