Posted on 14 January 2010 by Kari Gibson

It’s a Sneak Peek.  Store is open!!

I wanted to say a special welcome to all of Tom Davis’ bloggy friends!  I’m so excited for you to drop by and visit my crazy blog.  You can find posts and videos from top to bottom that celebrates the craziness of love, family, mommyhood, life, and adoption.  Please join us and help celebrate Valentines Day, Ethiopia and a CRAZY amazing HopeChest/Simply Love Project Fundraiser.  You can make a difference simply loving an orphan.  These exclusive Limited Edition T shirts will only be available here January 15th through Feb. 1st.  Get ready- the first 25 people who purchase a HopeChest Valentine Project T shirt will receive a free autographed copy of Tom Davis’ book- Scared. Every shirt comes with a special HopeChest bracelet band.  We have created 2 T shirt styles for you to choose from, but will come in Women’s, Men’s and Youth sizes.

We need to sell 400 T shirts to give 400 new pairs of shoes to orphans!

Here’s what one blog friend shared- “My hubby and I decided that we would skip our annual meal out and purchase two matching HopeChest T Shirts instead. How romantic is that!” Thanks Teri Boosalis!

HopeChest Project Ethiopia – Shirts For Shoes:

  • Providing shoes & shirts for 400 orphans enrolled in HopeChest programs.
  • For every T shirt you buy- HopeChest will provide a new pair of shoes & a new shirt for an orphan.

A word from Tom Davis:

“This Christmas I saw a friend wearing one of the Simply Love shirts that said, “If you are a Christian, then orphans is your thing.” I couldn’t agree more. This Valentines Day, HopeChest and Simply Love are teaming up on a special project to help orphans in Ethiopia. We’re offering a limited edition Simply Love/HopeChest T-Shirt. Every one you purchase as a gift for your loved ones will provide new shoes for one orphan in Ethiopia. There are 400 kids who need new shoes this year.  Make Valentines Day about real love, true love, “simply love.”  Stay tuned to MyCrazyAdoption.com for more details about pre-orders!”

(thanks Lenka for the adorable tags!)

Fundraiser starts Friday – right here at My Crazy Adoption!!  Please pray that God blesses our project to make a real difference in the lives of 400 orphans living in poverty in Ethiopia.  I’m praying specifically for 334 T shirts by Feb. 1st.

We need your help to Simply Love.
