This week I watched as people around the country came together to 
raise enough money for ONE MORE orphan to come to America this 
Christmas. In less than 10 hours $2,800 had been raised and this boy who
 would have been "left behind" had a winter host family. Many people I 
know gave generously even though they were fundraising for their own 
hosting/adoption costs. One of them was a dear friend who
 is truly a blessing to all those 
around her! While her husband is overseas on deployment she is not only 
holding down the fort at home and raising their three kids but she's 
invited two adorable little Latvian orphans to spend Christmas with them
 as well. ALL while her hubby is off serving our country! This family is
 very near and dear to my heart and with Veterans Day just a few days 
away I thought we could all come together to BLESS THEM and THANK THEM 
for the many sacrifices their family has made for our freedoms! Hosting
 has a financial commitment and these two little ones will be the 7th 
and 8th children they have hosted over the years. Would you consider 
making a donation on their behalf to help offset the costs of hosting? 
They are in the throes of fundraising and still more than $1700 away 
from their goal. This is a great chance to "support our troops" in a 
very real, practical, and meaningful way. 
They
 have not asked me to post this, in fact they do not even know I am 
asking as I have blocked them from seeing this post :) I would LOVE to 
see people I know from far and wide all come together to bless this 
special family who has sacrificed repeatedly over the years for the rest
 of us! 
To donate use this link, click on the 
button that says "donate to a specific child" and put B0329 "in the note to 
sellers" line (see below). If you somehow miss the place to designate, please let me
 know and I will notify our accountant as to where your contribution 
should go. 
I'd LOVE it if you'd consider sharing this with your own friends and family and ask them to join us in 
blessing this family as well!! $5, $10 and $20 donations will add up quickly if we all give a little in support of this honored military family! 
P.S. If you know which family I am referring to, please don't ruin the surprise!
