This post is NOT about debating causes or giving you my opinion on making KONY famous, but simply … how do you pick a cause?

Honestly, I didn’t spend any time, or effort, or money supporting causes until I heard about World Vision 13 years ago. Their cause is simple- Sponsor a child. I was intrigued that you could sponsor a child and support their education. As a teacher, that was a home run with my heart. It was exciting when my kids, Michael and Hannah received their first letters from our sponsors. Both children were from India and their photos brought them into our homes and on our refrigerators.

Protect and Love the Fatherless.  We had a contest and this was the winning artwork (way to go Amber Maack!)  The first 20 people who purchase $50 of products or more will receive a FREE hand made Uganda Magazine Bead necklace -my gift to you!

The tees are printed on high quality Next Level brand- color: olive with black ink.  Shirts are cut slightly fitted “athletic style” I suggest ordering up one size for exception fit if you want roomier tee.

Why Man Up?

What an amazing gift for your dad, hubby, and sons (women too) to Man Up for orphans all over the world.  I challenge you to pass on the message of loving, caring, blessing, visiting, hugging, playing and ministering to the fatherless.  My hubby came up with our logo two years ago and it spread like crazy!  It’s something we can all do- we are ALL called to protect and love orphans.  If you are interested in joining us on a Visiting Orphans mission trip- click here to learn more.

 

I’m so excited to launch my NEW Simply Love Man Up shirts!!!  The shirts are crazy army inspired with new, grungy font and will help men advocate for orphans all over the world!!  I have received so many photos of men sporting their Africa Man Up shirts.  Now I have a shirt that every man can wear as a bold statement for protecting and loving the fatherless, regardless of the country.  This design is exclusive to my crazy adoption blog, so join me on my two week MAN UP BLITZ and help spread the word.  100% of proceeds will go toward orphan care and donations for my upcoming mission trips with Visiting Orphans.

Please email me a photo of your man wearing his Simply Love Man Up shirt OR ANY photo of him on a mission trip, adoption gotcha day, or with his family, for a special video project I’m creating. [Man Up Project] in subject line.

The new Man Up are printed on Army heathered grey *ultra soft* V neck shirts.
