**Our Goal is to raise $36,000 to cover heightened fees due to the current unrest in the county.  We also want to cover unexpected expenses and initial medical expenses upon arrival.  Each girl will need dental work and eye care along with therapy; there is also a possibility that they will need hospitalized upon arrival because of conditions in the institution.**

We have already paid $6,031.00.  We have contributed $1000.00 to an $11,000.00 grant that is being held in the girls' name.

That leaves our need at $18,969.00.  

So far we have raised....$127.07.

Matthew 6:25-27  “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?  Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?  Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
