Young Ladies Helping Hudson Home

* A month or two ago, some young ladies contacted us about wanting to do a fundraiser to raise funds to help bring our son Hudson home.

* At first they wanted to do a car wash, but that didn't work out.

* So, they decided to do an event in which families could drop off their young children for a few hours while the parents went on a date for several hours.

* These young ladies are incredibly intuitive, innovative, passionate, and caring.

* The event went over very well and 4 families dropped their kids off for a few hours while the parents went on a date event.

* They didn't just 'watch' the younger kids and put them in front of a TV, they taught the younger children. They did crafts with them, help teach them about Jesus & His resurrection. It was a


* I talked with their mom and the mom explained how the girls came up with the idea by themselves and it was from their desire that this idea was born.

* About a week later, we received a note in the mail from them and a cashier's check for $205.17.

* We were completely humbled by this $200+ donation, but even more than the actual $$$ amount, was the heart that these young ladies put into the event to help us get our son home.

* These young ladies used their God-given creativity to give of their time and expertise (teaching and training younger children) to help us raise funds to complete our adoption.

* To everyone involved, in this both in the young ladies who ran the event, the parents who helped them, and the parents who dropped their kids off...THANK YOU!!!!
