Both Hands Foundation

Yesterday, we met with JT Olson who runs the Both Hands Foundation. It is really an incredible foundation, and I have a strange connection to knowing JT outside of his foundation. His son, Max, is in my small group at Fellowship. Anyways, Both Hands is a great foundation that pairs adopting families with widows. It is all based on James 1:27 (Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.[ESV]). It is an incredible idea and an incredible way for us to help pay for adoption. It breaks down like this we raise money by donating our time to help a widow with various household chores, eminence and landscaping that she would normally not be able to complete. How that works is JT has strategic partners with contractors, home building supply stores and various other vendors, which he uses to help provide some of the supplies to us. We then ask for support from our friends and families to help support the workers for the time they spend helping the widow. They in turn give that money to us to help pay for our adoption. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to give back and receive all at once. In the coming weeks, we are going to be asking for workers and support.
