A good cause

Kreuer Fundraiser

I "met" Carrier Kreuer online back in 2007, when we were both a part of our adoption agency's Yahoo group for waiting child adoptions. Carrie traveled to China to meet her daughter MJ, who was 7 years old, just a few weeks after we left China with Z. Sadly, MJ died in an accidental fall in October of last year. A healthier child may have been able to survive MJ's injuries, but her body had been weakened by the malnutrition she suffered in China, and she was unable to recover. It was a true tragedy.

The Kreuer family had already started the process of adopting little Anna Grace, age 2, at the time of MJ's accident. The medical and funeral expenses they incurred have made completing their adoption of Anna Grace financially difficult. If you have $10 to spare, hop on over to the fundraiser my dear friend Hayley has organized for them. There are even some sweet prizes for the winners of a raffle, and an auction of some other fantastic items that you can bid on. I promise, you won't find a better cause than this!
