Ended – Mother’s Precious Pearl Giveaway…

Our Mother’s Precious Pearls Giveaway has ended!

We have had only 7 people, whom we know of, who shared and/or gave towards JASPER‘s and JASON‘s adoption grants. Out of those 7, only 3 have commented to take part in the giveaway. We raised a total of US$24.30 for both boys.

Even though that number seems small, i’m still happy we ran the giveaway. i’m aware that there is very likely lots of other shares which we were not able to see – i’m not sure why – maybe just the way Facebook is set up. And i know people who shared but did not want a thank you gift.

However, the other numbers are encouraging; over the last 2 weeks, a total of 1593 persons saw our Facebook posts about JASPER and JASON. Plus, there was also a handful views on our blog.

So there were many who did see our boys’ stories and we will just keep on praying that somehow (with God’s leading) their forever families will see them and step forward for them.

Now onto who gets which gift.

Marine Rose receives the Brown Pearl Necklace.

Deanna Galgano receives the White Pearl Bracelet.

Angelia Nachtwey Squires receives the Dark Grey Pearl Earrings.

Thank you all once again for all your love and efforts for JASPER and JASON.

Recipients will be contacted for their mailing address via email or FB message.

Even though this giveaway has ended, please do continue to share their stories and pray for JASPER and JASON.

Thank you all for loving our precious boys!

Orphan of the Month of May – Angel Crafts Shops…

Meet ANDREW!

This sweet 11.5 year old boy is waiting for his forever family.

He is 11.5 years old and has albinism. It has been reported that his medical condition has not affected his daily life and he is a bright boy who is shy in front of strangers. He helps his foster-mother with chores and does well in school.
He lives in a society where he will be discriminated against for the rest of his life because of his skin colour and vision problems. While he may be doing ok with his foster family now, he really needs a forever family who will be there for him for the rest of his life. He will always know that his foster family will never be his real family. He needs the support of a loving family he can call his own.
Because of prejudice in his home country against his condition, it would be almost impossible for him to be adopted domestically. An expensive international adoption is likely his chance at having a family of his own.

AngelCraftsShop would like to help ANDREW grow his adoption grant and get the word out that he needs a forever family. So in the month of May, 50% of all sales from AngelCraftsShop will be donated to ANDREW‘s adoption grant.

We look forward to your help, through your purchases, to help ANDREW. And please also SHARE his story and pray for him. Thank you.

Mother’s Precious Pearls Giveaway…

Do you know what are a mother’s pearls? Sure, some mums do own strings of lovely pearls. But what are a mother’s true and most precious pearls?

They are her children! Born of her, loved by her, nourished by her and who will always take that important place in her heart of hearts.

JASPER and JASON – whom we pray for daily and we advocate for – they were their mother’s precious pearls, once. But due to circumstances, and for reasons we will never know, they were given up.

Now we are advocating for them, praying and hoping for a new mother to claim them as her precious pearls. Will you help us? Will you join us in SHARING their stories with as many as we can?

Because of their special needs (click on their names to read more), and the unlikelihood of being fully accepted into the society they have been born into, their hope for a forever family lies outside their home country. This means an expensive international adoption. Will you help GROW their adoption grants so their forever families will have less of a burden in reaching them?

This Mother’s Pearls Giveaway is one of the ways we would hope would help these boys find their family. And as a thank you for all your efforts to help these precious boys, we have some gifts for you – 15 in total, and you get to choose which one you would like to have.

Here are our thank you gifts:

Brown Pearl Bracelet – a lovely dark brown-coloured string of 26 artificial pearls on an elastic string. Measures about 6.5 diameter. (2 available)

Peach Pearl Bracelet – a pretty peach-coloured string of 26 artificial pearls on an elastic string. Measures about 6.5 diameter. (2 available)

White Pearl Bracelet – a classic white-coloured string of 26 artificial pearls on an elastic string. Measures about 6.5 diameter. (4 available)

Bronze Pearl Earrings – a nice pair of bronze-coloured artificial pearl earrings, each pearl measures about 0.9cm diameter. (2 available)

Cream Pearl Earrings – a sweet pair of cream-coloured artificial pearl earrings, each pearl measures about 0.9cm diameter. (2 available)

Dark Gray Pearl Earrings – a sweet pair of dark gray-coloured artificial pearl earrings, each pearl measures about 0.9cm diameter. (Only 1 available)

White Pearl Earrings – an elegant pair of white-coloured artificial pearl earrings, each pearl measures about 0.9cm diameter. (2 available)
