I just saw that we got our first donation to help bring our son home. I know that many people may look at say, "$20 isn't quite $25,000." This may be true, but it is a start. For now that puts us $20 closer to our first goal of $830 for the immigration paperwork and fingerprinting.
For the person who gave, thank you. For those who are thinking of giving, thank you. For those who don't have a clue what I'm talking about read our previous post...oh, and thank you too.
God bless,
John
