Both Hands Project

Well, a lot has happened since a last blogged (about a million years ago). We were accepted by Both Hands to work on a project to raise funds for our adoption! YAY! We have been so busy since then recruiting team members, finding a widow, and planning the project. Life has been such a whirlwind and a blessing these last 5 weeks.

Andy and I have the sweetest most accommodating widow named, Ms. Wanda, whose home we will be working on November 16th. She is allowing us to come in and work on her home because she "wants to help bring this baby home." A lot of our workers for the day are excited to have the opportunity to help Ms. Wanda because she has impacted their lives. She is a truly remarkable woman!

Since we began this project, God has assembled the most awesome team of workers and we are simply amazed by the response! I just had someone else join our team today with a little over a week until our project! We even have a friend flying in from Ohio to help! These volunteers are asking for sponsorship to work on Ms. Wanda's home and all the money goes toward our adoption. How cool is that?! They are working on a widow's home to bring an orphan into a forever family!

We are forever grateful to God for this opportunity and for the sacrifice these workers are giving to help a widow and an orphan. We are excited to see the impact they are going to make. They have already impacted our lives with the love they have unselfishly poured out onto us.

All of the money raised for this project is tax deductible and 100% goes toward our adoption. We are using this money toward the dossier paperwork fee of $8,250. This will also put us on the waiting list for our daughter! Any money left over will be used for the remaining portion owed for the adoption process and our travel expenses to fly to Ethiopia twice.
