Back in June when I announced that we were bringing home #13, a dear bloggy friend wrote to me. She asked me for my email address associated with my Paypal account explaining that every month she wanted to dump some of her paycheck in it to help bring Vernon home. I was blown away by her generosity!! I’ve never even hugged her neck {yet}!
My friend although unable to adopt at this season in her life, loves the orphan and feels a compelling desire to help others bring home their treasures. God’s love in action – no doubt!!
And each month, our sweet friend Kristi has deposited a gift to help Vernon come home.
Well recently Kristi wrote to me with yet another idea.
She wondered if she could donate an Everyday Oil Kit {pictured below} from Young Living to the winner of a giveaway…which people can enter by donating ….I was dumbfounded! Taking her love for oils and sharing them with others in order to help our treasures come home. Wildly-generous friend!
Since it was her idea, I asked if she would word it for me and here’s what she wrote:
We will have a giveaway to allow our sweet friends to help us bring home PearlyBee and Vernon. We’re giving away a collection of Everyday Essential Oils from Young Living. For a donation of $10 you are partnering with us and as a result will have a chance to win the Everyday Essential Oil collection valued at $170.00 retail.

Thank you friends so very much for helping us bring these two treasures home…SOON!! And thank you Kristi for your generous heart!
We use Frankincense every single day, multiple times a day. We love, love, love it. We use most of the other oils daily as well. Frankincense and Thieves are my two favorites of all time!
Please, please, please feel free to share this post with your friends to help bring home Vernon and Pearl!
Lavender – another favorite!!
How fun! I’ve been wanting to try essential oils, but it’s so overwhelming to research. 🙂 Can I donate through your Adopt Together fundraiser page and be entered in this drawing for the oils? xoxo
Yes!! I actually was going to mention that on the blogpost…anyone wanting to donate to AdoptTogether can do that and have their $10 increments entered!! And if you are seriously wondering about the oils…I will send you my number – crazy, crazy stuff!! xo
Great!! I just donated through Adopt Together. 🙂 I’ve been looking at essential oils for awhile and there are so many to choose from at all different price points! I’ve learned that they should be therapeutic grade and I’ve learned a little about which oils are good for certain things. If I come up with specific questions, I will send you a message. 🙂 Thanks!
Thank you Amy!! You guys are such a blessing! And yay{!} for using oils…
So excited for you to bring home your newest loves! Hopping over to paypal now. 🙂
Thank you Amber!! Thank you so much!!
USA only?
That’s a great question! Yes, we have several people who support IVO/The Gem Foundation internationally through Paypal!! Thank you so much for asking!!
Donation made. So wonderful that you get to bring two more precious babies home!
THank you so much for helping bring our treasures home!! You’re awesome!!
So excited that we get a chance to be a part! We are beginning the journey of adopting from Colombia and the $ numbers are a little daunting, so I can’t imagine two at one time! I don’t have paypal though, can I send you a check? or person to person through chase bank?
Yes Esther! I would love you to be included in the drawing…and yes, you can send a check or directly to Chase. Actually our account is at Chase!! Here’s my email: APlaceCalledSimplicity@yahoo.com so we can figure it out!! And Yippee Jesus for adopting from Columbia.
