We are excited to tell you about our latest fundraiser. It is called the "Both Hands Project."
http://www.lifesongfororphans.org/bothHands.html
We are excited because we have a chance, not only to bring our children home, but to also serve a widow, just like it talks about in James 1:27. Basically, how this works is: Mark and I contact a widow in need and assemble a team of our friends. Then the team (including us) would send out letters to family and friends asking people to sponsor us for the day as we work on this widow's house. All the funds go to Lifesong for Orphans toward our adoption. It's just like asking someone to sponsor you for a 5K Run for the Cure. The idea has been done over 50 times around the country already!
A local organization called "Shepherd Community" http://www.shepherdcommunity.org/
helped us find a widow in the inner city who needs some work done on her 110 year old house.
We met Pam and her two children, Anthony and Chante, this past Thursday. Pam lost her husband to cancer this past September. Her son, Anthony is 24 with Down's Syndrome. Her daughter, Chante, is 21 years old.
Our friend, Dan, did an inspection on Pam's house, and there are numerous things that need to be done. (Thanks, Dan! We appreciate you taking the time to help us and Pam.)
Right now, what we need are people willing to help fix up Pam's house on May 14th and have some people sponsor you.
Some examples of jobs that will need done are plumber,painters,cleaners,landscapers,food manager, photographer,videographer,carpenter(repair stairs & fence), dry waller, carpet layer,window installer. No matter what your experience, we could use you.
If you would like to help, please email us: goinsadoption@gmail.com
Soon, we will post a list of materials we need for Pam's house.
