This is what we call a little bit of Hope....

This is in Taraz at the children's home for mostly special needs children. They received our shoes today and as you can see by the smiles on their faces, it was a fabulous day! If any of you gave shoes, you can now see the pay off of the time you spent on picking them out and getting them to us! Thank you all for making these children smile! They will be going to Karakastek (Almaty region) on Friday to give out shoes there too! 

It is so wonderful to see the children that are benefiting from your generosity! These are the days that make it all worth it! These are the days we know why we were called to Kazakhstan to find our precious children, not only to bring them home to be with us, but to help the children that were left behind to have hope for a brighter future!

We are so blessed to have people that believe in Two Hearts, people that trust us and people that are willing to take time out of their busy schedules and money out of their own pockets to support us, thank you all!

Thank you this week to The Marcacci Family (CA), The Bell Family (TN), The DeSantis Family (RI), The Dean Family (CT), The Woods Family (CA), The Kucinskas Family (CT) and Nancy's Place (MO).

Also thank you to The Ruopoli Family (SC) going to Aktobe, The Carr Family (TX) going to Almaty City BH#2 and The Abdurakhmanov Family (NY) going to Almaty City CH for volunteering to take a box of donations to Kazakhstan on their upcoming trips!

With God all things are possible!!!!
