GOD IS GOOD!

BUT WE ALREADY KNEW THAT.

AS OF TONIGHT, A TOTAL OF
$5330 HAS BEEN DONATED!!

WE ARE AT 95% OF THE GOAL AMOUNT NEEDED FOR THIS PROJECT!



I'm so thankful to have been a part of this fundraiser. My favorite part of the whole thing is the realization that when we all work together, great things are possible.

When we were in Ethiopia in January, and again when Nick travelled with Hopechest in September, one of the most amazing things we experienced was the fact that so little of "our" money could make such a big difference in the lives of the people in Ethiopia.

Nick witnessed children being transported to a clinic, examined by a doctor and receiving treatment for life threatening infections for just $7.50. He also discovered that $3 US dollars could feed a person in Ethiopia for 3 days. We of course know what $34 can do when donated through Hopechest-the assurance of consistent meals, an education, Christian discipleship and the hope of a better future for a child in need. These are all pretty insignificant amounts of money for most of us. For the children being sponsored, it is life changing.

If you are interested in sponsoring a child at Trees of Glory, contact Karen Wistrom at kjwistrom@yahoo.com. You can also check out Hopechest's website for many more opportunities to give back at http://www.hopechest.org/.

Of course we welcome anyone who would like to kick in the final $270 needed to complete this fundraiser (2 hours left)!


To everyone who has contributed to this project, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You have been the hope for these very special kids and have truly made a difference in their lives.
