Want to be Published?

Illustrators Needed!

Second Chance with Saving Grace is a nonprofit that helps hurting people and animals. We've been an international all volunteer team of gifted and giving people since 2007. We currently have 2 children's books in The Adventures of Gracie & Diane series that need to be illustrated. 

The first in the series was done with an artist who is no longer available. While the style does not have to be identical we are taking samples of the Gracie & Diane characters at this time to find our next winner to publish. The books are taken to children in hospitals, given to hurting people and help raise funds for animals while being sent out in Love Kits to encourage those in need all over the world. At our last hospital free story time and Love Kit giveaway a mom told us with tears in her eyes, "I haven't seen my son smile like this in months. Thank you for what you are doing, it blessed us today... more than you will ever know!"

The books are 32 pages including a bio page for illustrator and writer. We plan to print 5,000.

Join our team in promoting an inspirational message of hope and encouragement to animal lovers of all ages! 

This amazing Italian greyhound that is rescued by Diane yet she rescues Diane right back is counting on you and so are all the little children who have come to know and love her. 

Gracie is the worlds first service dog helping a woman overcome and more safely live with a rare blood disease called cryoglobulinemia vasculitis. More about the series can be found on you tube or at www.DianeDike.org

Eagle Colorado Adoption/Foster Home Needs a Vehicle

Our mission is to help hurting people and animals and provide opportunities for volunteers to do the same while using their gifts and talents to live a life of impact and purpose. We offer a safe place for all to be a part of a family that cares and is making a difference.

We've added fostering and adopting children to our outreach efforts. We are a safe place for little hearts to heal! When Paul and Diane found out that there are approx. 6,800 foster children in Colorado and 550 needing adoption AND that there was not a Foster Home available in Eagle County they immediately made plans to get re-certified, ready to open their hearts and home.  

Duties and Responsibilities  There are nearly half a million young people living in foster care in America. The goal is to return the children to their homes but when that is not possible they need long term care and/or adoption. 
It's been an intense process but the Dikes are ready. Duties include: parental guidance, upkeep of CPR + First Aid training, Love & Logic training, they've passed several background checks, have a bed and dresser for every child; they are prepared for: face to face time with birth parents, addressing medical and dental needs, transportation to and from activities, school, medical or therapeutic appointments, participation in treatment decisions, creating clear and consistent behavioral boundaries, providing financial, emotional and educational support, providing meals, clothing... and a stable, consistent, culturally sensitive and nurturing home environment.
