Y’all know how near and dear these children are to my heart.
I’ve held them. I’ve looked into their eyes. Their faces are seared into my memory.
I’ve prayed fervently for them.
I’m heartbroken to know that they hungry today. With the exit letter suspension, fewer families are traveling and fewer donations are getting to the orphanage. I’ve been told that there are only a few days of food left at this orphanage.
My heart can’t take it. These precious ones need so many things…but, right now, they desperately need a meal to fill their empty, rumbling tummies.
And, I know that we CAN do something. We can make a difference. We can send tangible LOVE. Food equals love to these precious children.
A group of mommas have decided to step out and help these little ones. We are brainstorming and working on ways for long-term sustainable care solutions {read more HERE}. In the meantime, we are committed to sending food now.
My dear, dear friend {and servant of Christ in the truest sense}, Dr. Laure, has offered to purchase food and cook meals. I know exactly where the money will go. Directly to these little ones.
This is where you come in. I have some amazingly, gorgeous Noonday Collection items to raffle off this week. Think: Christmas gifts {for someone else or just for yourself:)}!
Here’s how this will work:
For every $10 donation, you will be entered to win the entire collection pictured below!! {$10 = one entry, $20 = two entries, etc}.
Simply, donate through the Paypal button at the bottom of the page to enter to win! This raffle will end, Thursday, October 31st at midnight.
For $10, you have a chance to win nearly $200 worth of gorgeous brand new Noonday collection fall pieces!!
1. Tasseled Ladder necklace – made in Ethiopia {this is such a unique necklace!}
2. Tasseled Bullet Bracelets {set of 3} – made in Ethiopia {these are so fun and will go with everything!}
I know. There is so much need everywhere.
I know how overwhelming it all can feel if you look at the big picture of the needs in this world. Instead of feeling like you can’t do anything to help, know full well that you can. With this $10 – you will feed 133 precious, precious innocent children this next month AND you will support Noonday artisans around the world. That is simply incredible in my book, friends.
Donated but forgot to leave a note.
thank you so much, Amy!!!
so awesome you are doing this and giving others a tangible way to help!
Thank you, Kelli! This has been such an incredible fundraiser…what started as a group of moms finding out about an urgent need has become a way for God to move in a mighty way for these children!!
