Almost there

We are excited that we are getting closer to adopting Lance.  The TA should be here soon, and then it is off to China!

But I only have $5

The financial cost of international adoption is staggering and seems to be growing.  Families look at a price tag of $30,000 or $40,000 and get really overwhelmed.  At the same time, friends and family (and sometimes even strangers) want to help but they don't have thousands to give either.

What if I told you that you could help multiple families for just $5?  

A group of moms (and now a dad) have established a new program through Reece's Rainbow called 5/5/5 for Families.  The premise is simple.  Donors give $5 each month to the grant fund.  You can give more and you don't have to give monthly if you don't want to.  On the 5th of each month, the money is divided among the 5 families who have applied and been chosen for that month.  

Simple.  It's such a great way to help with a small gift.  

  

Don't think that $5 means much?  Last month the grant had over $1,100 in it!  Those small donations add up.  Every gift counts and is appreciated by every family.    

Laurence's family is one of the chosen families for this month.  On February 5th, they will receive 1/5 of the money in the 5/5/5 for Families grant.  Right now, Laurence's family has just under $500 in their Reece's Rainbow account.  The money from the 5/5/5 grant will help them immensely and you also get to help four other families who have been working hard and are getting ready to travel to bring home their new children.

See!!  You can help with just $5!!!

By the way, this is Natalie.  I haven't hijacked the blog in a while but I thought it was time!
