Spread the Word!

Have you ever felt in your pockets and pulled out that extra money you didn't realize you had? Or found money in the dryer while you were doing laundry?  What about cleaning out your purse and realizing you had cash in there you didn't expect?  Instead of spending it on something just to spend it, what about giving to someone in need? 
A lot of people say that the Christmas season is one of the worst seasons for giving, because everything is so expensive and you have to buy so many gifts.  But what is that telling you?  What does that make Christmas about? Is it about who has the most expensive present? Is it about how much you buy? Or is it about what you can do for others?
I challenge you all.  Dig through your couch, clean out your purse, clean out your diaper bag, go through your clothes and your jacket pockets.  If you have any spare cash, even if it's $5, can you donate it to the Crim Fund?  This family is giving up everything to keep their girls.  They are in the process of selling everything they own, just to pay for the rising costs for Attorney fee's and everything else. 
Adopt an Angel this year! Help out those in need.  And watch that cheer spread further than anything you've ever seen before! <3

Welcome!

This blog is to get the word out to help Support the Crim Family!  For those who haven't heard, here is a little background.  The Crim family adopted two wonderful little girls from Mexico 4 years ago.  They have been fighting Mexico for the past 4 years to finalize this adoption (They did everything on their end, but Mexico was dragging their feet and just wanting more money, etc).  Well, they stalled too long and it ended up causing the Crim's to almost lose their girls.  The Crim's (with the support of thousands ;) ) started emailing, faxing, and calling the Senator's and Congressmen of Texas and got a STOP ACTION put on their Adoption.  This stopped Mexico from being able to come and take the girls away.  This family still has a VERY Long road ahead of them and things are getting hard.  This is not an easy (or cheap!) thing to go through.  These parents are giving up everything for these girls, and haven't asked for a thing in return.  They just want their family to stay together.  This family is one of the most amazing families I have ever had the opportunity to know.  Not only do they care about each other, but they care about others and they encourage people everywhere.
What they are in need of now is any assistance they can get!  They are having to sell everything they own because as we know, Lawyers are NOT cheap!  And adoption is not cheap either.  The courts have granted them temporary custody of these girls as they go through Adoption here in the States and through Immigration. 
Even if you can give $1 or $5, imagine how fast that would add up!  If you can't, please don't feel bad though!  This family can also use all of the encouragement they can get!  Leave a little note, spread the word, and help spread the love around!
