Your friendship is appreciated, and we would like you to pray and consider helping us in one or two ways with our adoption.
1. Please pray God would tenderly care for our son in Africa
until we are able to bring him home; that God would prepare Maria for the
upcoming changes to our family; and that God will give us wisdom, discernment, and
insight as we raise our son to know Jesus.
2. Our church family at We Care for Orphans has partnered
with Lifesong for Orphans and committed an Adoption Matching Grant of $3000 to
help pay our adoption expenses. Will you please consider making a
tax-deductible donation to help us meet this matching grant and cover the
remaining adoption expenses to bring our son home? Our goal date is September 10th, but funds
will be accepted towards our adoption until our child is in our home and/or our
adoption is complete.
- o Checks should be payable to “Lifesong for Orphans. In the memo, note “family name” and “family account number” (Giugliano / #5314) to assure it goes to the correct account. Please mail to Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744. Lifesong has been blessed with a partner that underwrites all U.S. administrative and fundraising costs (TMG Foundation and other partners). That means 100% of your donation will go directly to the adoption.
- o To pay online go to http://www.lifesongfororphans.org/give/donate Select “Give to an Adoptive Family.” Complete the online form and fill in “Family Account Number” and “Family Name” fields. Note PayPal charges an administrative fee (2.9% + $.30 USD per transaction). Your donation will be decreased by the amount of this fee.
- o NOTE: In following IRS guidelines, your donation is to the named non-profit organization. This organization retains full discretion over its use, but intends to honor the donor’s suggested use.
- o Individual donations $50 or more and yearly donations totaling $250 or more will receive a tax-deductible receipt. Receipts for donations under $50 will gladly be sent upon request. Lifesong is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.
Thank you for investing in the Kingdom through prayer and finances—it will be an investment with an eternal return! Thank you for becoming part of our son’s beautiful adoption story! Please pray this entire process will glorify God and fulfill His purposes!
