Last Saturday was an absolutely amazing day. Dave and I were completely stunned and encouraged by the love and support that our friends showed us in coming out to work on Beverly's home. Each of these friends were loving us in such a personal way: they had each sent out support letters and now were working alongside us to help us to bring our baby boy into our lives.
Our good friend, Jeremy, has put together a video documenting our day. Enjoy!
Although our project day has passed, you can still help us with our final project. You see, this Both Hands project has two parts. One major part was what we did on Saturday-helping widow Beverly to fix up her home! Our mission is accomplished for Beverly. However, the second major part of our project is the hand for the orphan, our future child. If you would like to be apart of offering a hand of help financially to our orphan--you are more than welcome to help! Find more information here on how to give directly to our project: http://bothhandsfoundation.org/marriott The deadline for our project giving is July 12.
We are praying that God will use this project to raise the majority of the remaining $15,000 that we need to bring our boy home. Join us in living out our faith! Thank you for your prayers, help and support along the way. We can't wait to see what else God will do on this journey of faith.
I did not know where to make a comment or how to get this information to you, so I hope you are getting this. My husband and I are also adopting. We are adopting domestically from Wisconsin though. I found your site because I have registered to run your 5k in August. I wanted to tell you of another organization you could get involved in to help cover your adoption expenses. The site is: http://www.ordinaryhero.org/Ordinary_Hero/Home/Home.html
ReplyDeleteThey have been really great for us. We do not have to raise nearly the amount you do for your adoption, but they have been very good for us. You register with them and then people can buy things from their store and you receive 40% of the proceeds and they use the rest for their orphanage in Africa. If you would like to talk anymore about our adoption processes respectfully or get together and talk about how God is using us in this adoption process, my e-mail address is: j.heesch@yahoo.com
I loved this video! How awesome!!
