I am so grateful to some really incredible friends and humans who have volunteered their invaluable knowledge and services to help NicaLove not only become an official nonprofit with all the bells and whistles, but also who have allowed me the time to focus my energy on my strengths and where I am needed most. NicaLove wouldn’t be where it is now without their support and guidance. 

A HUGE thank you to our fiscal agent FNE International  and founder Michael Cipoletti. Michael’s guidance and care has been of incredible support as NicaLove has grown. This partnership has allowed NicaLove to grow immensely, to accept tax-deductible donations, to focus on fundraising and on-the-ground operations in Nicaragua and to join a network of people who care about improving the lives of animals, individuals and communities in Nicaragua. Thank you, Michael! 

Thank you Steve Murry and his company, Seabreeze solutions http://seabreezesolutions.com/, for the support and guidance on our website development and for the many hours of tech assistance.  Thanks Steve for being patient with my learning curve throughout this process. Best tech guy around these parts!

Thank you Mary Jo Brown and Brown & Company Design for the invaluable advice, logo assistance and all-around support. Mary Jo was constantly steering me in the right direction and giving me courage to continue when I needed it most. 

Thank you to my dear friend, Meg Ross, nonprofit guru for the invaluable guidance, expert advice and editing assistance. Meg has been an amazing support since day one of this crazy idea through to becoming an actual nonprofit. Always offering support, I couldn’t have come this far without her. 

Thanks to Maki Pombo and her amazing staff at Peak Business Consultants LLC, especially Kelly Preisendorfer,  who generously took on my horrible accounting.  PEAK has generously donated their services to get us back on, and keep us, on track! Check out Maki’s new hot sauce company, it is amazing! https://volcanicashhotsauce.com/

Thank you to my incredibly talented daughter, Addie Sargent, for the many, many, many hours of help.  She not only created the NicaLove logo, but she also played the biggest role in the creation of our website, our office supplies and much more!  Watch out world, this young woman is going places. 

All these amazing people and many more (you know who you are) have supported me and have enabled me to focus on my strengths and passion. Because of all of these amazing people and their generosity, NicaLove is formally ready to go!
