This post is about Adoption, community, and family.
Kyle and I are currently trying to raise the last $2000 to finalize Judah's adoption. We thought we had enough money raised until we had an unexpected trip back to Texas thrown into the mix. So with that comes travel expenses with flights and rental cars and legal fees.
We are also blessed, because talking on community and family, we have gained family in Texas and really a community of people came together back in July to find us a place to stay while in Texas, we paid for 0 hotel rooms and we were there for about 5 weeks. We stayed with the same amazing hostess the whole time! Martha and her family are a huge blessing and now a large part of our lives today. We were going to stay at another place back in July, but if fell through because Judah's due date got changed, but God worked it out and we were able to spend time with the first family as well!
Kyle and I are partnering with a friend we met at an adoption group a couple months ago. When you attend these groups many people don't know each other too well, or at all, and they become close by just sharing their stories and being real with each other. I posted something on an adoption facebook group I belong to regarding the remaining expenses needed to finalize our adoption. Within an hour I was talking with Bob regarding my post.
The last few years Bob has ran to raise support for children with life threatening health conditions and for their families through Make A Wish Foundation of ND . It wasn't until recently that Bob started re-directing his efforts. He still runs to help children and families in need, but with orphans in mind. He just happened to come across my post on the adoption facebook page and we started chatting. If you ask me it was certainly a God thing, and God timing.
Bob will be running in the Fargo marathon in a couple weeks, on May 10th and will be running to raise support for Judah! We are asking if you would consider donating $1 per mile. So that would be $26. 20. We have a donate link on our blog on the right hand side, "Donate". It is secure and through paypal, you do not have to have a paypal account to donate. If you are in the area and want to donate directly to Kyle and I please private message us on facebook or texts.
God truly put this together for just this point in our adoption journey. Please consider donating and pray that the rest of our funds roll in.
Share on your facebook page to have people check out the blog and possibly donate if they can.
God Bless,
Kyle, Micale, & Judah
