Let's Help the Saunders Family

Update:  1/31
Go to THIS LINK to enter a blog give-a-way and help the Saunders.  Blog about it on your site for additional entries.  Read the post and enter today!!  :)

Update: 1/25
More than 200 persons/families took the time to write a comment about why the Saunders deserve an EHM.  THANK YOU!!!  
(EHM should be reviewing the application soon so keep praying!!!)

Linn and Dwight Saunders are the amazing parents of 10 (T-E-N) children. They recently brought 2 children home from Uganda and they are awaiting a daughter from China...who will be coming home very soon.

Last week their home burned to the ground and they lost everything. Every. thing.  

Although I do not know them personally, my SIL Amie knows Linn and what a great woman she is and what an amazing family she has.  We would like to do whatever we can to help them during their time of need.

How does this involve you?  Thanks for asking!  ;)
First and foremost, they need a home to live in.  There are a TON of people petitioning ABC's Extreme Home Makeover to help them re-build their home.  Please visit here and leave a comment to show your support. (the people petitioning ABC will be sharing these comments)

If you are so inclined, you could email ABC yourself.  If you happen to have a connection over at EHM, or perhaps you are BFF with Oprah, please give me a shout.

Please visit The Saunders Family blog to get to know more about this amazing family!

This is so incredible heartbreaking! It's a great reminder to hold on to things with an open hand rather than a closed fist.

I hope they get on EHM!

I know God is going to rebuild their lives like they never could have dreamed! He is so good like that!:)

Thanks for the sweet comment, and for your vote!

Kristen, nice to meet you!

You can purchase the sets from my friend Tami - her link is in my post for the give-away.

Or you can email her directly to purchase items too!

I love the new header and blog make-over FYI!

Blessings to your beautiful family!
