Donors Choose
So I was watching Stephen Colbert the other day, and heard about this Donors Choose website for teachers. Basically, teachers can request needed materials, and other people or businesses can fund it.
I am a teacher and my husband is an elevator mechanic. We were in the process of an international adoption for 2 1/2 years, and it came to an end while in country. We are continually learning to walk with the Lord in the midst of that heartache.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. (James 1:2-3)
