History ~ Art Giving Hope:

This site was developed as a collaborative project between Nikki Jelito and Dan Preece in Feb 2021. Several artists prior to this time had been making and selling projects to raise money for O.U.R. initially but has now pivoted to a new mission that we can support personally and more effectively. Starting in 2024, all money raised on this website will be donated to help fight the devastating effects of Diabetes in the Polynesian nations of the Pacific. We support surgical/educational missions to help prevent limb amputations and infections and help treat wounds, kidney failure, eyesight concerns etc related to Diabetes.

To-Date we have raised, donated and provided over $264,000 worth of medical supplies and services.

We are able to provide $10 worth of care for every $1 dollar raised. See how our efforts are making a difference at: HopeForDiabetes.org.

Many amazing volunteers, artists, and other fantastic supporters have contributed in many ways to make this project grow since its inception.

We became registered as a domestic Non-Profit in June 14, 2021 by the State of Utah, USA.

We are an official “Public Charity” Non Profit 501(c)(3) as designated by the IRS.
