Lisa O’Brien

June 1, 2019 | Oswego, IL
Lisa has been on a long journey pursuing adoption of Simon and Solomon. Along the way, Lisa married Patrick Lubulwa and they continued the process to adopt the twins together. In July of 2023 God blessed them with the court order finalizing the adoption in Uganda. However, there is still more work to do on the USA side to finish up all the paperwork for their family. Please consider helping Lisa and her family reach their goal to complete the entire adoption process.

Simon & Solomon

Orphans | Uganda

Years after God placed this desire in Lisa's heart, she was living in Uganda, where she met Simon & Solomon. These twins boys had been abandoned by their parents and the effects were obvious. It didn't take long for them to bond with Lisa, and eventually she took them into her home as a foster parent. Lisa, Simon, & Solomon can't wait to have the adoption finalized and be a Forever Family.

Widow | Oswego, IL

Velma O'Brien is 100 years old and her husband Leon passed way last November, just a few months short of his 101st birthday. She is also Lisa's grandmother! Her son has been trying to help her keep up with the house, but is now 70 years old himself, and it has become more than he can manage alone. We're so excited to serve her!

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