“Sau-da-de”. “Saudade is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return.”

The question is, where does one go with the love that remains?”

“Music Is Where the Love Remains”.

Liam’s Christmas Guitars ™ mission is to provide brand new Acoustic Guitars to teenagers who currently reside within Foster Care programs. Too often, these young teens from 12 – 18 are often overlooked during the Christmas gift season. Liam’s Christmas Guitars ™ aims to focus our intentions specifically on these children. Each child, boys and girls will receive a brand new beginners acoustic guitar. Each guitar will come with a case, guitar strap, picks and extra strings and a workbook. Each child will also receive a personal card from Liam’s parents, Tom and Kelly Terrio.

Supporting teens with music and music therapy is a life changing experience for these children, some of which don’t have much to call their own. Gifting and influencing children with new acoustic guitars also gives them a sense of pride and ownership. Together, with your pledge, we will provide, guitars, straps, picks, strings, cases, and workbooks to make Liam’s Christmas Guitars ™ a huge success by honoring Liam’s musical legacy and knowing that…

Dr. Brian Hill & Dr. Truc Nguyen/HIPnation

HIPnation is an Atlanta-based healthcare company that delivers an innovative healthcare solution to provide high-quality, affordable, patient-centered care. The model is founded upon a simple concept that produces a radical change – replace insurance in the primary care office with a membership-based approach. This single step removes the cost burden and distraction of insurance, refocuses healthcare on the patient, and provides 24/7 access to a personal Primary Care Physician. The model is further enhanced with significantly reduced cash rates for labs, imaging, medications, specialist consultations and outpatient surgical procedures. This combination leads to a lower cost, price transparent ecosystem for outpatient healthcare. This model can then be paired with lower cost health insurance products designed to cover those rare, high-cost healthcare events, thus placing insurance in its proper role. This healthcare ecosystem redesign reduces total overall healthcare costs, improves the quality of care, and promotes innovation in healthcare delivery while placing the patient in the center of healthcare.
