Dear friends of mine, Doug & Cara Layne, are embarking on their 3rd adoption journey to bring home 2 kiddos: one teenage boy that has been in their hearts and lives for several years and a toddler with Downs Syndrome whom they've never met or even know his or her name. Their hearts are huge but anyone who understands international adoption knows that this costs money, money, MONEY!!
In their quest to raise funds though, they've found a way to reach out and help yet another family through the "Both Hands" fundraiser - One for the widow, One for the orphan. Much like a walk-a-thon, they're seeking sponsors but rather than walking, they'll be working with a team to do volunteer work on a widow's home. What a fantastic idea!! :)
Here's a link to their blog post that gives all the details: http://laynejourney.blogspot.com/2011/05/both-hands-one-for-widow-one-for-orphan.html
Will you please consider taking part in this? You hear it all the time but every little bit really does add up (and it's tax deductible)! I believe in this couple and their hearts for these kids. I also know firsthand the challenges of raising an internationally adopted child while also having the financial strain of it dangling in your mind. How awesome would it be for them to be able to have so much support that the up-front finances aren't even a worry!! Please consider supporting them. :)
