Today, Derek and I were reading and talking about orphans and how much money we still had to raise in order to complete Seth's adoption. $10,000 may seem like a lot but not in comparison to the $66,000 we have been blessed with for both Maiah and Seth's adoptions. So, we were talking about ideas and looking at some statistics and we realized how much money is spent on coffee daily in the US. Here are some mind boggling stats....
Today, 38,493 more children will become ORPHANS.....
30,000 children under age 5 will die of STARVATION....
200 million children are living on the STREETS....
Every 2 seconds another child will age out of an orphanage with NO FAMILY
Americans will spend 5.4 million dollars on chewing gum and 50 million dollars on COFFEE
We spend 50 million dollars a day on coffee. I began to wonder if we could get 2000 people/friends/family to pick a day and sacrifice their Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts/Wawa/or maybe your coffee is really a coke or two:) Anyway, we would have nearly 10,000$. So would you consider giving up a coffee/drink (3-5$)to help us complete our adoption. Adoption is an amazing journey/process and we would love for you to be part of it.
