Our family is a beautiful story of God’s weaving hearts together in adoption. I am a single woman with a teaching background that embraced motherhood through adoption. My first daughter was a domestic adoption in 2015 and my second daughter was adopted internationally in 2019 from India. Most recently, we are pursuing a special needs three year old through international adoption. We are so excited to bring her home, but we need your help to complete her adoption. She has some complex medical needs that bring urgency to bringing her home as soon as we are able.

**The first $4,000 donated to this project will be matched!!**

Widow | South Carolina

Lori lost her husband suddenly a little over a year ago. She has six children, two of her children are adopted. She is so blessed to have her community show up to volunteer and help her with the projects around her home and yard that are a constant reminder of her husbands absence for herself and her children.

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.
