Meet the Willet family, a partner debut!



G2C is super excited to introduce our newest partner, Jeremy and Kathleen Willet.
Jeremy and Kathleen are pursuing adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia, Africa and will be working to raise funds for the adoption process that costs in the upward range of $35,000.
This family hits close to home as one of our own team members at G2C is also pursuing an adoption from Ethiopia.  G2C was honored to join the Willet's in this partnership!  How incredible to get to be a small part in changing another life!

Jeremy is the lead singer for a rock band, WILLET, co-author of the book "Carried", and President of the "The Hunger Strike" .

Jeremy and Kathleen lived in Haiti from 2009-2010 where Kathleen served as the Community Development Program coordinator, and Jeremy traveled back and forth to the U.S. on tour with the band to encourage sponsorships of the children through Food for the Hungry.
In January of 2010, one month before the release of Willet's new record, "Teeth of a lion, fangs of a lioness", the unexpected happened, a massive 7.0 earthquake hit the country of Haiti while Kathleen Willet was in the country.  The band was on tour in New Zealand getting ready for a performance when they heard the news.  They waited 3 days to hear if Kathleen and her kids survived the tragedy.

Now, Jeremy and Kathleen serve together full-time with The Hunger Strike working domestically and internationally to alleviate extreme poverty.

The Ground to Cup team is extremely excited at the opportunity to partner with the Willet family in their work and in their future adoption.  Sharing their passion for orphans and adoption, G2C is privileged to give back 40% of all funds raised on behalf of their causes!  Together we get the chance to Bring Hope and a Future!

Follow their adoption here and purchase on behalf of their family!  Let's help them bring home Baby Willet!
