We have been blessed by an enormous outpouring of monetary gifts towards our adoption!! Most of you, if you are reading this blog have probably already invested in our daughter's life by giving toward our expenses. We are sooooo very grateful!
We were also thrilled to receive a letter from Shaohannah's Hope, the foundation started by Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth. Months before, we had filled out their application for a possible grant. As you would expect from any responsible charitable organization, they wanted to know every penny we had in the bank, every penny we owed to anyone, and what we were doing to cover the adoption expenses. We weren't sure if we would receive anything from them, because we felt like our friends and family had already blessed us so much. Well, we were shocked to read that they had awarded us a large grant of $3000.
Shaohannah's Hope recently awarded its 1,000th grant. They have over 150 applications monthly and are able to award grants to only about 40 of those applicants. Their highest grant awarded is $4000. We were truly grateful to receive such a nice gift!
