Just a brief update to say... we are still waiting! It is HARD, but we absolutely trust God's perfect timing. We love our girl already, but need to persevere in patience and prayer until we know just who she will be. Please continue to uphold us and her in prayer, that we would be ready for each other.
In the meantime... we could use your help! We have several super exciting opportunities to help continue to raise all the pennies needed for our sweet princess!
We have been awarded a matching grant from Lifesong for Orphans! They will match up to $2500, which would give us a total of $5000 when that is met. Anything given beyond that will still go into our Lifesong account for us to use whenever we are in need of the funds. The great thing is- the donation goes to Lifesong, a non-profit 501c3, so your donation will be tax deductible! Please consider giving during this time, and know that your gift will be a double blessing!!
Here are the simple instructions for giving. There are two options:
1. Please make checks payable to Lifesong for Orphans.
**In the memo please note your gift preference with GEURINK FAMILY #4457
Please mail checks to:
Lifesong for Orphans
PO Box 40
Gridley, IL 61744
Lifesong has been blessed with a partner that underwrites all US administrative and fund-raising
costs (TMG Foundation and other partners). That means 100% of your donation will go directly to
the need…helping orphans.
2. Give Online
a) Go to www.lifesongfororphans.org/give/donate
b) Select Give to an Adoptive Family
c) Complete online form and fill in Family Account Number & Family Name Fields
*Please note that PayPal will charge an administrative fee (2.9% + $.30 USD per transaction). Your
donation will be decreased by the amount of this fee.
(In following IRS guidelines, your donation is to the named non-profit organization. This organization retains full discretion over its use, but intends to honor the donor’s suggested use. Individual donations $250 or more and yearly donations totaling $250 or more will receive a tax-deductible receipt. Receipts for donations under $250 will gladly be sent upon request. Lifesong is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.)
Let's see how quickly we can match this grant!
Love,
the Geurink's
