Batiste Family Help Fund

In early 2017, my wife was pregnant with our fourth child and we were very happy that our family was growing. Never did we think that before our fourth child was born we would have 3 more children in the house. By August of 2017 we had 6 children in the family and one on the way. Our family now has 7 children ages 16, 14, 9, 8, 4, 2 and 1 years old. Our 3 foster children were brought to us not by chance but by love. We had love to give and they needed love. In accepting responsibility for these 3 children we never thought about how hard it would be to get around and never thought about the money it would take to raise a family this big, we just knew that these children needed something we could give, LOVE!! We are now looking to adopt these 3 beautiful children and giving them a permanent loving home.

We are seeking some help to get a vehicle that we can all fit in and also some extra funds to begin building college funds for these children and hopefully have some extra money to give them a vacation that they have never had but always dreamed of. We currently have a savings account started for the vehicle, but as you can imagine with 7 kids it is hard to save enough to do what is needed on the income we make.

Right now we need to use 2 cars to get our family from A to B. Having one vehicle that we can all ride in will help us to go places together without the added fuel cost and maintenance costs of a second vehicle. Getting college funds set up will ensure that these children will have the ability to move ahead in the world and do good for themselves and their families in the future. The vacation will help them realize that they can go places and have fun and make memories that will last a lifetime.

So please if you can help, help, if you cannot we do understand and may the great spirit bless you all, your help and your prayers will mean the world to us and to these children.
