John & Erica Ellenberger
John and Erica Ellenberger have been married for 9 years. After struggling with infertility, the LORD led them to build their family through adoption. They were blessed to adopt their daughter Grace in 2022. God recently blessed their family again, as they took placement of their next child, a son! The total cost of the adoption is $25,000.
**The first $2,500 donated to this project will be matched!!**
Baby Boy
After only one month on the active waiting list, John and Erica were matched with the birth mother of their son in June 2024. The healthy boy was born on August 18th, and they have been joyfully caring for him through an at-risk adoption placement since he came home from the hospital. They are eagerly awaiting the culmination of the legal proceedings so they can be a forever family of four.
Ms. Dawn
We were blessed to connect with Ms. Dawn through a mutual friend. She was married to her husband for nearly fifty years before he unexpectedly and suddenly passed away six years ago. She continues to live in the home they loved, and we are excited to serve her through completing some exterior projects on her home.
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 a child to become adopted into a forever family. Will you sponsor us?

Your tax-deductible donation is to the 501(c)3 non-profit organization Both Hands Foundation (EIN 26-1879659). In following IRS guidelines, Both Hands’ governing board retains full discretion over the donation’s use, but intends to honor the donor’s suggestion. Both Hands does not charge an administrative fee and raises its operating support separately. Donors that supply their email will receive a tax receipt upon donation. Those who leave it blank will receive a mailed tax receipt at year end, if the donation is $250 or more.
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.
