About Us

Nurturing Little Lives With Big Love

My name is Phil, and I am on the verge of retirement after 17 years as a high school teacher and 25 years as a pastor. I have built this business for two reasons.

First, I am looking for supplemental income so that my wife and I can enjoy the years ahead.
Second, I am involved with East St. Louis Kindercottage, an oasis for children from infancy through age 12 in the heart of a blighted community. I will be giving Kindercottage one-third of my profit from this business until I have recovered the costs of starting it. After that, the profit will be split 50/50 with Kindercottage.

Anyone wishing to verify that I have kept my commitment can contact the Kindercottage by calling its director, Aimee Hart, at 618 799 1417.
