An Easy Way You Can Help Us Help Kids

I went to the Family Dollar and Wal-mart today to gather almost 40 baby bottles. Why would one person with one 10 month old child need 40 baby bottles you ask? Simple… we are asking our friends and family to each take a bottle (or 2, or 5) and fill them with spare change to benefit African orphans. Each bottle is supposed to average about $20 when filled. My goal is to get 50 filled, so we need your help! Will you put one your desk and ask co-workers to put their change from lunch or the coke machine in it? Or maybe you can leave a couple on your kitchen counter and get your kids to see who can fill theirs first as a fun little competition. Or you could even keep one in your glove box to put your change in from Starbucks, the gas station, or McDonald’s.

Willing to help? Please let me know and I will bring you however many of the bottles that you want. Anything you give will go towards our efforts to help these sweet African babies. We pray you will help us, and we thank you SO much!!!!!
