Hi! My name is Daniel. I come to you with a big ask knowing that we serve a BIG God who seeks to bless MANY. Let me cut to the chase because you’re probably looking at that $80,000 like WHAT IN THE WORLD FOR? Well, my family and I are trying to raise money for a down payment on a house so that we can expand our family by 2 (very special kids). My wife and I have three children of our own and after having the opportunity to volunteer for Royal Family KIDS (a summer camp and mentorship program for children in the foster care system), I soon realized this ministry would change my life in more ways than one. Firstly, God has asked me to begin the groundwork for a Royal Family KIDS camp at my church: The Rock, in Anaheim. We need to be close to our church in order to successfully start a camp, so a house in Orange County is the answer (hence the crazy big scary number!) Secondly, after mentoring a young boy and his sister for over a year I realized that God was calling me to pursue them with a forever family after they were abruptly removed from their previous foster home and separated for the first time in their lives. It took my wife and I two months to find them only to discover that they hadn’t seen each other since being separated. We teamed up with some friends and volunteers from RFK and figured out a way to get them both to camp so they could finally see each other, nearly 5 months later. During that process, my wife and I worked hard to get approval from the county so that we could visit with them. So every other weekend, my family and I pick up each of them up from their different foster homes, spend the day together, and drop them back off until we can see them again. Their backstory is tragic and not my story to tell, but what you should know is that their biological parents are uninvolved, there are no relative caregivers who have stepped up to the plate, and there are very few foster homes willing to take them both. But God has given us willing hearts! And we are praying for the privilege to foster and then adopt these two precious children! The problem is that we currently live in a two-bedroom apartment with three biological kids and a small dog. We are about halfway done with the approval process to become their foster parents (and hopefully future adoptive parents) but we need more space. The county has agreed to do our home inspection last, as we get on our knees in prayer and ask for your help and for God to come through on His promises to not only us, but to these two kiddos in need of a redemptive home. My wife and I have some money saved up but need at least 100k for the down payment. If we buy a house soon, we can have these kids back together before the holidays with hope for a forever home with us. We know the Lord will provide and we THANK YOU for any and all of the support.
