It’s nest building time

It’s that time of year again. The Sparrow Fund team is all abuzz because May means it’s time to build the nest. This May marks our 4th annual fundraiser which is what allows us to continue our work to support adoptive families through grants, support, and training as well as our new work in orphan care as we lead teams to serve at an orphanage in Shaanxi, China.

Building the nest for The Sparrow Fund isn’t an independent task; it takes a lot of people to build that nest so that we can help others as they build theirs through this thing called adoption. All the businesses linked up below have joined us by making a pretty big commitment to donate at least 10% of their total sales during the month of May to The Sparrow Fund so that we can continue to serve adoptive families in a significant way.

Visit their sites, shop with purpose and make that 10% something crazy. Then, after you do, come back and leave a comment here sharing who you purchased from and what you purchased. For every purchase you make, you get one entry to…

win an ipad mini

Pretty awesome, right?

*in order to to qualify for an entry to win, orders or purchases must be made within the month of May. Comment must include the name of the business and what you ordered. The winning entry will be chosen during the first week of June and announced on The Sparrow Fund Facebook page and Twitter feed.*

  23. Hello!
    I am a second grade teacher, and my class and I feel in love with Disney’s latest classic hit, Frozen, this past year. We studied the film, as well as the original classic, The Snow Queen. When I saw the absolutely beautiful, hand-painted beads created by Ashlyn, I was beside myself. Never before have I seen such talent and perseverance in someone at such a young age. Here she is, in grade school herself, and already she is a young entrepreneur. Not only that, but through our emails, we have learned much about each other. As soon as she learned that I was childhood friends with the writer/director of Frozen, Jennifer Lee, she decided to paint a necklace for Jenn, as well.
    What an experience doing business with Ashlyn has been! I can’t wait to order from her again, and I just know she is going to be very successful in life! Thank you! Kim Paiva, Grade 2 Teacher

  25. After 4 years of struggling with infertility, my husband and I had an IUI to concieve our daughter, Emerson. Unfortunately on May 6th, 2014 I went into labor prematurely after my water broke due to an incompetent cervix. Our angel was born still. We are so devastated and have been trying to find ways to keep her in our lives. I ordered car decals from Cara at Blue times two that all of our family now has on their vehicles. All I did was tell Cara what happened and an idea and she designed something perfect on the first try. We are all in love with them and are very happy that we will always have our sweet Emerson Kyrie with us.
