Hello,

I am attempting to raise the funds needed for one of my closest friends and workmate to be able to afford the adoption of the young man you see in the photo. His name is Aben and My friends Jeff and Ashley Anderson are the most caring loving folks you can meet. They are unable to have children themselves and have longed for a child to love and care for. Around a year ago a member of Ashley's family was unable to care for Aben and Ashley and Jeff welcomed him into their home. They have done all they could and now want to give Aben the ultimate gift of being not just a visitor in the loving home they have, but to be their son in this home with them. There have been plenty of up and down times over the past year that is a normal in all families, but the love that is shared is unwavering. The cost of an adoption of this kind can be anywhere from $20,000 to $40, 000. I personally can not give them much of anything, however, I hope I can give them this possible hope that others that have been through this process would be able to help them hold to this opportunity.

I am truly thankful for Ashely and Jeff and if I had the funds I would not be going this route.

Thank you for your time and considerations...

Sincerely,

Barry V. Ledbetter
