My mother was a driving force in my early life of learning to serve and give to others. We were always taking in someone that was in need, giving a bed, a warm meal, sometimes to people we barely knew ate meals and slept in our home. We gave until there was no more. There was no fear or second thought, we always just gave. We had little, but always sacrificed it to share with others. I was raised this way, I am teaching my children to follow. My grandmother was the same, preparing meals for the elderly and faithfully delivering them every day.
It turns out that giving is good for you and your health!! CNN posted a very interesting article this month about charitable giving and volunteering.
If everyone gave time, money, talents or passion, what could that mean for individuals, communities, even the world?
“The power of giving is instantaneous, continuous and eternal,” he said. “When you die, you don’t take what you have.You take what you gave.”

Dear Donors and Supporters,
What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace. Each and every day we face with extreme courage and faith. We have so much hope for the future for the orphans and families we assist. Without you, all we have done would not have been possible! We pray that one day we won’t need our projects or that there is never a child to be found without love in this world. Until then we will continue to have broken hearts and do everything we can to make lives better.
Thank you for the great year and we wanted to let you know that tax receipts will go out in the first two weeks of January.
We will be posting an update of the Semipalatinsk Window project, Wish Upon a Star and House of Angels within a week.
We are still seeking Volunteers for the House of Angels! Please consider how you can help!
Please see a special Holiday Greeting from Little Miracles.
Merry Christmas and a bountiful and blessed New Year!
Lori Scott

Our organization has opened a coffee storefront! When presented with this wonderful opportunity we were thrilled! Please consider buying coffee and making this a part of your giving.
Just Love Coffee Roasters is a company that provides fair trade specialty coffee, while helping orphans left behind and orphans soon to be adopted. Just Love Coffee Roasters is assisting Dream of a Child, by allowing us to sell their coffee to raise humanitarian funds.
The coffee is hand roasted upon order, and hand packed to deliver! They have a variety of different blends, and who doesn’t love coffee? If you or someone you know is interested in buying coffee, we would appreciate it! The coffee club allows us to have a constant fundraiser while you enjoy your morning brew every day of every month. You can also order individual coffees.
Funds from the purchase of these coffees will go to our projects as well as the JustLove projects in Ethiopia. You will be helping orphans around the world. We look forward to your help!
Please retweet if you would like to help us spread the word!
