1. I am trying to fundraise for Andrielis’ Education. This is perfect for World Health Day tmrw as she is trying to become a nurse, and part of the program involves her volunteering in a clinic and learning about different diseases! http://andrielis.blogspot.com/
2. I am raising funds for girls aged out of the orphanages in Latvia ages 17-20. These girls are put into the street with few to no belongings, no life skills, and no family or support system. Many girls end up going into prostitution by force. http://roadtolatvia.blogspot.com/2011/04/hope-for-girls-giveaway.html

5. Young Couple Creatively Fundraise to Bring Home Their Son from Ethiopia
   LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL (April 8, 2011)-Gerrid and Jessica Smith of Lakewood Ranch, Florida have just launched a website http://BabyEsFamilyTree.com in an effort to help raise funds to bring home their adopted son Elijah from Ethiopia. The website has a picture of a large tree that is comprised of 1,000 small squares. For just $10, an individual can upload their picture to become part of Elijah’s, otherwise known as “Baby E’s”, family tree!The Smith’s are asking individuals and businesses to purchase space on their website to raise the remaining $10,000.00 needed to complete their adoption.
   “I love the African proverb that says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” And while this is true we believe it also takes a village to bring a child home…especially when it comes to adoption!”- Jessica Smith
   
   

6. My husband and I are moving to Kitale, Kenya by the end of the end of the summer with our 3 children ages 6,4 and 5 months.  We are joining a ministry called Mattaw Childrens Village that rescues, restores and redeems orphaned and abandoned children. www.mattawchildren.com
   My husband and I have been traveling to Kenya since 2002 when we were dating. To make a long story short, here we are today, pursuing a life in full time missions in Kenya.  I am spearheading the buidling of Mattaw’s addition of “Sprouts” baby home for preemies to age 2. We are hitting the pavement for fundraising for this baby home as well as our personal support for our family.

We have new “Pick Your Country” products for your adoption fundraisers and mission projects available.  I have been asked many times to run in marathons or mini runs to help raise funds for adoptions, and I decided it was finally time to help.  I’m not going to start training, but I want to offer you Simply Love running shirts for your teams.  I will cheer you from the sidelines!!  You can order Men, Women, and Youth Dri-Fit Wicking shirts with [my recommendation Design B] Simply Love on the front and the country of your pick on the back.  You can pick any design and pick your team and pick your marathon… it’s all up to you.

We also have 2 new hats available for Men & Women with a simple, bold statement. [Destroyed Military Hats] The hats will be available to my crazy blog readers when I return from Africa.  Pre-order today!!  Colors – Woodland, Stone

If you are interested in using any of my 4 Simply Love T shirt designs and new products for your adoptions or mission projects, please email me to receive the “Pick Your Country” Introduction packet.  Once you decide to move forward with your fundraiser, you can purchase the package on my blog and start raising your funds!!
