A heart of compassion

The day was beautiful, and the weather was perfect! The family was hustling about decorating and making final preparations. It was my brother's wedding day, and I stood there humbled as I put pictures of children on white lattice for a display for the wedding. No, the pictures were not of the young bride and groom. The pictures were of children in Peru who reside in an orphanage. On their wedding day, my sister-in-law and brother were thinking of those in need and wanted to give. I was amazed at the thought of someone wanting to use their wedding to do good for others. My sister-in-law had come up with a game to raise money for the precious children at The Josephine House at the same time as raising awareness for this organization.

The Josephine House is a home in Cusco, Peru whose goal is to provide safety for children who are in difficult situations of alcohol or physical abuse, extreme poverty, and abandonment until they can be adopted into a home. Many of the children at the Josephine House have special needs and require extra care and money to provide for their needs. Please visit their website here and consider Sponsoring a Smile.
