What does Hogar de Esperanza do with your donations of clothing and household items? First and foremost, we give them away to those who are most in need of them. Great care is taken to make sure that they get exactly what they need. Any extra items are sold in Esperanza Thrift Shop, where all of the proceeds go back into directly supporting the foundation’s work of helping those in need.
Are you moving soon – perhaps across town or maybe even back home – and you have items that you can’t take with you? Do you wish you had someone to come carry away those items remaining after your moving sale, that you don’t know what to do with? Were you just spring-cleaning last week, and came across clothes in your closets that you no longer wanted? If you would like to do some incredible things with those items you no longer need or want, let us turn them into something valuable to help those in need.
We accept anything that you wish to donate, and put it to immediate use. You can come by the thrift shop, which is located at 8-28 Juan Montalvo y Mariscal Sucre, to drop off items Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 5:30 PM. We also do pick-ups of donations, so feel free to contact us to arrange a time. Thank you so much for your support of Hogar de Esperanza – we could not do any of this without you.

Monday May 27th at 11:00 to 13:00
Gather at the main entrance of the City Cemetery on Monday, May 27th, from 11:00 to 13:00. In remembrance of our brave men and women who have died for our freedom, we will lay flags at the city cemetery.
This is the first time the Ecuadorian fallen have ever been honored in Cuenca, and we intend to make it an annual event, much like in the United States. In 1941, Ecuador engaged Peru in battle. The loss of life was high. To pay our respects, there are four mausoleums and a handful of graves on which to place flags of both countries.
Join a few expatriates from the United States to place both countries’ flags on Memorial Day. Wear patriotic dress, and admission is free.
Hope to see you there.

You can detox your liver, strengthen your heart, and protect your body from free radicals with a specialized IV drip.
Glutathione is the “master” antioxidant. It neutralizes free radicals such as superoxide and reactive oxygen species (ROS) like hydroxy radicals, peroxynitrites, and hydroperoxides, all of which are byproducts of oxygen metabolism in the mitochondria. Free radicals and ROS can cause damage to DNA, proteins, and cell membranes, altering their function and causing mutations. They may also be implicated in chronic illnesses like cancer or heart disease. Glutathione renders these molecules inert, protecting you from their destructive effects. Detoxification is another primary function of glutathione. It attaches to substances like heavy metals and xenobiotics—molecules that need to be excreted—forming “conjugates” that make them easier to eliminate by the liver via bile and the kidneys via urine. B Complex vitamins and Selenium are also added, which act as a powerful antioxidant against oxidative stress and facilitate metabolism.
Benefits of glutathione:
Prevents chronic illness
Slows the aging process
Boosts athletic ability
Controls inflammation
Detoxifies the liver
For all its benefits, glutathione struggles with one thing: getting absorbed into our bodies. Oral glutathione supplements are a start, but stomach enzymes immediately dissolve the bonds holding the three amino acids together. And without those bonds, they won’t be absorbed into our systems.
However, when you take glutathione intravenously through IV infusion therapy, it goes right into the bloodstream.

Brand spanking new King LL Bean Maine Made cotton blanket. Beautiful, breathable 100% corded cotton, perfect by itself on warmer nights and/or for layering on cooler ones. White, so it’ll go with whatever else is on your bed.
If you’ve not tried LL Bean linens, you’re in for a treat. It’s amazing how useful and lovely these deceptively simple blankets are. Made to last your lifetime + whoever you leave it to’s.
Brought in two, but no longer have King bed. It’s way too nice to cut down to a Queen (I think). New, they sell on the site and in the store for $175. I’ll let this one go for $100 and be happy to have some extra room in my linen closet.
