Fundraiser Updates

Our Magazine Fundraiser is running strong. To date, $70.80 has been raised- what an awesome success! A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us through this way! And if you would like to order or renew your magazine subscriptions, this is a great way to do it. Not only does 40% of the proceeds come to help bring Chayah home, but the magazine are at a discounted price.

In addition to this, I have also opened up a Cafe Press store to raise the money to bring Chayah home. Here we have products ranging from t-shirts and sweatshirts in child through adult sizes, as well as household items, bags, hats, mugs, calendars, clocks and much more. All items are customized with an image as shown on each item at the store. Cafe Press runs and manages the products, payment, and arranges shipping-- through this a portion of the proceeds from each purchase will go directly towards bringing Chayah home!

Thank You Shaohannah's Hope!

Our God is an awesome God! When we stepped out in this journey of faith, we did not know where the finances were going to come from. But we knew that this adoption was God's will and that He would provide. Through our wonderful agency CCAI we were shown this and now again through Shaohannah's Hope! We have been awarded a grant in the amount of $3000 from Shaohannah's Hope for Chayah's adoption! Shaohannah's Hope is a ministry created by Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife, MaryBeth, to help with the costs of adoption to build bridges and families through the miracle of adoption. We received this awesome news while watching the Chapman Family on Larry King Live, and as Larry King said, "The Amazing Chapmans", and that they truly are! I cannot begin to express our gratitude towards Shaohannah's Hope; the staff, and the Chapman family, for this gift!
