Hi All,

I had hesitated posting this here not knowing how it would be received but thought I would go ahead and see if others might have similiar causes they might want to make available for us to donate to.

A few months ago one of our daughters, Debbie, became involved in "Relay for Life" which is in honor of cancer survivors and their families. Monies are collected through various means and given to the American Cancer Society who in turn use it for cancer research and to help other families going through this difficult time. She asked if her Dad and I would want to partake, along with her sisters. The husband of one sister is also a cancer survivor. We all said "yes." This Friday evening through Saturday there will be a camp out at the local high school. On Saturday will be a relay on the track.

A couple of weeks ago the girls held a bake sale and tag sale to raise money. This past weekend they did the same and I was able to be with them. They have sent flyers to the school and received donations from them. I thought I would make it available to anyone who would like to donate from here. We will be raising funds up til the end of August. If you would be interested, please contact us via email or send a message.

Don't feel pressured. Just thought it didn't hurt to ask. Maybe someone else out there has some ideas out there where we can help others. Maybe as a site (Crosslight Ministries) we can adopt a child in another country or something along those lines. Thanks for taking the time to read this and God bless.

Love,
Joan

Hi Stacie,

:lol: Well, now that I've stopped laughing, I can let you know that I will check into a few of those "overseas" adoptions. I know for certain that one way of "adopting" a child is through a ministry in Haiti that we have contact. Billy has gone there (Haiti) and so has our youngest daughter B.J. so we know it is ligit. There are other programs as well out there. Let me know whatcha think.

Love ya,
Joan
