David & Tonya Hamby

June 10, 2023 | Bay Saint Louis, MS

David and Tonya married in December of 2016. Tonya brought three daughters into the marriage, with whom David immediately bonded, but the couple was touched early on in their marriage by the desire to adopt a son. After hosting a boy from Ukraine during the holidays of 2021, and having this passion renewed, God has led them to adopt from Colombia. They hope to bring him home late summer or early fall!

"Carlo"

Orphan | Colombia

We are adopting a 13-year-old boy from Colombia, South America. He was abandoned at 5 years old, and has lived in foster care since. He dreams of going to the beach, having a dog, and going to the United States. He loves soccer, spaghetti, and mathematics, and has the most beautiful smile we've ever seen! We can’t wait for him to find out we are coming for him, and to bring him home to Mississippi!

Our adoption costs will total over $55,000, but we only have about $20,000 left to go! God has been faithful and we continue to depend on Him to provide!

Julie

Widow | Mississippi

Brian and Julie were married for 18 years when God called Brian home in January of 2022. He left behind five beautiful children, aged 4 months to 14 years. Julie has always been a stay-home mother, homeschooling for over 10 years. With so much to keep her busy, Julie is in need of some help finishing projects around her home. We are excited to be able to bless this family with the help they need!

A Different Kind of Fundraiser

A team of volunteers is completing a service project of fixing up a widow's home. We are raising sponsorship for our day of service. The funds raised will help an orphan to become adopted into a forever family. Will you sponsor us?

No Administration Fees

We don’t take a penny out of the funds raised for adoption or orphan care projects for ourselves.

We are committed to doing everything we can to help our Both Hands families afford adoption. That’s why we don't take out any administrative fees from donations to our projects. If a donor chooses not to cover the credit card and processing fees, Both Hands will cover it to ensure 100% of the gift supports the cause.

We raise funds for our operations separately through support from donors like you. By supporting Both Hands, you help us serve more adoptive families, bless more widows, and bring even more children into their forever families.
