Last night, the father, Frank, was one of four killed tragically in a military helicopter crash. On top of worrying about coming up with the money for the adoption, Kryste now is a single mother to 4 children. I can't begin to imagine the absence that is left in this family. My heart is breaking and I have never even met them "in real life". Only read about them through their blog. But that is part of being in God's family. Because that is what they are. They are my family. They are your family. We can't take the pain and shock and the rest of the hard stuff away from them during this season of their life they are now suddenly embarking on. But we can lift the burden of the adoption fees. And we can lift them up in prayer. The hard road they were on just got a lot harder. Let's be the Hands and Feet of Jesus and do what we can to help them.
If you feel led, donate to the family via this link from Project Hopeful below. Even if you don't feel led to donate or just financially are unable, please share this blog post. Someone you know might feel led and might be able to. And every single dollar adds up. (*all donations via the Paypal link below are tax deductible*)
Also, anyone who orders any custom Christmas cards from my design blog during this time, all proceeds from those sales will go to this family.
While we are lifting the Buoniconti family up in prayer, please remember the other families affected by this tragedy. There were 4 people who died in the crash last night. Praying for comfort for all of them.

I knew them. They were my neighbors when I lived in Fort Bragg, NC. Frank was gone for a year to Afghanistan. She was pregnant with her first child, Zoey. Then we parted ways and I haven't seen her since. I heard about her husband thru a mutual friend on Facebook. Since her and I don't speak I couldn't give her my condolences. But she is the kindest human being ever. And from what I knew of Frank, he was nice. Gosh that was back in 2000!!
