We're getting close!

We are hopefully just a couple weeks away now from starting our raffle!    I am getting very anxious to get it going !  Also, if anyone is in the Coeur d'Alene area, we are taking formula donations to bring with us to DRC!

What to expect

In the coming weeks I will be throwing a fundraiser where you can enter win some beautiful pieces of artwork.  Every dime used to purchase raffle tickets will go towards one of 3 orphanages in Kinshasa when we go to visit.  Raffle tickets will be able to be purchased either through me or through the non-profit organization "Our Family Adoptions."  All donations on the OFA site for Kinshasa Kids will be tax deductible so not only are you able to buy raffle tickets to win a wonderful piece of artwork that I will ship to you FOR FREE but it's tax deductible too.  It's *practically* like I'm paying you to help the kiddos in Kinshasa :)

Welcome!

Welcome to all my followers!  Most of you will know me personally but to those that don't, here is a brief overview of me and why this blog exists.

1 year ago I barely knew the Democratic Republic of Congo existed.  Now I have a passion for it.  I have an emotional attachment in the form of a daughter from there and  I have had my eyes opened to the situation in Congo and now I can't just close them.  I owe it to the kiddos in the orphanages we will help.  I owe it to my daughter to help her little friends.  I owe it to my son to show him how you don't have to be a superhero to help others.
