Hi Family and Friends!
A few people have very generously asked us how they can help financially with our adoption. So, here's how:
1 - Make a Tax-Deductible Donation to our Church's Adoption Ministry!
Write a check to Mount Vernon Foursquare Fellowship and write Cornerstone Ministry - Adoptions in the memo line. Mail it to: Mount Vernon Foursquare Fellowship, 5200 Eisenhower Avenue, Suite 200, Alexandria, VA 22304.
2 - Visit our GoFundMe Fundraising Site!
Click on the following link http://www.gofundme.com/euemo and click the Donate button! You will be able to make a donation using your credit or debit card. I've done my research, folks - this service is safe, free, and easy. A friend of mine is also using GoFundMe to raise money for her severely-disabled newborn, so I know it's 100 percent legit.
3 - Mail us a Check Directly!
If you want to ensure that Mel and I receive the money directly, feel free to mail us a check at our home address: Ian & Melanie Elliott, 300 Yoakum Parkway, #725, Alexandria, VA 22304. Write Adoption in the memo line.
4 - Buy Your Coffee from our Coffee Fundraiser
Every little bit helps, and we get a portion from each purchase. https://justlovecoffee.com/about/beneficiary/ElliottAdoption/
As we mentioned before, a standard international adoption can run up to $30,000, including the home study, adoption agency fees, travel to the birth country, lodging, legal fees, and more. It sounds like a lot of money, but I fully believe that if 100-200 people give half a dozen donations of $30 or more, it would be largely covered!
Thanks everyone in advance for your generosity! The smallest donation will really encourage us! But ultimately, you're not doing this for us, you're doing this to rescue a hopeless, abandoned child from a life of destitution and misery!
Love to you all,
Ian and Mel
