Our Goal is to raise $400 for Jonathan’s family… $271 to go! 

sasha-1Tears flow as I write this very painful post for you today my friends.  I had been looking forward to this day in our campaign more than any other.  I probably shouldn’t play favorites, but who could resist those gorgeous eyes?  Jonathan was the first orphan to ever become a child of my heart.  In so many ways, if it were not for this boy, Forty to Forever would not exist.  His sweet face touched a friend of mine, and in that one moment, I didn’t know it, but my life was changed.

Some Orphans Need Your Help…

… Forty to Forever is still on track to help orphans with special needs but with the news from that Russia is closed to American international adoptions and the organisation, Reece’s Rainbow, whom Forty to Forever works with,  has had to put their list of Russian orphans on private and can no longer accept grant funds for them, there has been a need to restructure.

But we are still going to keep raising funds for all the other families and orphans who still need our help, YOUR help.

Thanks a lot.
