PHILANTHROPIST

"Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."

Luke 6:38

I once remember hearing the old Chinese proverb: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.”

​

With this philosophy in mind, I recognize that the problems of the world are great, and no one person can cure all ills. But as Mother Theresa once said “Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”

​

So, from grantor funded homeless shelters and after-school programs in Los Angeles to non-profit organizations focused on feeding the poor and providing medical care to the needy in Africa, I have supported and continue to support numerous philanthropic organizations focused on solving the world’s problems and healing the wealth disparity in any way I can.

Sootchy's Visit to Lighthouse Charter School in Little Rock

David Adefeso and the rest of Team Sootchy traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas, to meet the awesome kids and teachers of Arkansas Lighthouse Charter Schools, our partner in debt-free education for all! While we were there, we also visited Stephens Elementary to check out how they're getting the next generation of students involved in financial literacy. It's so energizing to see the potential that exists in America's youth, and we're even more excited to help them realize it through the #SootchyApp. CONNECT WITH SOOTCHY Visit the Sootchy website: https://www.sootchy.com/ Like Sootchy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sootchyapp Follow Sootchy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sootchyapp Follow Sootchy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sootchyapp/

$40,000 Sootchy Sweepstakes Winner!

Today I was moved to tears. I met an amazing young woman named Tessa. Tessa was the winner of our $40,000 Sootchy Education Sweepstakes. Tessa told me we’d changed her life. To me, Tessa is an example of why I chose to do what I do....⁣ ⁣ Tessa is drowning in $250,000 of student debt just because she wanted an education. She lost her job due to COVID-19, as did her mom, who co-signed some of the loans for her.⁣ ⁣ What Tessa taught me is that the mission I set out on 2 years ago is the right mission- working to ensure that no other child ever again has to take on student loan debt. ⁣ ⁣ Learn more: www.sootchy.com
