A new logo for a new year.
We are SO excited about our vision and dreams for 2021!
**Our GIVING TUESDAY FUNDRAISER IS LIVE! (click here)**
The “Live Gia Grow Forever Foundation” is a 501(c)3 which was founded in honor of our brave, lemon loving, butterfly catching, flower picking, warrior daughter who was adopted from China at 2 years old with a very broken heart. On what was the most tragic day of our lives, on April 22,2018 our beloved Gianna Lilyfaith lost her earthly battle with cardiac heart disease and went home to be with Jesus too soon at 6 years old.
After 4 years of being blessed to be her family on earth, extraordinary living and 6 open heart surgeries and so much joy, along with so many brave medical battles….she eventually won her eternal inheritance. We miss and love her fiercely and grieve deeply till the day we will reunite on the shores of eternity. Her forever life continually reflects the light of Jesus and teaches us to live bold and brave for eternal treasures. Therefore we want to share this gift and hope with others through our new non-profit Foundation.
The vision of LGGFF is a 3 part global initiative to plant God’s seed of love, grow abundant Life and bloom hope through the three branches of orphan care, orphan prevention and adoption aid.
Please read this post here to learn more about the first seed of this vision and how it was initially birthed from the deepest grief of our lives which then grew into a new harvest of miracles in 2020! This is ALL GOD’s GRACE!
God blessed our ministry immensely this past year by allowing us the humbling privilege to:
- Partner with and be a vehicle of financial support to a very special foster home in China, Lily’s House (run by our Gianna’s China foster mom). Lily’s House cares for special needs orphans by providing a safe, warm, nurturing and loving home with a family like atmosphere so orphans can feel bonded and secure while waiting for their forever families.
- Furthermore, because of the loving generosity of supporters, we also had the humbling blessing to provide adoption grants to 9 waiting families! What a complete joy to come along these families in their sacred journeys to their waiting children. If you could please say a prayer for each of them as you’re reading this because most of them are still waiting to travel and have had their process delayed because of Covid. It has been a hard season and we are praying God opens the borders for these children to come home!
- Finally, As part of our newly developed third branch, we have been able to help support various orphan- prevention care ministries that serve vulnerable children and families through medical care and education to impoverished communities. One of these is a ministry that is very close to our heart as we have been able to visit, serve and partner with @Unity4orphans in Nicaragua as a family before our Gianna went to heaven!
We are so thankful to see God continuing to write a story of Hope through our beautiful Gianna’s life! We just know God’s stories never end in ashes and we are witnesses of this promise!
Will you help us keep this love blooming?
It is our dream and vision to raise $4000 (or more) this #givingTuesday so @liveGiaGrowForeverFoundation can continue to be a light and bloom more life and HOPE for those who need it most! It’s the most humbling gift to see our precious beloved Gia’s life overflowing into other’s lives and to see miracles continue to grow because of God’s promises!
Please click here to be one of first donors and help us bloom HOPE to others around the world!
More specifically, with your donation on #givingTuesday we hope to see new fruit blossom from these three branches in our ministry:
1) financially help at least one (or more) families who are adopting internationally by offering a grant to aid them in bringing home their child(children) which will be awarded on Gianna’s Birthday on January 10th.
2) Help fund a Foster Home in China (Lilysfoundation.org) who cares for special needs orphans in China. Lily was also our Gianna’s China foster mama and it is her desire to care for children with severe medical needs and offer them the love and security of a bonded family atmosphere!
3) It is also our vision to expand our ministry this year with a new third branch in hopes to come alongside an Orphan-Prevention Care ministry that offers education, medical help, and basic necessities to vulnerable children so their families can be preserved and protected and kept together!
Let’s prevent more children from becoming orphans!
Thank you for your love, prayers and support and for coming alongside us to see abundant LIFE grow!
All because Jesus overcomes Death with Life!
“I have come that they may have life, and have it abundantly”
(John 10:10)
