Our kids in India need your help!
In case you missed it, we posted a new fundraiser last week. Christmas is coming in India, but WINTER is already there! With each passing day, the temperatures continue to drop. We have 86 little boys and girls who desperately need blankets and winter clothes to make it through the cold weather. And we need YOUR help to get them all “sponsored” for Christmas!
We are looking for individuals, groups, and families who will help us raise the $7,070 we need to be sure each of the 86 children at our homes in India are cared for this Christmas. Just $85 will sponsor one child for Christmas, and provide them with a warm winter blanket, winter school uniform, and a new winter outfit.
WILL YOU HELP US?
It only takes a little work to make a BIG difference in the life of a child! Check out our blog for all the details, then SHARE IT on Facebook and Twitter! If you’re a blogger, you can easily feature this fundraiser on your blog by adding a link or embedding a donation widget.
But if you’re willing to go a step further, there’s a PRIZE in store! We’re having a little contest this Christmas. Anyone who creates their own fundraiser for this project, will be entered to WIN!

To enter, simply create your own fundraiser by visiting this page, and clicking the “FUNDRAISE” button on the right.
Then, name your page (we suggest “Christmas in India”), choose a goal amount ($850 will sponsor 10 children), and fill out the information (you can post your own stories and photos about why you or your family decided to fundraise for this need, or just copy our page here).*
Next – GET BUSY FUNDRAISING! The person who raises the most money will win the beautiful prize pack above, but the deadline for this fundraiser is December 15th, so you don’t want to delay! Send out the link to your family and friends, and ask them to get involved. If you’re a blogger, then ask your readers to help by donating and reposting this need. If you’re a Mom, get your kids involved by setting up a Hot Chocolate stand in your neighborhood to raise money! There are so many things you could do… host a Bake Sale, giftwrap Christmas presents for donations, or get a group together and go door-to-door Christmas Caroling for donations! There are a lot of ways to make this FUN, while doing something that will make a BIG difference in the lives of our little ones in India.
Will you take the time to focus on the REAL meaning of Christmas this year? Help us give HOPE to children in need, and you truly will help bring JOY to the world!
