The Winks Ethiopian Wish

I am so excited, I just ordered our fundraising puzzle! For each person that donates towards our adoption we will put your name on the back of one of the puzzle pieces. As the pieces go together it will form the jigsaw puzzle (shown to the right) that we will hang in Baby E's room when she get's here. The puzzle represents all of the people that loved her before she was even here. A representation of all of those who helped bring our missing piece to our puzzle home.

As an added bonus, I ordered two of the puzzles... This mean we will use one of the pieces to put the puzzle together, and give you the same piece of the second puzzle with a magnet attached. You can hang the piece on your refrigerator as a constant reminder to keep us in your prayers along our journey, and as a thank you for all of your love and support. 

We already have a couple of donations, I am so very thankful. Dave and I have been so nervous about asking for help, but I truly do feel the love and support from everyone that we talk to. We love all of our friends and family so very much, and we could not do this without you. I know that when God lead us to adopt that He would see us through all of the obstacles and so far that has been true. God is good all the time!

If you are interested in donating, here is the information for our Lifesong for Orphans account: 

Please make checks payable to “Lifesong for Orphans”. In the memo, note “4579/Wink” to ensure funds go to the correct account. Please mail to Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744. Lifesong has been blessed with a partner that underwrites all U.S. administrative and fund-raising costs . That means 100% of your donation will go directly to our adoption. 

Another option is to give online. Go to www.lifesongfororphans.org/give/donate. Select “Give to an Adoptive Family.” Complete the online form and our account number is “4579” and the family name is “Wink”. Please note that PayPal will charge an administrative fee for credit card processing (2.9% + $0.30 USD per transaction). Your donation will be decreased by the amount of this fee.
