One of my greatest experiences of the last year has been meeting the Young Family. About a year ago we decided to finally sign the girls up for piano lessons. I did some research and posted on our local Mom's Facebook group. It was there that I found Mrs. Young who offers lessons right in her own home.
After just a couple of lessons not only did the girls love learning the piano, I loved being around the Young's. They are a wonderful young family with a five-year-old daughter and an almost two-year-old son. Their daughter, whom they call Trixie on their blog is the funniest, most articulate, precise young lady I have ever met. During the lessons where Trixie was nearby she kept me in stitches with her stories and details of her day.
Their son Little Critter, was usually napping when we were around but when I did see him I was in awe of him as well. They are just a beautiful family. And I feel blessed to know them.
Earlier this year the Young's began the process of adopting a special needs baby from overseas. What a calling they have been given and accepted. They have been doing a lot of fundraising because adoption isn't cheap and their community has rallied around them. It's easy to give to a family that always seems to be smiling, who does God's work every day of their lives, and who are truly good people, but when they are offering a chance for you to give and possibly win something in the process it's even better.In order to bring "Miles" home, the Young's have partnered with Reece's Rainbow, an adoption ministry for children with Downs Syndrome and an anonymous donor generously donated an iPad 3 for them to giveaway!
All you have to do is visit their blog post, and follow the directions to enter! Any donation made through Reece's Rainbow is tax deductible and depending on the amount it will count as one or more entries to win the iPad 3! If you can't donate at this time, then please help by sharing their story on Facebook, Twitter, or a blog post of your own.
"Miles" is a lucky little boy, and he is almost home to his forever family. Any amount that any one can offer will bring him here that much sooner so he can see how wonderful this family is and feel their love as everyone else around them already has.
Oh yeah, the giveaway ends Saturday, September 15.
