Give1Save1 Week!!!!

         It's here! It's finally here! Our Give1Save1 Fundraiser week starts now!! I am so excited about this opportunity and we are praying that God just blows our minds with what he has planned for this week! So in case you missed my earlier post- we have been chosen as the Give1Save1 family of the week.  So the awesome people over at Give1Save1 are featuring our video on their blog for this week.  They are helping us spread the word about our story to bring our precious Ryah home! And we need all the help we can get! Since she was with another agency- we had to start completely over with funds.  Luckily- and not so coincidentally I think- we had grant money that was just sitting, waiting to be used for over a year now.  And because of that, we were able to pay the first big chunk of fees we needed to be able to accept Ryah's referral. We are so thankful for that! But now, we need to finish paying our fees to this new agency, and fundraise for travel.  So we are setting our goal at $10,000. Yes, that is a big number. But we have seen God provide every single penny up until this point, and we have no doubt that he will continue to do it until our girl is home!  We are just excited to see how he does it this time!
      What is Give1Save1 you ask? Well here is what they do, straight from their blog:

GIVE 1

Every Monday I’m going to ask you for a dollar. I’m going to tell you who it’s going to and what it’s being used for. We’re mostly funding adoption for the people, by the people.  We’re just going to rain down a crazy blessing on a family, organization, orphanage, or project and we’re going to do it every week. We’re going to get huge. And the world will be changed for lots of people because of your generosity. That sounds exciting, doesn’t it?! Let’s do it.

I’ll tell you who we’re sponsoring and where to send your dollar. Then once you’ve donated your dollar spread the word to get some more dollars in here. If you have a voice, an email account, a blog, a facebook page, a twitter account or a pinboard USE IT! The only way we can make a big difference is to make it viral!

SAVE 1

And your dollar will be saving and restoring lives in all kinds of ways. Removing a child from an orphanage gives that child a family and a future, something everyone needs. It also frees up a bed in an orphanage for another orphan. Your dollar will change lives and save lives in ways you may never know.

So, we are humbly asking that everyone who see's this post or our video posted somewhere, to consider giving a dollar to bring our girl home. You can certainly give more than a dollar- you can give whatever you feel led to give, and we would be forever grateful! Believe me, she is beyond precious and she needs to be in a family, like yesterday! And we are so close to getting her here! We should hear of a court date any time now!

 To give, simply click on our Pure Charity button at the top right  to "back our fundraiser" and it will take you to the website where you can donate- completely tax deductible.  And without further ado- here is our awesome video that we are so excited to share- filmed by Matt Berry! Please consider sharing this post after watching the video and help us get the word out!
