For the Love of a Child...

12:21 PM | Posted by Amie

I am blessed to be surrounded by friends who spend their time figuring out how to make a difference in the world. Not only thinking about it, but finding a way to make it happen. My ADORABLE SIB(sister in Blog), Andrea, saw a way that she could help all of the families who are fundraising to bring their little ones home. This is a passion of Andrea's; Helping families get their little ones home. I don't want to embarrass her, but it would make you smile BIG if you only knew how many adoption fundraisers she has purchased MULTIPLE entries to(most to fundraisers of people she doesn't even "know"), how many items I have seen her donate to other's fundraisers, how many times I have heard her say "lemme see what I can find to sell to bring some money to this family." Too many to count. I LOVE this sister's heart. Andrea set up a site for families to advertise their adoption fundraisers. So there is a central location to visit for all of us who are looking to help other families bring their little ones home. How COOL is that! What a Fabulous idea. What a wonderful ministry. Did I mention I love her? I hope you will visit For the Love of a Child when you are thinking about Teachers Gifts. Or what to buy for Fathers Day. Or anniversary Gifts. Bless Others by Blessing Others. Love it! There is another fundraiser a friend is doing to help bring home her daughter from Africa that I want to bring to your attention. Her fundraiser has not been posted to the site yet, but if you would love to stop by and show her some support, I know it would bless her! http://outofafrica-graber.blogspot.com/. Take some time to read how God showed them their next child, a little girl, would be in Africa. So Cool to see God in the details. Hope to see you over there!
Out of Africa
