Ways to help

As I shared in my last post, we are excited to be hosting four siblings from an Eastern European orphanage this summer. We see God’s hand in the midst of it and we pray our hearts will trust and press into Him through the challenges, doubts, and joys. We also greatly appreciate your prayers for all 9 of us as we journey into this unknown.

There have been a few people who have asked how they can help in regards to the summer. For those of you who live out of state, probably the easiest way would be to help with some of the cost of their airfare, visas, etc. The Lord has been good to provide for us and we can honestly say, we have no needs, but, if you pray about it, and feel led to come alongside us in this way, here is a link to do so:

While they are here or once they return to the orphanage, another way to love on them would be to write letters of encouragement and truth.

For friends and family in Colorado, a more tangible way to help would be to donate items for the kids.

Items we are looking for… (GENTLY USED ITEMS ARE PERFECT)

Summer and winter clothing… boys size 6 through 14 (Sm-XLg), girls size 8 thru 12 (Md-Lg)

Shoes (Not sure on sizes, maybe 13-6)

Backpacks

Small toys that don’t use batteries

Bikes/scooters

Twin sized waterproof mattress pad

Other ways to help:

A (simple) meal while they are here

Lastly, one of our biggest needs is that each of the kids is required to have an eye and dental exam while they are here. If anyone knows of a dentist or optometrist who would be willing to donate or discount these services for the kids that would be amazing!

Thank you for caring about and partnering with us as we seek to love on these orphans. Sola de gloria!
