Request for Stewart family adoption

I'm posting a portion of an email I received from Mrs. Candice Stewart concerning her families desire to adopt a group of siblings from Liberia. They have been trying to raise money for the adoption through some fundraisers. If their story touches your heart as it did mine you should visit their website and read more. Please consider helping them with the adoption if you are able.


"Above all, Mrs. Nancy Campbell, editress of Above Rubies Magazine. Now, you may wonder, why are we contacting you? We have been working several different fundraisers in order to raise the $30,000 needed to bring our three Liberian children home. Through consignment sales and garage sales, walk-a-thons and auctions, we hope to raise the funds needed to have them home by April. But we are asking for your help. ... we are asking you to consider donating an item which we could use for a silent auction. We are planning to have this auction online, if we can make the appropriate arrangements, and would love to have it set up in time to benefit those wanting to bid on items to be given as Christmas gifts. Therefore, we would love to receive all items by November 25th, in order to have them ready for the auction by the next week. In addition, all proceeds will go to Children Concerned, our adoption facilitator, and a tax receipt can be issued if desired. We would ask that you might prayerfully consider whether or not you could make a donation at this time. Even if you cannot, would you please commit to praying for us? We will update our prayer needs on the website from time-to-time and you may also sign up for our weekly update by sending an email tobringingthemhome@yahoogroups.com with "subscribe" in the subject line. Also, please feel free to pass this information along to anyone you know who might like to contribute an auction item or who might commit to pray for our family.

All auction items may be sent to us at:
The Stewart Family
12421 Goldsborough Rd.
Midwest City, OK 73130

Though we would prefer to receive items by November 25th, we will continue with auctions for as long as we receive items. Please feel free to go ahead and mail your donation even if you find you have missed the deadline. Thank you so very much for your consideration in this matter!! We are truly blessed to be able to share our lives with so many of you, whom we only know through cyberspace! May the Lord bless you richly, and may we meet someday face to face, as we give glory and honor to Him!

In His Service, Candice Stewart (for the Stewart family)
