Gabriel’s Update

Posted by Kate on October 31, 2009

After an incredible outpouring of support, I have now reached $7,745 for Gabriel’s Heart Project, with more on the way!  Hallelujah!  Friends on the ground in the D.R.Congo are working to help them get passports quickly so that we can begin to make travel arrangements to Chennai.  It has been such a blessing to see the sacrifices people are willing to make for the life of one precious child.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking a stand with me to make a statement that LIFE IS PRECIOUS and that everyone deserves a chance to reach his or her full potential no matter where he or she is born.  Helping one person may seem insignificant, but it will be sure to have a ripple effect on Gabriel’s family and their surrounding community in realizing the willingness of people across the globe to join together and forever intertwine our lives with theirs.

On November 20th I will be having a fundraiser to finish closing the gap with my goal.  Information below.  Thank you for being a part of the journey!
