Fundraising

Since we've started our journey to bring Wen De home, many of you have offered prayers and encouragement.  Some of you have even asked if you could help by making a gift toward our expenses.  In response to those offers, we've set up a fundraising page with an organization called AdoptTogether.  It's a non-profit organization that allows you to make tax deductible contributions toward a specific family's adoption.  Here is our link:

We chose AdoptTogether for a several reasons.  First of all, donations are tax deductible since AdoptTogether is a 501(c)(3).  It's always nice to get a tax break for your generosity.  Secondly, there is accountability.  Before donations are released to us, we have to provide evidence of the expense through a receipt or other means.  This gives you the assurance that your donation will go toward bringing Wen De home. Third, the processing fees are minimal, mostly to cover the credit card processing costs.  We looked into several crowd funding/fundraising sites and some kept up to 10% of the donation and most are not tax deductible.  Third, the founder of AdoptTogether has a really cool story about his family and how and why he started AdoptTogether.  You can check out his story below.

Thank you for the prayers, encouragement and support you've shown us during this process.  If you feel led to make a donation to our adoption, we sincerely appreciate it.  But if now is not the right time, that's ok.  Please continue to keep Wen De in your prayers as he makes a huge transition in his life.
