Josh & Erin Emington

October 19, 2025 | Odessa, FL

We were married in Jamaica in 2012 and have been traveling and building our careers in the years since. Early in our relationship, we shared a common dream and goal to become parents. Our hope is to expand our family through both adopted and biological children. Becoming loving and involved parents has always been our dream, and we cannot wait to welcome a child into our hearts through adoption.

**The first $4,000 donated to this project will be matched by Both Hands, and an additional $6,000 will be matched by Lifesong for Orphans!!**

Volunteering for project day? Be sure to sign your volunteer waiver here ahead of time so we can get straight to serving on the big day!

We have just completed our home study and are moving into the matching phase. We plan to do a Both Hands project with a group of friends to serve a widow and help fund our adoption. Thank you for your support!

Margaret

Widow | Florida

Margaret is in her 80s and lost her husband of 71 years one year ago to prostate cancer. Her husband was very helpful and handy around the house. A lifelong student, Margaret explores all kinds of new subjects on her favorite online program, MasterClass. She attends Gulf Shores Baptist Church in Dunedin and loves to serve the Lord. Margaret is an adoptive mother to foster children, so we're excited to serve her for the day!

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?

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.
