Every day I wish we lived in a world free of hatred and war, deception and ~~crime~~. Every day I wish everyone would love one another… Every day I try to do at least one action that will uphold to these beliefs. Make a stranger smile, give a genuine compliment; we at Sperantsa challenge you to do the same :).

Coming this April, the new Spring line from DeCe, available only through Sperantsa. These hats are handmade in Arad, Romania, by mothers in need who are given a good wage so that they can provide their families with all the necessities: food, clothing, medication. Every hat bought contributes to financial independence for these women. (www.sperantsa.com)

This is the reason Sperantsa exists, to give hope to the hopeless, one hat at a time. I did volunteer work in this community, and when I came back I knew I had to do something about this poverty even when I wasn’t in Romania. Now, we’re the only distributor of DeCe in the USA, hopefully to expand and give hope to the world.
