Why we're here..

Numan Orphange is located in Asela, Ethiopia south east of Addis Ababa. It is a 3 hour drive by car; beautiful and breath taking the entire way. If you have ever been there it is a place you will never forget. Numan orphanage serves it's community by being a refuge for children in the midst of extremely difficult transition. Children ranging from 0 months to 15 years call Numan their "home", some for a very brief moment and others for an extended period of time. It is a place especially close to my heart since it was a "home" for my son during his time of need.



Numan is experiencing their own transition and moving to a new facility. Since they are expanding and will most likely be meeting the needs of more families. They find themselves in need. This Blog was established to help Numan attain these items in order to aid them in becoming more efficient in helping families and children in their community while making life more comfortable for those who live there. There are currently 27 children at Numan. We hope that through fundraising and donations we will meet the needs of the children at Numan and for those caring for them.



I would also like to clarify that this blog is not a part of Children's Hope International. They are being kind in allowing us to use them as a vessel to serve Numan.

What's goin' on??!!

The past few days have been just A-MAZING! I really did not expect to receive any donations today. And today..we had two donations adding up to $620! This is really just a miracle to me. I am speechless.

Some of you have been inquiring about how much Numan will receive. 100% of your donation will go straight to Numan. Children's Hope International does receive 15% of all donations for administration fees, wiring fees, bank fees (credit card donations), online donation verification service fees, and they oversee fund distribution by requiring a photo and receipt of all purchases. This provides much appreciated accountibility. However, an anonymous donor has agreed to pay 15% of the $5337, which is $800.55, so that every cent of your donation goes to Numan!! Is God totally awesome or what. Please partner in praying that God will Bless the socks off of those who have generously donated. Thank you so much!!
