Simon Oh Simon!


This is Simon.


He needs a family.

He's bright.

He's friendly.

He's sweet natured.



Did I say he needs a family??
 
 
Please watch this video!!!
 
 
LET HIM STEAL YOUR HEART!!!


Is there anyone out there who has room at their table for a boy who is aging out THIS YEAR?

He is one of our twelve Mulligan Stew babes.

I just can't imagine exiling this child to a mental institute for the rest of his life.

Oh Simon. Praying hard a family finds you!

THESE ARE THE RULES:
Simple Math - Every five dollars donated earns you one entry into our giveaway!!!

To enter, here's what you have to do:

FIRST.... You have to pick at least ONE of the families and make a donation into their grant account.

SECOND....You have to pick at least ONE of the waiting children below and make a donation into their grant account.

THIRD... You have to leave a comment WITH YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME letting me know which of the families you donated to and which of the waiting children. Make sure to give me the total amount donated. Because I always moderate my comments, I will be able to keep this information private if you ask me to leave it private. if you prefer not to leave a comment, you can e-mail me at covenantb@yahoo.com


THAT'S IT.... YOU ARE OFFICALLY ENTERED WITH JUST THOSE TWO DONATIONS...

We will let it be between you and the Lord the size of your gift.

BUT DON'T STOP THERE....

FOURTH.... You will also earn one entry for each additional family and/or waiting child you donate to. For example, a $50 donation spread among 3 families and 2 waiting children earns you 15 entries: 50/5 = 10 entries for the money, and 1 entry each for the families/children! So spread the love around!!!!

FIFTH.... You also get entries if you donate to the Lost Boys through Harvest International. Directions are below!
SIXTH.... You can also earn entries into the giveaway for SHARING! So share away. Share on Twitter. Share on FB. Share on your blog!!
When our Mulligan Stew Giveaway ends, we'll choose a winner for each prize by drawing random numbers from random.org. The more entries there are beside your name, the more chances you'll have to win something great!

  1. Um . . . something doesn't add up. I entered all of the above figures into an Excel spreadsheet so I can keep track of the progress better. When I tallied my column for the amounts in each fund for today, I came up with $5,931, which is $719 MORE than what you listed at the beginning of your post! (I came up with $4,314 for yesterday, which is $674 MORE than what you had.)

  3. Hi Julia, so happy you are doing the Mulligan Stew again this year. I donated 15 dollars to Frank, 100 dollars to Jack and Jensen's family and I shared on facebook about the fundraiser. God Bless!

  4. Thanks for doing another Stew!

    We donated $100 to the Taylor Family (Sara and Samuel). Another $100 to Jon and Angela (Jack and Jensen). $101 to the Johnson Family (four brothers)- my five year old came in while I was making the donations and she wanted to give $1 of her allowance to the family adopting the four brothers. And then $25 to Aubree.
