A couple of months ago God placed on our hearts and brought to our attention a little boy from Eastern Europe by the name of Erik. He has no hope because he has no family or home. We know without any doubt that God has called us to make him our son so we are now in the process of adopting him. He will become a part of our family and live with us here in Moore, OK. So far several of our friends have supported us by providing the funds we have needed for the stateside paperwork. We are now at the crucial time of raising around $22,000 needed to complete the process to bring him home. We need to raise these funds within the next 2 months.
We recently heard about a fun fundraiser called a "Puzzle Fundraiser". It sounded neat to us so we are going to give it a try. We have a puzzle that was my dad’s called "In a Matter of Time" and we feel this represents our journey to make Erik a part of our family. As most of you know my dad loved putting puzzles together and this puzzle was one that he loved. It has 1000 pieces. For every $10 donated to the Puzzle Fundraiser we will put 1 piece in the puzzle. We will be posting pictures of the progress every so often. When we have enough donations to finish the puzzle we will have raised $10,000 towards Erik’s Adoption and we will have the finished puzzle posted on our website. Every $10 donation for a puzzle piece will have the name of the person donating written on the back of the puzzle piece. We will keep the puzzle and he will be able to grow up and see all the names of people who donated to put that puzzle together for him and be a part of bringing him to Oklahoma.
There are several ways that you can donate towards our puzzle fundraiser. First of all you can use the chip-in button to make a donation through Paypal. Second, you can send us an email at ddredman@att.net and let us know how many pieces of the puzzle you would like to purchase and I will email you our address if you do not have it. Thank you ahead of time if you are able to help us to make this HUGE step in bringing Erik home! There is a lot that has to happen to have the funds to bring him home and this is something we cannot do alone. If you cannot donate at this time please pray for the process to go smoothly and for the needed funds to be raised in God’s timing. You can also help us by spreading the word about our journey and fundraiser with everyone you know by word of mouth, your blog, email or Facebook. Remember only $10 helps put a piece of the puzzle together. Thanks for your love, prayers and support during this exciting and blessed time in our lives.
We really love & appreciate all of you and we can’t wait for you to meet Erik!!
