Giving.

I am so excited and thankful for all the purchases of With an Open Heart. Those purchases have allowed us to do a little bit of giving so far this year, and I truly love this part!!

We donated to the Run for the Little Flowers, an event organized by Katie Murphy each year to benefit the Little Flower Projects. Their special body of work includes hospice care for orphans, special medical care for infants, and long-term medical care for severely disabled children.

We donated to Harmony Outreach to help a little girl named Kirsten get her life-saving surgery to fix her broken heart.

We donated to a fantastic and worthy organization called Love Without Boundaries to help support one of their Healing Homes. I recently learned that LWB only keeps under 2% of their donations for administration. The rest goes directly to the kiddos. Gotta love them for that.

And most recently, we donated to A Childs Hope International by purchasing meals for The Orphan's Table on Orphan Sunday. This organizations provides food packets, free of charge, to orphans around the world, and our donations help cover the cost to ship them. They run 100% by donation only! You too can participate by purchasing these packets, and on Orphan Sunday (November 3rd), you can gather with family/friends for prayer and discussion and share a meal eaten by orphans around the world. See the links above for more information. I purchased 15 meals to give out at my upcoming book signing. Recipients to be chosen by the Holy Spirit!

We have also given more than a few books away to the adoption community for fundraising purposes for use in giveaways and silent auctions. I love doing this because it gives us the ability to share Daniel's story AND support a good cause...definitely a win-win!

Our giving will continue, but I just wanted to give y'all an update on what's been happening so far! We are so humbled and grateful beyond measure, friends, to be able to give back in Daniel's memory.

Hopefully, our baby boy's angel wings will continue to spread far and wide. Thank you so much for your support. All Glory to God!
