Several weeks ago we applied for a matching grant with Hand in Hand Christian Adoption, Inc. And last week we found out that we got it!! We are so excited to be able to share this good news! The award amount is for $2,500 and if we can get that matched, then we'll have $5,000 to put towards our upcoming adoption costs. Wow!!
So, the important part is that we need help from family and friends--donations to help match what they are going to give us. AND...we have 6 weeks to raise this support. May 24, 2013 is the deadline to have donations sent in by and they have to be sent to Hand in Hand directly. They will keep us posted on our progress.
Another key part is that our name cannot appear on the check, but that our name IS listed on the outside envelope so they will direct the donations to us. All donations are tax-deductible.
So, we would love to have your help!! Any amount will make a difference and will help us in meeting this goal of $2,500. And ultimately, it's not about this small goal...it's about our big goal of being able to provide a home to a child. It's about being apart of God's bigger plan for our family.
Asking for help certainly isn't the easiest thing to do, but we know that God wants to use others to be a part of this story and we are humbled by so many that have already been so gracious to not only pray, but to give of their finances.
Thank you SO much!
Love,
Josh, Anna & Rachel
