Orphan for a Night




This  month my church (and our student ministry) are partnering with Go International for their Orphan for a Night event.

On Friday, September 24 from 9:00 PM-7:00 AM people all over the United States will be giving up their bed for a cardboard box.  The purpose is to help raise awareness for the approximately 163 million orphans who go to sleep every night without food in their bellies, a roof over their head or a bed to lay on.

I, along with everyone else that pledges to be an orphan for a night, will raise $100 to help orphans all around the world.  The money raised will be used by Go International for different orphan projects (educating, clothing, feeding, etc) and go towards international adoptions.

If just 10 people give $10, that's my $100!  If you would like to be one of the 10 and help raise awareness for the plight of orphans all over the world, please comment below and let me know!
