Hope’s Projects

March 5, 2026

Hello and thank you for stopping in to check on Hope’s Projects.

70% of Spinning on a Barstool’s profits have been earmarked for

Chilliwack Youth for connection and to prevent homelessness

German Youth to connection and to prevent homelessness

Ukraine Grannies

These were everything we were hoping to help with The Foundation of Hope.

For the sake of transparency. Spinning on a Barstool cost $15,000 it’s first year in publishing and advertising. My personal money was used to fund this.

To date Spinning on a Barstool Profits have been reinvested in advertising and audio book production.

It has repaid me $1850.

While Spinning on a Barstool has not yet turned a profit, it did donate $600 Canadian Dollars to help fund a water tank for a coffee cart in Germany.

Spinning on a Barstool continues to sell books every month, and while it may take a while to earn enough to pay me back its start up costs… it is being read by people, and that’s why the book was written, to warn people about Daryl Heiligsetzer. It’s doing its primary job.

I want to thank you for reading it, I know you are here because you did!

Please share the story. Con artists are around every corner and, surprisingly, they act like Daryl. The best we can do is share information so others are equipped. Maybe in sharing someone else can avoid being conned by anyone, including Daryl.

Your reviews are also very important to push the book forward. Do consider leaving your own review of the story on Amazon and Goodreads.

This author thanks you!

A true story about a con man.

It started with a friendship.

The problem with being conned is that it feels perfectly reasonable—while it’s happening.

One moment he was smiling from a barstool.The next, she was holding a headline.

FINANCIAL PREDATOR

He scammed 32 police officers.

Her best friend wasn't who he claimed to be

She wasn't his first victim—but she would be the one who refused to disappear.
