Tree of Hope – Art Auction Raising Money For Children of Japan

Artist: Bruno LoGreco life coach toronto, author & motivational speaker

Size: 11×16
Opening Bid: $10
Monies raised will be donated to www.savethechildren.org to help the children of Japan overcome the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis.
I created Tree of Hope a few weeks ago while learning to use acrylic paint. Trees represent grounding and stability. The roots of a tree go deep and wide giving it its stability, making it difficult, if not almost impossible to move. Unless of course a natural disaster occurs, then everything moves just as it did in Japan March 11.

Here’s how it will work:

  1. Every few days, I will post a picture of one of my paintings, listing its size, title and any other relevant information.

My day is over. But not before working with some amazing people. All of whom struggle with emotional issues.

Earthquake. Tsunami. Nuclear crisis.


Independent of each other, any of these events would be considered horrifying. Japan enduring all three of these disasters within a matter of days is catastrophic.

As one of the millions of people around the globe who watched in heartbreak as Japan’s disaster unfolded, I know I’m not alone in my feelings of helplessness and despair. And like so many of you, I also feel an overwhelming need to reach out and help the thousands of people who have not only lost their homes and their towns, but their loved ones, as well.

I believe we become who are in the first seven years of our life. More than any other age group, Japan’s youth will feel the impact of this disaster for decades to come, perhaps the rest of their lives. Recognized as the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need around the world, Save the Children needs our donations to help the children of Japan reduce the psychological impact these disasters will undoubtedly have on their mental health.

Help me help them.

Within the next few days, I will begin posting pictures of my paintings online at www.brunologreco.blogspot.com and auctioning them off to the highest bidder. All proceeds from this auction will be donated to Save the Children (www.savethechildren.org).
