Koins 4 Kenzi

I tried this coin drive thing once before with some success...we made a little over $200! I thought I would give it a whirl again, since we're SO close to being fully funded, I think it would be awesome to get over that hump with nothing but spare change! So I set to work....check out my awesome change jar.

Of course I invited other people to collect their spare change for Kenzi too...what happened really surprised me.

FIVE kids are giving up their PIGGY BANK change to help Kenzi come home. My friend's daughter who is also adopted from Russia was the first to volunteer, then my friend's little boy offered to share the change he used to "feed his piggy" to help Kenzi, then my other friend's little girls did this:

three sweet little girls have pooled their money for Kenzi, and vowed not to stop collecting til "the teddy bears tummy is full".

Guys...this has touched me more than ANYTHING in this process so far. I have been humbled and blessed by all the donations we've received, all the acts of selflessness, all the help with fundraisers...I'm so grateful for all of it, but...to see babies raiding their piggy banks for a little girl they don't know...wow. It doesn't take a lot to know that every kid deserves a mommy...these sweet souls GET that, and they're sacrificing EVERYTHING they have without a thought to make sure my little girl gets a mommy. Thank you so, so much...you guys have raised AMAZING children.
