Sarah here.
This past week we celebrated my little brother's 6th birthday! Who is that little brother? Elijah, as in handiworkforelijah. :)
Which means Handiwork for Orphans has been open for 3 years! THREE YEARS!
And during that three years God has blessed this ministry more than I can believe, and we're not done growing! Let's recap:
Here's to another 3 years, to more money raised, to more children helped, to more families completed, to more love made.

And during that three years God has blessed this ministry more than I can believe, and we're not done growing! Let's recap:
- 3 years
- Founded in Sept 2010 to help bring my little brother home from Ukraine
- Added Rachel as the missing half of HFO in June 2011
- Hundreds of hats made and sold
- Hundreds of dishcloths and other items made and sold
- 25+ craft sales
- Several people inspired to start their own shops selling items to help orphans
- Hundreds of people made aware of our cause and the plight of the orphan
- Over $7000 raised (estimated)
- 16+ orphans helped to find their families and come home
- 6 of those have families working to get them!
- and 8 are HOME with their forever families!
Here's to another 3 years, to more money raised, to more children helped, to more families completed, to more love made.
Thank you Elijah! For getting this party started!
