Orphan care is a cause dear to our family's heart, and Noah in particular hurts at the thought of any child being alone or unloved. Our friend Julia Arnold Nalle is doing an incredible fundraiser to sponsor Ukrainian orphans so they can attend a summer camp where they can play, be loved and fed, and hear about Jesus. It only costs $60 to sponsor one orphan, but you can donate any amount - even a dollar or two will make a difference!
Noah and the other children were going to have a cookie and lemonade stand and donate the money to sponsor orphans, but his hospitalization has sadly derailed their plans. Noah thought a good alternative would be to ADOPT all of the orphans but agreed to consider a virtual lemonade stand instead.
Simply go to Julia's blog at http://covenantbuilders.blogspot.com/2014/05/we-can-do-this.html for details on how to donate and for links with more info. All of the photos there were taken during previous camps.
We can't send you a cold glass of lemonade or a warm cookie, but if you comment here or on facebook telling me you gave in honor of Noah, we'll draw a name and send someone the picture he drew of lemonade and a cookie. He's heartbreakingly tired today and the effort of sitting up to draw wore him out, but he insisted on giving sacrificially in his own way. Please consider how you can give.
