Faith In Deeds
Laura Groff has been supporting orphaned
and abandoned children in India for many
years. She was first introduced to Faith
In Deeds when her cousin married the
founder, Thomas Mollhagen.
Thomas grew up in the slums of India before
being sent to an orphanage and finally
adopted by a family in Michigan. During a
trip back to India to locate his birth family,
Thomas recognised the great need in India to
support orphaned children, and Laura quickly
got onboard.
Laura felt a strong desire to assist in the
valuable work Faith In Deeds was doing, but
without money to donate to the operation, she
wasn’t sure how she could make a difference.
Inspired and encouraged by dōTERRA’s
humanitarian vision, Laura and Blue Diamond
leader, Christy Fechser, decided to contact
dōTERRA Healing Hands ™ for help.
Laura quickly organised a fundraiser in her
community to collect donations of dōTERRA
products and essential oils, which dōTERRA
Healing Hands™ matched to double her impact.
She then travelled to India to share the products
with 50+ children living in a home established
by Thomas.
“ Often times it seems too overwhelming
or too difficult when you stop and think
about the enormity of the world’s
problems, but this project illustrated that
by just taking small steps our actions can
have a big impact on the lives of other
people. There is no limit to what we can
accomplish when we come together.”
