We have some exciting news to share with you...

At the last minute Randy and I were able to answer the call to bring two orphans to America to stay with us for the Holidays! Their original host family had a family emergency and an email went out on Friday that they needed a family to commit to taking them....by Friday.

Randy and I are thrilled and blessed with this opportunity!

 

The original family provided a significant portion of the money needed to pay for travel, insurance, visas, etc, however Randy and I need to come up with about $3000 in the next 13                     days. We are asking that anyone that feels moved to bless these two girls with a donation this holiday season to prayerfully consider visiting our website and donate what you can....

 They will be arriving with very little other than the clothes they are wearing. We will need to get them clothes, toiletries, Christmas presents, and whatever they need for day to day living here in America. We will have the girls for about a month. We are also required to get them dental and vision treatment. Two dear friends have already volunteered their dental and vision expertise and services!

 

Valentina (Valya - 12) and Roksolana (15) are considered "true orphans" as their parents and grandparents are deceased.  They have been in the orphanage for 1 year and are still very much hurting over the loss of their parents.  They hope someday that a good family will find them.  Both girls are very sweet and like to sing and play guitar.  Some day Roksolana would like to be a banker and Valya hopes to be a hairdresser.  They also enjoying coloring, drawing, crafting and sewing. 

 

We are so excited for their arrival and look forward to the blessing this will be to our family! Thank you for your support!!

 

 

With grateful hearts,

Randy and Deanna Gehrke
