There is an awesome lady that I know if only through this great social medium we call the internet that has a heart made of gold.
She, like many of us who have adopted from Guatemala, felt compelled to help the children there. Infants and children living in orphanages who have no other option. Unfortunately the government there does very little for these places. So it takes people like Julia to to really make a difference and give these children a chance.
Right now her organization Global Orphan Team is having a raffle with some awesome prizes. Here’s where it gets interesting. Julia has committed to SHAVING HER HAIR OFF if they can reach $6000 in donations by Friday night. They still have a long way to go so get your butt over to Global Orphan Teams website and click the donate button and make this bold lady bald! Even if it’s just $5. Every bit counts.
Be sure to scroll down and check out the pictures she has up so you can see the amazing work she is doing there.
This is a picture from their website that touches my heart the most.
and another one that absolutely makes my heart bleed…
Oh and spread the word!
