10k in 20 days

So continuing the topic of adoption...

I briefly referred to Courtney's blog in my last post. Her story is amazing. So is her rockstar husband. ;) So are her children - all ten of them. God is using her as an active advocate for supporting families who are adopting - mostly she shares her heart and her stories. Some of her children are biological. Some are adopted. Each story brings glory to God in how that child came home.

Right now Courtney and her husband decided to do something for 26 very special families who are adopting. They are calling it 10k in 20 Days. The goal is to raise $10,000 in 20 days. One family's name will be randomly drawn and will receive a $5,000 donation towards their adoption fund. The rest of the money will be evenly split between the other 25 families.

All she is asking is that you give $5 or $10. Everyone has that much. That's one coffee from SB. One lunch at McD's. You know it's true. Five bucks is not much. But to that child who is waiting for a forever family - a mommy and daddy to tuck them in at night and give them goodnight kisses - it is a lot. It would bring them $5 closer to going home. HOME. Stop and think of what that word means to you. Safety. Comfort. Family. Security. Home. Now imagine you had never had any of that. How much more would the hope of that word mean to you?

Right now the little thermometer on her blog is stuck at $4,390. That's not even enough to give one family the $5,000, much less split the rest between 25 families! I challenge every one of you who reads my little blog to join me in helping push that number up - even just by $5. It would mean so much more than you will ever know. And if you do, you can even also be entered in a drawing to win some fabulous items! You can check out the list at the bottom of the page and read more about it when you click on this:

Will you take the challenge?

Oh yeah, and the Walser family I introduced to you in my previous post about the Hannah and Danielle tutus? They're one of the 26 families this will be helping! So cool! :)

And stay tuned because OH BOY do I have something to share with you. Not yet. But soon. :)
