Braden & Emily Picardi
On June 22, our team will be doing a service project to raise funds for Emily & Braden Picardis’ adoption of 1-2 school-aged children from Colombia. They have completed their approvals and processing with Pennsylvania, the US federal government and immigration agencies, and Lifeline Children’s Services to facilitate this international adoption. They are currently awaiting final confirmation from Colombia to be matched with specific children.
Emily & Braden have been married for 8 years. Emily leads the Special Education team at her school and Braden serves on the IT team for his employer. They’ve hosted international students for several years which led them to this desire to adopt from Latin America.
1-2 Children
We plan to help with this service project so that a widow will get the needed help and 100% of your tax-deductible donations go to the Picardis’ adoption expenses.
Would you help us raise the needed $45,000 to fund the remainder of this adoption process to bring these orphans home to their forever family?
Ms. Margaret
Margaret, a widow since 2005, ministers to missionary kids (MKs), missionaries, widows, and others in the community walking through crisis. Through Mercifully Known Ministries, she demonstrates the love of our Heavenly Father by coming alongside with hope, help and encouragement. Due to water damage, their home and ministry center recently had to be remediated, so Margaret and her family were displaced for almost a year. Now that they’re back home, they need help finishing the remediation clean up as well as planting hundreds of donated flowers and mulching the flower beds, getting the house and property ready to again serve others in 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(s) to become adopted into a forever family. Will you sponsor us?
