Thunder & Kristina Shahan

March 12, 2022 | Columbia, SC

Thunder and Kristina Shahan have been married for 5 years and have one biological child, Skyler. Their hearts for adoption grew significantly as they watched friends close to them walk the journey beautifully. The desire to grow their family through adoption is something they find hard to put into words and cannot wait to show through their actions. Loving this child unconditionally will be one of their greatest honors! The total cost to bring Baby Shahan home is $55,000.

Family in Need | South Carolina

John & Dorothy have both had a series of serious medical issues the last few years. Dorothy had a stroke and John had toxicity from a medication that he nearly died from. It is taking time for both of them to bounce back. They are now both unable to drive. They also care for their daughter, Hope, who is now suffering from dementia. Because most of their day requires caring for Hope it has been hard to keep up with the tasks around their house. Their home is in need of some tender loving care.

A Different Kind of Fundraiser

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.
