Is hope only for this world?...
Is hope only for this world? Our hope is for meaning in a life beyond what we see and understand. And although I struggle to "see" and understand "heaven" while I struggle in this darkness of losing Kasper and our family's dreams, I know that with time, I can open my heart again...
I am asking you to open your heart and give to the orphans in Burma. A fine honor to our beautiful Kasper and the children of the world.

Hope is not lost. We choose...
Hope is not lost. We choose life over death. Although our beautiful son died, we still believe that life is worth celebrating. We invite you to honor life, our son's memory and the orphans of Burma. Give a donation and make a difference in 2013. $50 will help one orphan for a year. A mere $5 provides food, a home and school for one month.
Created by JoEllen Nordström on November 27, 2012
Kasper's Fund will improve and save the lives of 200 orphaned children in Burma.
By giving the orphans' extended families support, these children can live safely with those they know and trust. MATCHED funding provides:
- schooling,
- food and
- clothing to the children,
- plus additional training to their foster parents.
The cost to support one child for one year is approx $50.
(325 Sek for our Swedish friends)
We have selected the Chinland Development & Research Society ( www.cdrs.se) as our charity because funds donated are used to provide strong family support, education and even local training for environmentally sustainable farming.
These are the values we wanted to share with Kasper and the world. So this fund will keep our dream of Kasper alive.
Currently, CDRS supports over 1,000 children who receive support in their homes, foster care and schools.
The cost to support one child for one year is only $50.
A simple $5 donation supports one orphan for one month!
Again, this small donation provides schooling, food and clothing within a family for an entire year! We know the importance of family and praise this mission.
***We have decided that we wish to raise AT LEAST $9,000 in Memory of Kasper.*** (58,500 kronor)
This will support 10 kids for 18 years!
ALSO, we will personally match these first 10 donations so that 20 kids receive help during their childhood. 18 YEARS!
In the past, this organizations efforts have been increased by SIDA and others - outside additional funding providing 90% of the total expenses. With our efforts, this means our donations to help 20 orphans will be magnified to 200 orphans!!!
This is REAL change in the world. Kasper's Fund will make a real long-term impact on hundreds - even thousands - of lives!
*******************
You asked us again and again, ”Is there anything I can do?”
Yes! You can sponsor orphans in Kasper's Memory.
*******************
Of course, you can are welcome to give ANY amount that you can...nothing is too small nor too large.
Change the life of a child and you change the world.
Thank you! for keeping our beautiful dream of Kasper alive!

Our Story...
Kasper
came into our world on 6 November 2012 and left us on 14 November 2012.
During his short visit, he changed our lives forever. We have shared
hope, prayers, lost dreams, passion, pain, tragedy, courage, submission
and acceptance with hundreds of friends around the world. We have been united by our
experience and desire to share love.
We need your help to save orphans in Burma and give ongoing meaning
& purpose to our son Kasper's short life who died from asphyxia this
month.
For all your support and prayers, we thank you.
To give ongoing meaning and purpose to Kasper's life, we beg you... Please donate to his memory and pay it forward.

Thank you so much! Today we must finalize the funeral plans, meet with the investigator for Kasper's forensic autopsy, and organize the small details for Kasper's coffin. Such heavy tasks...but seeing this here! Seeing that people are willing to tangibly assist in his memory - it's beautiful. And I am crying tears of joy today!
