Make a difference for ONE!

As you might have read in our last post, my mom has an advocacy blog called Stop For Snowdrops and it is amazing!

Well, she posted a post about this little orphan named Linny.....

(Sigh) Our hearts all broke into a million pieces! My entire family grieved when we found out her story!

She yearns to be loved!

This is an emergency, Linny is 3 1/2 years old and only 19lbs...she is weak! She NEEDS the love of a family. She NEEDS food. She NEEDS loving attention and the right medical attention!

                                      



When you read her story, we don't want you to feel 'bad' for her but do nothing about it!

She has an account on Reece's Rainbow where you can donate money to specifically her adoption fund!

You can donate $20 or you can donate $200

Make a difference for ONE!

(Donating $20 simply means not having your weekly Starbucks drink this month)

This world is going to try to tell you that you shouldn't do anything to help. Don't listen to that! That is not right!

God tells us in James:

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
James 1:27

If you have to the choice between helping a helpless orphan or spending more money on material items, the choice should NOT be hard!

You have the chance to help turn her frown upside down!

Those eyes! That face! 

                                                             She is SO BEAUTIFUL!

BEAUTIFUL!

We wanted to do something! Anything!

So, on Saturday, July 13th 2013, we got together, gathered up our inventory, and headed over to the Family Christian Bookstore. We set up and almost immediately we had customers!

It was awesome! We were able to raise so much money for Linny!

Halfway through the day we decided that we should donate ALL the money that we had in our C4CO fund to Linny, not just what we earned that day.

God really blessed us! We had so many great customers! We could really feel God's hand over our mission!

We are not sure how much money we raised, just on Saturday, but we counted up all of our C4CO money and we donated it to Linny. We were able to donate $370! 

Before

There was $261.90

After

Now there is $594.90!!

We are SO happy that we were able to donate! And we aren't finished!

Think about this: If 1500 of you each gave $20, her entire adoption fund would be covered! That is $30,000!

I challenge you, YES YOU! If your eyes are on this screen and if you are reading this, then I challenge you to give at least $20. And, tell your friends and family to donate at least $20.

~ While we were selling a beautiful butterfly flew over to our table and would not leave us alone. It landed on us, our table, and our crafts. Then I realized that, that butterfly was a sign, from God, of hope and redemption for Linny! Later that day, after we finished selling and we were back at home, we saw the butterfly again. It flew circles around us and landed on us. That butterfly was God reminding us that he will never leave us nor forsaken us. He is with every orphan. Every person. And He is with Linny! She has HOPE! ~

We were able to snap some pictures of it the second time we saw it!

The Linny butterfly!
