Getting Involved

I leave for Uganda in 34 days! 

I'll be staying for the whole summer serving with 3 different organizations that work with orphans/children-at-risk in the capital city of Kampala. I do still need to rise a good amount of money before I leave. If you would, please prayerfully consider donating, I can guarantee you will not regret it! It will not only be a blessing to the people of Uganda and me, you will also be blessed through it! Your support will play a part in sending me to be the hands and feet of Jesus to the children of Uganda! 

Here are the things you would be providing for through your donation:

• Building a playground for special needs children! 

• Showing God's love and providing food to children who live on the streets!

• Taking care of abandoned babies who need love and attention!

• And loving on orphans of all ages!

Would you like to make an eternal difference in the lives of beautiful children just like these?

Than, please consider donating! 

No amount is too small!

There are currently 3 ways to give:

1).  Make a donation of any amount, 

on my online fundraiser:

    3).  Send items for me to bring to Uganda to give to the organizations I will be working with. (Items like baby blankets, clothing, shoes, craft supplies, small toys for children). Please email me if you are interested in sending me anything and I will send you an updated list of supplies they need. 



                               Thank you so much!! 

(An awesome video from last year with my team from YWAM Madison. This is a great example of what it looks like to give to children in need! The joy on their faces is priceless!)

Help Bring a Child Home

Mandie and her family are bringing home another little one soon (this will be their 3rd adoption from China), and they need help with some of the fundraising. One of the ways you can help is to participate in a followers giveaway they just started. You will find all the details here at their blog.
