Birthday Benefit for Chrissie

Those of you who have been following our adoption story from the beginning might remember that Chrissie Patterson and her family were a big part of God's plan to lead us to adopting a special needs child.

Today would have been Chrissie's 7th birthday and her parents are hosting a virtual benefit in her memory. Village of Hope Guatemala will be opening in Spring of 2013 to give special needs orphans in Guatemala family, faith, and a future. Guatemala is currently closed to international adoption, and special needs orphans are almost never adopted within the country. Village of Hope Guatemala gives these children a chance at life in a family setting, education, medical treatment, the childhood they deserve, and a more secure future.

I know that many families (ours included) are on tight budgets. I have found myself thinking sometimes that the $5 or $10 that I have to give is so little that it won't make a difference. But I am realizing that when all of these small gifts are added together they become something BIG!

Check out Chrissie's benefit and be part of caring for children who are often overlooked. Your small gift will multiply!
