My heart was broken again this week. A group of bloggers left their families and their comfort zones to travel to the Dominican Republic with World Vision. It’s been interesting – and gut-wrenching – to read these women’s blogs as they share their hearts during this trip, because as moms, they have a perspective that’s so hard to face.
What if this were my life? What if I had to raise my kids like this? What if . . . ?
Whether you have kids or not, whether you sponsor any children or not, whether you can find the Dominican Republic on the map or not – I encourage you to read these posts.

Please consider sponsoring a child. Lisa Leonard is giving her Faith, Hope, Amor necklace to each new sponsor of a child in the DR (quantities are limited) with the hope that when you wear the necklace, you will be reminded of your child.
