Holly amazes me not only because of those things but there's more. Holly is a mother to 3 beautiful children, Holly homeschools, Holly fights for the orphan and does all this while her husband is serving in Iraq.
Holly has a PASSION for HIV orphans. You know I think most people are probably ignorant to the actual fact of HIV. I honestly don't believe it's our own fault but it's what the media has taught us. Problem is that there are so many beautiful, precious children that are innocent that need a home. Every Tuesday Holly fights for these kids on her blog with a "Take Me Home Tuesday" day that she highlights a child that is waiting.
Holly had a death in the family last week so I don't know if she will be posting it this week but you really should read her blog.
Holly, if your reading this day 3 of our blog party is all for you my friend.
So want to know what I'm giving away for day three? I am sooo excited I can't stand it!
It could be this beautiful, snowman set for Santa.
It could be this very cool monster set.
It could be this beautiful spoon that was designed by her daughter to raise awareness for breast cancer.
It could be this very cool fiesta set.
It could be this amazing emerald set (pictures do this no justice at all). This set is one I ordered so I know how beautiful it is.
Guess what? Holly and her family makes these. Holly has a son that has faith like no other that God has a sister waiting for him in China. Holly knew she had to do something to show him she was working to bring home his sister because he asked her constantly (this child has wisdom way beyond his years). Holly hasn't been able to start the adoption process yet because her husband is in Iraq so she decided to start this business to raise money for when they can start.
I had never heard of beaded silverware before but I can tell you I'm hooked now. Does this not just scream the perfect gift for a teacher, co-worker or someone hard to buy for?

What if no insurance company will cover my child? Here’s the great news! It is a legal requirement that all adopted children be added to group insurance plans without pre-existing condition clauses in all 50 states! And many states also require that private insurance plans do the same! In addition, all 50 states have funding programs that will assist with the costs of HIV treatment within specified income guidelines. For specific information on your state's programs and insurance requirements, please request our State Fact Sheet for your state.
Thank you so much for hosting these parties! God bless you!

I just love the fiesta set....wish I could get a set for my whole family!!
God bless you Sarah and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Hi, Sarah
I've gotta be in on this drawing! As you know, my heart is touched with the HIV children, too! My fact is that you can have HIV and never develop AIDs. Actually, there are some children who test HIV positive at birth, but convert to negative status by the age of 2. YIPPEE!
Did you know that World AIDS day is December 1. St. Paul's church here in Richmond will be having an evening service. I will be there with info to pass out to people. HIV is spreading rapidly throughout the world. With proper education HIV spread could be stopped. We like to educate our clients on how to stop the spread by taking a few simple precautions. Though with medical break throughs the medication has come so far. But without proper medical care and medication it can lead to early death. We have quite a few clients that are in the 60s and 70s and are pretty healthy. But educating people is the key to fight the battle of HIV and AIDS. People are still unclear how you can spread and prevent HIV. Im so glad that you are being proactive in this fight. You can post this in your blog. I couldnt figure out how since I dont have a Google account.
