JEFF & LIZA Matching Grant Recipients Adopted from Ethiopia & China “We are extremely grateful for the matching grant we received from Lifesong. We were shocked to get the grant, and the funds came quickly when they were available. Lifesong made it so easy! Knowing there were dollars available to us motivated and encouraged us to get the word out. We think we were able to raise more funds than we would have if it were a non-matching grant.” “We loved having Lifesong help us with our adoption expenses and fundraising support. The process was easy and we couldn’t have had our funds as quickly without their help. The staff at Lifesong is top notch!! Thank you so much Lifesong for the huge part you played in helping our son come into our family!” SETH & CASEY Matching Grant & Fundraising Support Recipients Adopted from US “Lifesong is our unsung hero, the blessing God threw in the mix at the very last minute. The matching grant received allowed us to raise the last bit of funds needed for travel to India to pickup our sweet Titus.” DANIEL & PATTI Matching Grant Recipients Adopted from India JASON & BECKY Matching Grant Recipients Adopted from US “The service from Lifesong was exceptional. The people were there to answer our questions; they were prompt in sending us the grant. Their prayers for our family and our adoption journey were much needed and appreciated!” JAY & SARAH Matching Grant Recipients Adopted from US “Because of Lifesong, our matching church, as well as our community of believers, were mobilized to be the body of Christ, joining directly with us in our adoption process. We felt supported and connected to the body of Christ which enabled us to say yes to a brave birth mom who chose life for our son.” ALLEN & AMANDA Matching Grant Recipients Adopted from China “Getting the matching grant made it easier for us to tell our friends and church about our fundraising efforts. Lifelong also matched us with a local grant organization that actually provided the funds. This group helped us and gave us information along the way. Now we have a relationship with the members of that organization.”
