When we got home I got sick, pulled muscles in my neck and shoulders, had lots of second stage dossier paperwork to get done and notarized and apostilled and sent off, new forms for our government to approve, new fingerprints to be taken, new doctor appointments to be made.... Whew! During all of this a beautiful soul decided all on their own to provide us with a matching grant challenge for the first 12 days of April! On the first of April if $10 were donated, the donor would match it. On the second day, $20, on the 3rd day, $30 and so on! We have matched many of these days! But now we are getting down to the nitty gritty, we only have til the end of the 12th to meet the challenge and have all the grant matched! To make it easier here at the end, we've combined the finishing amount needed so we have a solid goal number to shoot for in our FSP (Family Support Page). So. Right now our grant is at $9312.10. In order to match the remaining full amount, we need our FSP to read $9674! That means we have $362 left to raise before we get the grant from our donor! Can we do it? Before the end of the 12th? Remember God multiplies your pennies! Every donation matters! Do you have $10 to spare? Or $1? We appreciate every penny! I'll leave you with a couple pictures of Levi from our first trip. Please consider sharing, donating and praying! Your prayers mean something! And we covet them. Especially pray for Levi as he waits for us. I hurt to think of him waiting for us to come play with him again, and yet we don't come...

DeleteYou are getting closer to pickup trip! 2 months behind you. It's a looooong wait; do your best to do like in a pregnancy... enjoy these last few months with your other kids, pick strawberries and blueberries, prepare your home for a child with disabilities, get yourself hooked up with a developmental pediatrician and geneticist (they have wait times... sometimes 6 months!), go out to eat once or twice since eating out AT the restaurant may not be possible for awhile, make a list of people to call in case of craziness who would love to play with your kids for 1-5 hours. :-) He may be out of your arms, but he has never been outside of God's. God has not forgotten him during this wait... or you!
