There are 5,000,000 orphans in Ethiopia where we have been approved for adoption. The odds are stacked against each of them. 3 out of 10 children in Ethiopia do not live past their 1st birthday. 8 out of 10 use the same streams from which they drink as a bath and toilet. The average annual household income is less than $330. Many of these orphans not adopted through agencies are forced onto the streets or kidnapped into sex and child trafficking as young teens and smuggled throughout the African continent.
There is such a great need.
This year, I will be running the Papa John’s 10 Miler Race in Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday, March 26. I am taking pledges for each mile of the ten mile race. For example:
- A pledge of $2.50/mile would equal a gift of $25.00
- A pledge of $5.00/mile would equal a gift of $50.00
- A pledge of $10.00/mile would equal a gift of $100.00
Pledges can be made in any amount. If you would be interested and able in helping us bring our daughter home to a life of hope, please consider joining us on this journey. Thanks for partnering with us on this journey as I Run For Our African Princess on Saturday, March 26!
Sincerely,
April
