A Bed for The Twins

I have wanted to write this post (and others) for a while now…but my laptop has been a little bit under the weather.

I finally got my husband to take off this t-shirt that his mother in law bought him and help me out!

I first posted here about an amazing opportunity that God has given us to help a set of twins in Kenya, Africa. I wanted to first give an update…that I did make enough money at the consignment sale mentioned in the earlier post to support the twins for a full YEAR. However, I did spend some of the money I made on clothing for my own children, so I have only sent 6 months of support to Orbit so far.

I was then given an incredible opportunity to partner with a church and provide a mattress and a blanket for the twins for only $30. Amazing!

In America…..$30 buys…..

-a medium sized new toy

-a game for a gaming system

-an American Girl Doll Outfit…with shoes if your lucky.

-a halloween costume

-a Starbucks coffee drink for 4 days.

-a steak dinner for 1

With that same $30 God was able to supply this need……

and these precious children were taken off of a cement floor….and given a soft place to go to sleep.

I write this post….to simply raise awareness, not to shine any light whatsoever on me.  So what could you do?  Click here to see the many ways this village can use YOUR help.
