All donations to Both Hands are tax deductible (both supplies and money for our adoption). All the money is sent directly to LifeSong for Orphans who will then send it to our adoption agency. We would be happy to have you join our volunteer team. I can talk to you at church or on the phone about this more! To date, Both Hands has raised over $2,800,000 for orphan care and adoption funding. 268 Both Hands projects have taken place in 36 states! These projects have served 287 widows through home repairs, helped 305 orphans become adopted, and enabled over 7,800 volunteers to serve others. 24 of the 268 projects have raised funds for orphan care initiatives.

They repaired a deck, washed siding, did yard work, and painted part of the house. They asked around at local building supply stores and were able to get most of their paint and supplies donated for free! Best wishes and congrats!Jeremy and Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440807075036724101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325846559523866850.post-74421197022753146112013-07-25T08:28:11.815-04:002013-07-25T08:28:11.815-04:00This sounds great!

If all the money raised goes to the adoption, and the work is all donated, who pays for the supplies to fix up the widows home??? Is it donated by Lowes or a Home Depot??? I can say (as long as I'm not on crutches by the time you do this) that I will join your team :)<br />Blessings to you both and the children that God has laid on your hearts:)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553161745736504577noreply@blogger.com
