Circle the wagons

We have friends, the McKnight family, that are in the process of adopting a little girl from Lesotho. If you already know them, then you know how fantastic they are. If not, then let me tell you a bit about them. Troy is a pastor of a church, his wife Teresa is currently a stay at home mom to two children, as well as doing lots in their church. We met this family in Swaziland when we adopted B.man. They were adopting their daughter at the same time. (see her squished in there!) Troy and Teresa were an amazing support to us in Swaziland. We adore this family.

In their current adoption, their new daughter has needed to go into private, medical care, due to her fragile health. They are having to pay a monthly fee for this care that they had not foreseen in their adoption budget. Due to the delays we are all experiencing in Lesotho, they have been having to pay this for many months more than anticipated.

Meet Billie! Isn’t she cute?

We know first hand how hard adoption is financially, and so we want to ‘circle the wagons’ around this family a bit. I am putting on an online silent auction, and I am wondering if you have any items that you would consider donating. If you have art, crafts, online coupons, etc. please let me know. Whatever you might have needs to be able to be shipped. If you have something to donate, I need a photo, brief description, a dollar value and and the willingness to ship it to the buyer. We are hoping to start the auction in about 1 week, so time is of the essence!

Thanks for your time in considering this, and I will keep you posted! Also, do not hesitate to ask me any questions about this.

Thanks,

Tova
