Woven Together

Last night our group hosted Mike Kenney, Shannon Deinhart, and Diana Starks from the Waiting Child Fund.  Here are a few bullet points about The Waiting Child Fund that we heard from Mike:

• Waiting Child Fund seeks financial sponsorships for Foster Children in Summit County from businesses and individuals. 
• Waiting Child Fund is not a placing agency, but seeks to fill the financial gap that exists to recruit families for children who might otherwise age out of the foster care system.  Waiting Child Fund collaborates with private placing agencies to recruit families for these children. 
• 100% of the money donated toward a child’s sponsorship is appropriated to the recruitement of his/her family. Waiting Child Fund uses other means to raise funds for their administrative costs. 
• As foster/adoptive families, we can help Waiting Child Fund by raising awareness about the fund and talking about the fund in our networks, by donating to a child’s sponsorship if we feel so led, even by offering prayer support to a specific child/children being sponsored by the fund. 
• For a wealth of more information, to donate, or to order some coffee (that sounds really yummy) and helps Waiting Child Fund defray their administrative costs, visit their website at www.waitingchildfund.org
