Help Olga!

One year ago today, our blog friends the McConnells went to court to legally make Mary part of their family.

Recently, they began a fundraiser for a little girl named Olga (like our fundraiser for Vera). To commemorate one year since court, they are matching all donations made to Olga's fundraiser today. Hop on over to their blog by clicking HERE.

Vera and Mary

This is Mary - a spunky, beautiful, energetic, and very determined 6-year-old, with a smile that will light up a room. Isn't she adorable?!?!

Like William, Mary was born in Ukraine. And like William, she came to America and into the home of her forever family at the age of 5. If you've never taken the time to visit this blog, you've missed out on the awesome story of Mary.

Well I love, love, LOVE this post that Michelle wrote about Vera and Mary. (Michelle is one of my favorite blog friends, and I hope that one of these days our families will finally get to meet in person!) Mary's diagnosis was very similar to Vera's, and her progress since being home is amazing.

I am confident that there are families out there right now who are seriously considering bringing Vera into their family. We are praying fervently for those families.

Just look at Mary: her potential, her progress, and her precious smile. She's a testimony to what love can do! The same is true for Vera.
