MATCHING GRANT - $5,000!!

Our adoption is moving right along, maybe even slightly faster than we had anticipated. And we're grateful as it does seem that we'll have Conlan home by the end of May! We've been completely blown away by the level of support from family and friends and want to thank everyone who has supported us in prayer and financially.

We have more amazing news! Lifesong for Orphans and Chosen & Dearly Loved have committed an Adoption Matching Grant of $5,000 to help pay our adoption expenses!! We could hardly believe the generosity of this gift!! Will you please prayerfully consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us meet this matching grant to help bring Conlan home? Our goal date is January 31, 2016, but funds will be accepted towards our adoption until our adoption is complete. You can choose to give via check or online.

Mail-in: Please make checks payable to “Lifesong for Orphans.” In the memo, note “Family Acct Number: 5711 & Family Name: Pugh” to assure it goes to the correct account. Please mail to Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744.

Online: Go to www.lifesongfororphans.org/give/donate. Select “Give to an Adoptive Family.” Complete the online form and fill in “Family Account Number: 5711” and “Family Name: Pugh” Fields. (Please note that PayPal will charge an administrative fee: 2.2% + $.30 USD per transaction. Your donation will be decreased by the amount of this fee. We totally understand the convenience of this option and aren't concerned about this admin fee.)

Legal stuff Lifesong would like us to share: Lifesong has been blessed with a partner that underwrites all U.S. administrative and fund-raising costs (TMG Foundation and other partners) and 100% of your donation goes directly to the adoption. In following IRS guidelines, your donation is to the named non-profit organization and it retains full discretion over its use, but intends to honor the donor’s suggested use. Individual donations of $250 or more and yearly donations totaling $250 or more will receive a tax-deductible receipt. Receipts for donations under $250 will gladly be sent upon request. Lifesong is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.
