Dreaming big to bring Sergey home…

I had the sweet pleasure of being contacted by a super sweet and kind woman named Danielle not too long ago. She so kindly asked if I would like to be a part of a fundraiser that she was organizing to help raise money to bring home her son, Sergey.

Here is cutie patootie pie Sergey:

Of course you know me, I LOVE to help in anyway that I can, especially when it comes to such a sweet and wonderful thing. So many people have shown their generosity, support, compassion and have given donations for lots of things that I have posted on my blog (Cards for Kate, Cards for Kids, MS Walk, Kits for Caylin, etc) and so I want to pay forward the kindness and love shown to me.  I always jump at the chance to help in any way possible and so I told her that I would of course love to be a part of it and offered whatever I could to help her out.

I created this cute little banner for her fundraiser that she has entitled, “Dream Big.” She named it that because a friend of hers said, “Dream BIG Danielle, this is God we’re talkin’ about!  He dreams big for us so let’s dream big together.” How wonderful is that? LOVE that!
I am also donating two predesigned blog templates from Two Happy Mamas Blog Designs.

This was taken straight from Danielle’s blog:
“We believe God is asking us to step out in faith to bring Sergey home, He has a plan so we are trusting in His provision. It’s heartbreaking that it has to cost so much because truth be told these children are living on borrowed time.  If these children are not adopted between the ages of 4 and 5 they will be sent to an adult mental institution where they will be tied to cribs to live out the remainder of their lives.  Which statistically 95% of these children will die in the very first year of being in these institutions mainly due to starvation, as well as trauma from the other adult patients and just plain loss of hope.  I share this with you not to be a downer but to be a voice of hope for these children.  “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves…defend the rights of the needy.”  Proverbs 31:8,9.  And because until last December I was completely ignorant to the fates of these children, so I know for some of you reading this right now it is also the first time you are hearing of this.  Just like you I sat reading a blog about a sweet little boy needing a family and my heart was broken.  I clicked on the link to learn more about these children who were waiting for their forever families and was led to Reece’s Rainbow.  When I visited RR I fell in love with these precious children, which inevitably led us to find our son.  I cannot in good conscience start this fundraiser without first letting you know about this amazing organization and I implore you to please visit their site.  You will not be sorry you did and who knows you just might find your son or daughter waiting for you to:)”

Wow. What great faith she has and I know that God CAN move mountains!

And I want to leave this blog post with a beautiful song I heard the other day that I just love. It’s “Love never fails” by Brandon Heath. I just love him and his music and this song is so true. Love NEVER fails. God bless you and thank you in advance!
