Asking for a favor...

I am asking all of our blog friends to post links to our fundraiser on your blog. First of all this will help us raise the money we need to bring our host kids and Second it will get the word out about the hosting program (*Please make sure that you do not mention this as an adoption program - just a hosting program for Russian and Latvian orphans). You may be the person that helps our host kids come this winter and you might even find a host family for another child!

The fees to host siblings are: $2050 per child. This money pays for the kids travel expenses (flights, train to Moscow, passport, visa....). Because we are hosting 3 kids, our total fees are: $6150! We have already raised $4100, so are very close to meeting our goal of bringing the 3 kids into our home for Christmas... we only need $2050. Please help us with this goal by posting a link on your blog/website. You could also send out an email to your friends and family.
Because our hosting agency, New Horizons for Children is a non-profit, all donations are tax deductible.

This is the link to our fundraiser page:
This site was temporarily down, but it IS back up now! Please help us bring these children into our home this Christmas. Any donation amount will help - no amount is too small. These kids have never been in a healthy family - they deserve to feel love for the first time in their lives. We are so close to having the amount of money to pay for their travel - if we do not meet that amount - the kids will not be able to come for Christmas. The money that we have already raised will then roll over to the Summer hosing program and we will just have to pray that we can raise the money before summer. But I do not want to even think about having to wait to bring the kids... lets raise the money NOW! Pray for us! http://www.active.com/donate/orphans2008/trawickfamily
