Derek & Sarah Cressy
Hello! We’re Derek and Sarah. We met in college while studying abroad in Australia and quickly became best friends. After graduation, we married and recently celebrated our 12th anniversary. Our 4 year old son, Thomas, fills our lives with joy and plenty of adventure. As a family, we love spending time outdoors, especially camping, hiking, and exploring the beautiful parks nearby.
**The first $3,000 donated to this project will be matched!**

Baby Cressy
We have always imagined our family being four, possibly five. Even before having our first child, we knew having a biological child might be difficult and had discussed adoption early on. Although we were blessed with our son, the desire to adopt never left our hearts. It would be an incredible honor to be chosen by an expecting family to become an adoptive family.
Ms. Sue
Meet Ms. Sue! A longtime elementary teacher at a Christian school, Sue lost her husband of 53 years in 2022. She’s a proud mom of two and “Grammy” to six teenagers. She enjoys connecting with friends through Bible studies, Bunko, book club, and her mentoring group, and spending time with her dog, Daisy. Our team is excited to serve Sue and show her some love through this Both Hands project!
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.
