There are ten days until Christmas. Ten days until your kids
come pouring down the stairs a few hours too early in the morning. Ten days
until you sit around the living room with scraps of the frantically torn away
(or meticulously folded) paper, watching and feeling the magic that a day
focused on family and giving and Love brings.
In the next ten days, doubtless you have a list about three miles long of things to do.
Are you overwhelmed?
Do you want to do something tangible, meaningful and
transformative this season... something on top of the hustle and bustle of
every year's energy?
Ten days until Christmas...
You don't have $100 extra to spend that will cover a day in
the hospital for Christopher. You don't have the $600 to cover one day in ICU for
Iris... you may not even have $60 to cover a box of medication for breathing
treatments that our babies seem to need too often this time of year.
But you do have $10, right?
We've done the math and it works out perfectly. If each of
the 1,000 people who view our blog every day donated $10 to our acute care
fund, the "pot" that we reach into whenever the babies get sick, we
would meet our goal.
There is no medical insurance for these orphans in China.
There is only us... and you. Together we will do all it takes, tell the doctors
to do their best and help these precious worthy children have a fighting
chance.
That's way better than $10 worth of holiday-colored
chocolate, isn't it?
Will you give $10 today, on the 10th day before Christmas?
