Witnessing goodness arise by shining God’s light and hope for the most broken, hurting, poor, orphaned and vulnerable ones here at home, and around the world.
We are a family commissioned to plant God’s seed of love so that abundant life can grow and hope can bloom through the four branches of orphan care, orphan prevention, adoption aid and care ministry for the most hurting and broken, where we have seen God’s goodness arising and hope shining.
Brave and strong
GIA’S Hope is a 501(c)3 founded in 2019 in honor of our brave, lemon loving, butterfly catching, flower picking, warrior daughter Gianna Lilyfaith Cannelongo. She was adopted from China at 2 years old with a 1/2 of a heart but full of so much joy! On April 22, 2018, Gianna lost her earthly battle with cardiac heart disease and went home to be with Jesus at 6 years old. She won her eternal inheritance.
We miss and love her fiercely and grieve deeply till the day we will reunite on the shores of eternity. Her forever life continually reflects the light of Jesus and teaches us to live bold and brave for eternal treasures.
Therefore, through the GIA’S Hope Foundation, we desire to share this gift and hope with others.
Hope for the World
Our Mission was birthed from the life of our brave daughter, adopted from China with half of a heart. She endured 6 open heart surgeries and had a laugh that brought the world so much JOY. Her life was brief (6 years), yet her light still shines eternally because of the ONE who gives us all true HOPE. It's our mission to shine God’s HOPE to the broken, hurting, poor, orphaned and vulnerable ones in our community and around the world through the 4 branches of our vision.
