Skipping Starbucks and Changing Lives
No, this isn’t a joke. You just heard me advocate a day without Starbucks. And you know I wouldn’t skip my Starbucks without a very good reason.
Twitter friend and fellow writer C.J Redwine and her husband have been pursuing adoption a little girl from China for five years now. There have been a lot of hurdles to jump, times when the Chinese government has halted adoptions, followed by raising adoption costs etc.
But they’re in the homestretch now and getting very close to the moment when they will finally be united with their daughter, Johanna Faith.
They have funds saved for the adoption, but due to recent increases in fees they need a little boost. That’s why today, I will be skipping Starbucks, and donating to C.J’s paypal on her website to help bring her little girl home!
I love coffee, but this is bigger than that. Adoption is an issue that touches my heart, and I truly believe every child should have a family, and that’s why I’m blogging, and giving, today. If you feel led to skip your Starbucks today and put some cash toward giving a child a family!
There is a badge for your blog so you can let the world know you skipped Starbucks. (or don’t skip your Starbucks and donate anyway…I won’t tell.) You can read more of C.J’s story at her blog, donate, and get entered to win some REALLY COOL prizes!

Thank you!!! *huge hugs* I appreciate you so much!
I’m happy to help any way I can! I’m so thrilled for your family. 🙂
Maisey,
What a lovely heart warming story, one for whom I’m sure the HEA is on its way.
Unfortunately, being the only woman left in Ireland who does NOT have a credit card, donating will most likely be impossible. What I can offer are my prayers that this family is united sooner rather than later with their little girl.
Wishing them the very best of luck,
Aideen.
Thanks, Aideen, you are the coolest. 🙂
That is so fab, Maisey. I will donate when our maxed out credit card (thanks Sydney) finally has some credit it on it. 🙂
