Hey Everybody,
Michael & I have some amazing news to share!! We are so honored to be selected for a second grant, but this one is a little different than the ones we have received in the past. Basically, this grant is a fundraiser. Any purchases made on their website (www.raginiproject.com) throughout the month of September will come to us! Amazing, right?
This organization (The Ragini Project) was started and run by a family that adopted a little girl from India in 2014. Like us, they felt God was calling them to adopt and they jumped in without knowing where the funds were going to come from to pay all the fees! But, they were faithful and God provided. Unfortunately, the 22 months that it took for them to bring their daughter home was filled with stress and worry, which is something we are very familiar with. The whole time Sara kept thinking there has to be another way. God calls His kingdom to take care for the fatherless, so why is it so hard? Shortly after they brought their daughter home, God shared with Sara how they could purchase items from countries all over the world created by artisans trying to support their families to sell on their website with all the proceeds going to families in the adoption process! How amazing is that!?! Talk about being the hands and feet of Jesus!!
So if you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a fundraiser that could have a huge impact for us while supporting artisan families around the world, then this is the fundraiser for YOU!!! These are unique handmade items that cannot be purchased at a store for very reasonable prices. With your help, we could easily receive a grant of $1,000 or more! Christmas is right around the corner, so think of those people that are hard to shop for and check out the website to see if there is a treasure that would be special to them!!!
If you cannot help us financially, PLEASE be in prayer for us throughout the month of September. We only have $7,250 to go before we have our program fees completely paid and then all that is left is coming up with the funds to travel. We are SO close!!! Our goal is to have all the funds in the door so that we will be ready for travel as soon as we receive our invitation to travel & bring our kiddos home for good!!!
Thanks friends! Michael & I are so grateful for the support and prayers that we have received over these last 4 years! I know it has been a long journey, but you have stuck it out with us & we are finally nearing the finish line!!
Blessings,
Michael & Carey
