The video was made for a fundraiser. What Give1Save1 does is to introduce a family each week who is adopting and encourage you to donate a dollar to help with their expenses. This is our week! Share the video and encourage your friends to donate a dollar. You may use the Reece's Rainbow donate button to the right to donate. Donations are securely handled through Paypal and are tax deductible.
Nearly EVERYONE can afford to donate a dollar, and right now those dollars are doubled through our matching grant. We still need about $15,000 to complete the adoptions, and a little help from a lot of people will go a long way.
The song is really snappy and it is easy to miss some of the words, so here are the lyrics to read ahead of time. Enjoy! (And a huge thank you to Sarah and Aaron who wrote the words, filmed, and edited the video!)
We Will Find You in Shenzhen
Could it be that you're our daughter?
A member of our family?
Could it be you have a sis,
Waiting there with you like this
Two girls hoping endlessly?
We can find a room in our home
An empty place within our hearts
Just in need of being filled
We can even say we're thrilled
To see that this is where it starts
We'll fly higher
See it transpire
Soon you will see when
Little Abigail and Jen
We will find you in Shenzhen
We've been tangled up in red tape
Filing forms a mile high
We've been pulling out our hair
Ink is getting everywhere
While we're dotting all the i's
The whole family is longing
Sisters, brothers, Grandma, too
Nieces, nephews, want to play
Just can't wait until the day
When we board that plane with you
Flying higher
It will transpire
Listen here again
Little Abigail and Jen
We will find you in Shenzhen
We'll fly higher
See it transpire
Soon you will see when
Our dear Abigail and Jen
We will find you in Shenzhen
Girls you know it's true
We are coming fast for you
And we'll find you in Shenzhen
We want you to know
Just how much we love you so
We will find you in Shenzhen
Na na na na na na....
Abigail and Jen
Find you in Shenzhen
I love love love the video ! What a great job!!!! Hope u get the funds you need u are so close ! God is good
ReplyDeleteShen JEN. Just like your daughter's name. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteOoops. Wish you had been around a month ago when we started working on it. Nice to know though. Thanks!
DeleteLove the video! That was a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Shenzen! I got your letter the other day, should we donate to Reece's Rainbow or Hand in Hand or does it matter?
Thanks :D
Love the video! That must have been a lot of work. I have been to Shenzen!
ReplyDeleteWhere should we send a donation? Is Reece's Rainbow or Hand inHand better? I got the letter Sat.
Thanks, Cass
Right now the very best way to donate would be through Hand in Hand. That would be tax deductible for you, and no Paypal fees for us. If it is easier for you to use Paypal though, we have made arrangements with Hand in Hand for the donations from that fundraiser to apply to our grant. (You wouldn't get the tax deductible benefit though.) Until the grant is fulfilled, Reece's Rainbow is not preferred because funds through there will not apply to our matching grant. Thanks so much for asking and for caring for our girls!
ReplyDeleteThat was TOO neat!! Great job!
