The Gift Of A Family…

i am always always always grateful for my family; for my husband and son, for my mummy, daddy and brother, for my godma, for my grandma, for my aunts and uncles, for my cousins, for my in-laws, for my nephews and nieces… we may not always agree or even be in the same country BUT we are family!

And to be without them is unimaginable!

So the gift of a family is what i hope and pray for all the orphans in the world and while i can not give every one of them a family, i do what i can to help the few whom i know how to and can help.

This video shows you children who are home, safe in the arms of love as the song says. i have been privileged in the last 2 years to be a tiny part of a few of those children’s journey to love and nothing, nothing beats the feeling of knowing i was a small part of their journey, even though we may never meet.

Right now, we are 2 days from the end of the Angel Tree Fundraiser (see here for first post about it). A very generous donor has offered to get 55 of the children over the US$500 mark for their Angel Tree fund IF we get the other 55 over! Details and double entries into a great giveaway are HERE!

You can CLICK HERE and give to any child who has less than US$500 in their Angel Tree fund (red numbers). You would then be a part of their journey to the loving arms of a forever family.

DATELINE: by Midnight Sunday, 29th December, US Time.

Thank you very much.

Even though our Jewelry Giveaway has ended, we still have not reached our fundraising goal of US$1000, so if you feel it in your heart to give a little (every bit helps), please do go to Jasper’s profile page and donate.

More importantly, please share Jasper’s story so that more will know about him and share about him and in this way, his forever family might be found. And also do continue to pray for Jasper, for his daily needs and for his forever family to come for him as quickly as possible.

Thank you very much for your support.
