Lemonade for Adoption

This is Carlie. Carlie is a friend of the family who upon hearing about our adoption decided she wanted to help. So, Carlie went out and set up a lemonade stand. Being a smart business girl, she set up near a country club golf course. At this point she has raised a little over $140.00 and is hoping to raise more.

It is things like this, when you see people who go out of their way to help, who go above and beyond, that truly makes us humble. We are just amazed at what Carlie has done and her lemonade stand has blessed us in many more ways than just the money. Her heart and her efforts are a true inspiration to us all.

Thank you, Carlie.

"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs

the kingdom of heaven.'” Matthew 19:14
