Love Drop

Last month the Love Drop Team raised over $13,000 (and 3 iPads!) to help two little boys with autism receive a service dog. They were beyond touched, and we did this in only 1 month - that's it. Everyone came together and gave a few bucks each to impact one family's life. If you were a part of it, THANK YOU!  You can check out the final video of us showing up to their house here - it's pretty cool.

This month we start all over again and rally behind Katie, a single mom out in Dallas battling not only two brain tumors so far (she's knocked out one, and currently working on the other), but who's also dealing with hydrocephalus. We'd love to bring the community her way, and make a huge dent in her medical bills.

Wanna help?  Here are 3 ways we could use you:

1. Give $1.00 - This is the best way to help out and join our team at the same time.
2. Join our blogger network - Blog about our Love Drops each month like I am :) It's easy, it's rewarding, and it REALLY helps spread the word (which in turn helps our families). Love Drop will give you all the content you need.
3. Give a gift or provide a service - Gift cards are always helpful. Places like Target, Safeway, gas stations, etc would definitely help them out.

Thanks for reading!  Here's to love, baby.

Drop Some Love

Once again the Love Drop team is attempting to make the difference in the lives of one family, and change the world along the way.

Let’s introduce Ethan and Alex. Both are autistic – I think every foster/adoptive is intimately familiar with the process of finding support, interventions and materials to help our children with their needs. This family is no different. They want their children to have the opportunity to grow and shine in the best possible way. They have been approved to receive a service dog, but the cost is nearly insurmountable. It’s a mind boggling amount of money to raise, especially while caring for three children! Our goal is to raise $13,000 so we can get them a highly trained service dog. And if possible, two iPads so they can speak again (they can't even say "I love you" to their mom -- these iPads allow them to get their voice back).

There are so many ways you can step in and help! Even $1.00 will help!

Last month the Love Drop Team raised over $2,500 and boxes after boxes of goods and items to help Jill and her family get through a hard time in their lives (homelessness & financial worries). We did this in 1 month. All 400+ people came together and gave a few bucks each to impact one family's life. If you participated in this, THANK YOU. The final presentation can be seen here. (It's pretty cool!)

Give a gift or provide a service - Gift cards (iTunes would be great!), two iPads (so we can help the boys speak again!), and anything else you think could help out.

Love Drop

Have you heard the word? Love Drop is just that… dropping love to those in need. Each month the members suggest a family they know who is in need. When one is chosen, the love starts dropping in. It could be in the form of money, good, or services… whatever you think would help. The sponsors are open for suggestions! The goal is to change the world, by changing one family a month. Believe me, it spreads! They’re not asking for much. Whatever you can spare – and by spare, I mean probably the amount you would hand someone at a freeway over pass, or find in your couch cushions. But added with a couple of hundred other people it makes a big difference. It’s not the amount of money, it’s the knowledge that someone else gives a damn.


Through out the month, the members will be working to raise as much support and awareness as they can and at the end of the month everything will be delivered to the recipient. On film.
And the next day, they’ll be starting over again.
