A few weeks ago Nikki (one of our children's leaders extraordinaire) had mentioned that the soccer league her girls are in may have a lot of uniforms they don't need anymore.
It turns out the entire league is changing the colors of their uniforms. So she went and talked to the board and they have agreed to give her access to whatever she needs to coordinate getting the old uniforms for the kids in Rwanda. This could mean literally over 1,000 uniforms! How incredible is that?!?
They will also be collecting shoes and any other gear that people would like to give.
We are overwhelmed with the response!
Nikki also talked to the local sports shop that all the players use. It turns out they also have several hundred uniforms and a several cases of cleats! How crazy is that?!?
For funding - There were two large donations from places we never expected to see them. One was from a local non-profit and another from a local company.
God truly has us all on an amazing ride. Thank you for being a part of it. If it weren't for your prayers, I guarantee those things never would have happened.
