Our First Fundraiser!!!

We are so excited to announce our first official fundraiser in our adoption process! We are partnering with a Christian non-profit organization called "The Apparent Project:. The Apparent Project seeks to help and empower women in extreme poverty in Haiti care for and provide for their children! We will be selling bracelets made by women in Haiti. A specific portion of each bracelet goes directly to the Apparent project and the women in their artisan program. The remaining portion of the cost of the bracelet goes directly to our adoption. We are thrilled with the chance to partner and help women keep their children, thus preventing more orphaned children, while at the same time bring home 2 orphans into our family! We believe this fundraiser is a chance for our friends and family (and yours) to care for orphans and widows in 2 vital and equally important ways!

Attached to every bracelet is a picture and a short biography of the very woman who made your bracelet! We really hope that you will use this opportunity to put your money toward something that has such a life changing impact for these mothers and for our two children we are working to bring into our family! We also believe this is a great opportunity for families to give their children chances to get behind something that is meaningful and lasting. Each person who buys a bracelet will have a picture and profile of the woman who made it. Families can pray for that woman, and pray for our children in Ethiopia every time they wear their bracelet!

Part of the mission of the Apparent Project:

"This is why we are called the "Apparent Project". We are trying to help mothers and fathers in poverty be A PARENT to their children. We are educating and taking care of street kids who don't have A PARENT. We are using media and the arts to make the needs of Haiti APPARENT to those who can help, and we are doing this all with the hope that the love of God will be made more APPARENT to those we humbly serve and that He will be known as A PARENT to the parentless."

You can buy these from us in person or we will ship them to you. We are selling each bracelet for $9.00. We will ship any size order for an extra $3.00. You can email me at amandaborgelt@yahoo.com to place an order or if you are local call or ask me in person! 

Please pass on a link to this page to anyone you think might be interested! Share it on Facebook or through email with your friends and family! Also, if you think that you could sell some to your friends and family or at your place of work feel free to ask for some and we will pass them on to you to sell for us! If you would like to host a bracelet party at your house with your family and friends for us we would be thrilled to bring along bracelets!
