We're mailing off an application for a matching grant from Hand in Hand Christian Adoption! Andy took the lead on this one and filled out most of the application. Our friends the Moss's applied and were given a grant and they told us about it. Their grant was for $2500 matched up to $5000 and at the last hours (Hand in Hand puts a time cap for you to raise the funds) they got all the money in! How cool is that!
Anyway, please pray for favor with this.
As a fund raising update: we have received $7695! This is truly amazing! We are getting very close to having enough in our adoption account to be able to accept a referral. Hopefully if we get the matching grant, that will send us over the top. Hand in Hand is a 501c3 so if you have been wanting to give but would like the tax deduction, if we get this grant, your gift will be tax deductible!
Obviously, this means we are still waiting for a referral. We have high hopes of seeing our babes by Thanksgiving! But we'll keep waiting until the day comes....
Thanks so much for keeping up on this journey with us; we are delighted to share it with you!
