Stop What You Are Doing

I read the below this morning and have made my donation. Please join me!

"I have blogged about this family once already, but I have such a huge heart for them that I have to blog about them again.

"Their need is now URGENT. They are headed to the Ukraine VERY SOON to adopt an older boy. They are also trying to bring a 17 year old boy home on a student visa. Their story is so compelling and so amazing. They need to raise the money very quickly so they can go get their boys and bring them home.

"If they cannot raise the funds, they cannot bring him home. PERIOD.

"I am praying you would STOP right now and go and donate to their adoption. No amount is too small. Think of some small thing you can give up this week.... a coffee....a fast food lunch.....maybe something even larger ...on behalf of two very special boys. Their chances for adoption at their ages is so slim. And here they have a family who loves them and wants to give them a wonderful life and a FAMILY. And what stands in the way?

"MONEY.

"Should money be the thing that keeps these boys from ever knowing the love of a family?

"We can make this possible. Simply by banning together. We can help these boys. I want them to be derailed with donations. I want to knock their socks off. I want to show them that God DOES provide.

"I made my donation. And trust me when I say right now with two homes, we are not in a great place financially. But, giving SHOULD be a sacrifice. It shouldn't be something we do flippantly. It should be out of love and out of sacrifice. I pray you will find the love in your heart to help bring home Grisha. And Dima on a visa. And in giving you get to be apart of something greater than yourself. You get the honor and privilege of helping an orphan come home to a family.

"You can also spread the word by blogging about Grisha and placing this button on your blog.

"Click the photo below to go to their blog and make a donation."

Please help me come home.  Grisha
