Lifesong for Orphans matching grant!


We just got a call about a matching grant from Lifesong! They will match $2,000 which when matched will bring our total up to $17,000+! :) They've also approved us for a Both Hands Project where we fund raise for our adoption by helping a widow in our community. Pretty awesome!

For the matching grant, donations need to go to Lifesong for Orphans in order to get matched, this is how to do that:

Give Online
1. Go to www.lifesongfororphans.org/give/donate
2. Select Give to an Adoptive Family
3. Complete online form and fill in Family Account Number & Family Name Fields (i.e. 4192 Maher)

*Please note that PayPal will charge an administrative fee (2.9% + $.30 USD per transaction). Your
donation will be decreased by the amount of this fee.

Give by Check
Please make checks payable to Lifesong for Orphans.
In the memo please note your gift preference with Family Account Number and Family Name.
 (ie: 4192 Maher)

Please mail checks to:
 Lifesong for Orphans
 PO Box 40
 Gridley, IL 61744

(Or write it to Lifesong for orphans with "4192 Maher" in the memo and give it to us and we'll mail it in)

Lifesong has been blessed with a partner that underwrites all US administrative and fund-raising
costs (TMG Foundation and other partners). That means 100% of your donation will go directly to
the need…helping orphans.

Show Hope Grant!

It came!
We received a grant for $7,000 from Show Hope! 

This means we are up to $14,000 in our adoption fund!

What an answered prayer, we are so incredibly thankful for this grant. Our agency says this adoption might cost up to $25,000 in which case, we're over halfway there!

Now excuse me while I take my excessive exclamation points and go make dinner... While dancing... :)
