BOTH HANDS FOUNDATION PROJECTBoise IdahoAlbion StreetBoise, ID 83709GEO: 43.5987905, -116.2375044Sat, 7 Nov 2009 8:01 amBen Scott ben.m.scott@gmail.comA small infant living in an orphanage halfway around the world; a widow living in Idaho with her adopted daughter needing a little help on their house; a group of people willing to serve. What could these three things possibly have in common? All three are coming together to play key roles in an exciting fund-raising opportunity taking place on November 7, 2009. This fundraiser will help a widow in need, help us with finances to adopt our sweet overseas infant, and help pay for future adoptions. Please come on out and join us! Both Hands (through its partnership with Lifesong for Orphans) is an organization that is dedicated to comforting widows and helping orphans. Basically, their mission is to organize fundraisers for couples who are adopting using the concept of helping a widow. If you have ever sponsored somebody to participate in a walk-a-thon, a golf event or anything similar, then this will be an easy concept to understand. Instead of golfing or walking, a group of us are going to be spending about 8 hours helping a widow fix up her house. We are asking people to sponsor us as we embark on this noble cause. This is a win/win if we’ve ever seen one! Please also consider making a tax-deductible donation to sponsor our team as we work with our team to better the life of this amazing widow Heidi and her sweet adopted daughter. Before December 1, 2009 and with #946 Adoption written in the memo section please send checks to: LifeSong for Orphans PO Box 40 / 202 N. Ford Street Gridley, IL 61744 You can also make an online donation (please make sure to specify #946 Adoption) by clicking the "Make a Donation" button found at http://www.lifesongfororphans.org/donation.html Please note that in following IRS guidelines, your donation is to the non-profit organization Lifesong for Orphans.

All are considered hard-to-place children. Please visit with us if you can. Look at these beautiful children of Texas and join in prayer for them and all children who don't have a forever family. http://www.heartgallerytexas.com/Attending:
