HopeChest and Adoption Fathers are joining together for Mother’s Day to bring hope to orphans!! My crazy readers, you rocked out our last HopeChest fundraiser and I want to ask you to take the time to learn more about this special project that Tom Davis and team are supporting. I just bought my necklace!! It’s created exclusively from my friend JunkPosse, so you know the quality is beautiful and one of a kind. Here is a great close up of the special Mother’s Day necklace. It’s just how we like it girls…

big & chunky! Let’s go a little crazy and end the last week of the fundraiser with a bang… don’t miss out.

LOVES GOES AROUND {GIVEAWAY}

Crazy friends… this is a 2 day giveaway. I will randomly pick a winner on Friday night. All you have to do is leave me a comment and tell me why you want this stunning necklace. You can entry both days! Let’s break records!

“This necklace represents the “Breaking the Chain” of Orphanhood campaign this Mother’s Day. All the Profits from this piece will support Hopechest’s “Young Mothers Program.”

When orphans are released from the orphanage in their early teen years, they enter a critically vulnerable time. In the case of the women supported by this campaign, they find themselves pregnant and alone. Still children themselves, they have nowhere to go. That is where HopeChest comes into the picture, providing direct assistance, training, community building, and intensive counseling and casework. 100% of the moms currently in the program are raising healthy young children and breaking the cycle of orphans producing more orphans.

Children’s Hopechest- Responding to God’s desire to create a world where every orphan knows Him, experiences the blessing of a family, and acquires the skills necessary for independent life.”

Join us this Mothers Day and together we can Break The Chain of sex trafficking and orphanhood. Buy a limited edition Mothers Day necklace and 100% of the proceeds will go towards supporting these amazing programs. HopeChest Fundraiser ends on Friday!

I love jewelry (or shirts, anything wearable!) that helps spread a message. And what an important message this necklace shares!
Ali

I love the necklace, but love the message. After being in Haiti and visiting the orphanges my heart breaks for the children. They just want to be loved, cared for, security and taught they do have a God planned purpose for their life. My heart has been marked forever!!
Jenn

Everytime I go on a date I wear my hopechest tshirt. I think that when I wear it it opens doors to discuss the great path that God has our family on. I know that if I won this necklace I would also use it as a tool to let people know and become aware of the important cuses for orphans. Orphans are in my heart and I love to share about them when ever I can.

I would LOVE to win this! I LOVE to wear ANYTHING that will spur conversation @ the Lord and orphans/orphan care. In fact I don't own a t-shirt that isn't @ one or the other. And, I don't even think I've got a piece of jewelry that isn't @ one or the other.

Blessings!

I would like to win this necklace so I can give it away! I would like to keep the "breaking the chain" going in a circle to keep the awareness going and going!

We have 2 children adopted from the Democratic Republic of Congo and are doing everything we know to do to raise awareness of the plight of orphans in this world.

Thank you!

Angela Amick

I would love to win this necklace so when my friends and acquaintances see me wear it, a door will be open to raise awareness of the awful abuse and exploitation so many orphans are subject to. Our family is planning to adopt and more and more people I meet are asking questions about "why adoption" and eyes and ears are being opened about the needs and how to meet them. This necklace is a wonderful tool for that!
Kristin Banker

I would LOVE to win this CRAZY give-away and sport this FANTASTIC necklace to promote awareness. I have an adoption and orphan care ministry and this is a great conversation starter! I also hold quarterly free adoption & foster care information seminars and what a great way to open the seminar and talk about the necklace and how we can stop exploitation of orphaned children. God bless you, Kari! (Kristin – USA Simply Love)
Cindy C

Very unique necklace!

Thanks for sharing.

I've been eye-ing this necklace for a couple of weeks now! I'd love to win it, just because I love telling those around me about the message behind what I'm wearing. (Like my Simply Love t-shirt!)

Love the video, too!
Nancie-Joy Ogden

Beautiful! Mom is passionate about adoption and the message behind the necklace is powerful and Mom would be blessed and honored to wear it.

Kari-

After being in Haiti with you and visiting the orphanages this necklace has rich meaning…..it is beautiful
http://www.emptyhandsfullhearts.blogspot.com Lori Smith

I would love to wear this necklace because each and every one of the 147+ million orphans matters to God…and it would be a conversation starter to tell others that these children are literally DYING to call them MOM!

Thanks for doing this – you ROCK! My Simply Love t-shirt is a total eye catcher.

This is so beautiful! I loved the video where they were presenting the necklaces to the young mothers in Russia. This necklace is a powerful way to share hope!
Sarah

I would to have this necklace and be able to give it to my biggest fan, my mom. She has supported me in every way imaginable and it breaks my heart that there are people in this world who lack that support and love that I am so lucky to have.

Because of my passions, my mom has recently gotten involved through me and my campaigns, I know she would love to have a necklace to share her testimony of being adopted at the age of 9 and encourage other to act accordingly to James 1:27!
Mandi Rosales

My heart goes out to the young women who are forced into sex trafficking. Would wear this necklace as a reminder to pray for those daily that haven’t been rescued from that life.

Not only the necklace but the purpose behind Hopechest is on to remind all of us that we are orphans waiting to be with our Father. Why not take the chance and find a place in all our hearts to help the orphans who might never know a real family.

Ok ~ Been reading for awhile now again and you still never cease to amaze me. It is great to see/hear you and Roger “live”. Praying for your next adoption (not a funny on April 1st:P) and not that 2 black girls in our little town doesn’t give me enough opportunity ~ I would love to add this little gem to my neck. You rock!

I would love to win this necklace as a reminder of my little boy–still in Ethiopia. This will be the first Mother's Day since he has been in my life.

Oh I LOVE this necklace!!!! This Friday marks TWO YEARS that we have tried to adopt. We switched to international in December and just learned about our beautiful daughter last month. I cannot WAIT to bring her home. I have prayed for her for so long.

I have an ET hairbow giveaway on my blog as well.

i love jewelry and clothing that i can wear that helps spread a message. And this is such an important message to get out!
Jennifer Campbell

I love the idea of getting the adoption message out. There are so many beautiful children, without anyone to love and protect them, we need more families opening their hearts and homes to them.
http://loveliveshereslw.wordpress.com/ Stacy

I would like to win b/c what ever can get someone questioning and me talking about orphans/adoption etc is AWESOME! If someone says "oh pretty necklace, what's it say?" they won't know what hit them with my answer!!
Deena

I LOVE my Junkposse Africa necklace and I love this one too! Thanks for introducing it to me!
http://www.fruitfuljenn.blogspot.com FruitfulJenn

I really do love this necklace and it’s message. I’ve been thinking how sad it is that we even need this message though.
Sue Head

Kari, I love the necklace! What a great idea! So many families with so much love to give open their hearts to children from around the country and around the world. The precious little girl we plucked out of her crib in Russia is now a beautiful, strong, and joyful 13 year old who loves her Auntie Kiki! Such a blessing!

Love, love, love,
Sue Bee

Love the message of the jewelry but in the middle of trying to adopt so I won't be buying anything and my husband isn't allowed to either until we get that waiting child home.
Christi Ucherek

Oh, how I LOVE this necklace! As a 'mommy in waiting' for her babies from ET, I would sport this necklace every day and tell everyone I know what it means!

You have the best give-a-ways! Can't wait to win one! Be blessed!
Sarah

Wow, this is beautiful! I came over from the Poppy Dip blog and I am so glad she sent me here. I wish I could order one of these.

I am passionate about orphans ( a momma to a child that was one) and I would love a necklace like this.

I would love to win!
carrie

I just love it because it will get people asking questions and when people ask questions I can tell them all about adoption and how Christ calls all Christians to care for the fatherless!!!!
