Brady

Hi there! Remember that last post about Brady? Well, check out what is going on over at Cap Creations to bring Brady home! If you make or create a neat product your help is needed!

Brady Scrap Kit

The Stuff to Scrap Designers came together to create this charity collab to help bring home a little boy named Brady. Shelby, of Jenasis Design, is friends with the family that is trying to adopt this precious little boy. Below the previews of the kit, you will find information that Shelby has posted about Brady and the family who is trying to share their home with him.

This kit is not just any ordinary kit; it is for an amazing cause and an amazing little guy that needs a family, a home, and someone to love and care for him. The Hartman family, are in the process of adopting the sweet boy below. They feel called to rescue this little boy "Brady" from a mental institution in Eastern Europe. Because he has Downs Syndrome, Brady was abandoned at birth, just like the majority of children with any sort of disabilities in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. lt is standard procedure when these children turn between 4-6 years old (depending on region) that they are transferred from Orphanages to full blown Mental Institutions. This transfer is very traumatic, and many times these children suffer and sometimes die due to the conditions. Brady has already been transferred and The Hartmans are trying to get to him as quickly as possible. So I told this sweet family that I would ask the girls at "Stuff to Scrap" to Help!! The cost of this adoption is well between $20,000- $30,000 and so we just want to be able to contribute a little toward that huge amount. The amazing designers at "Stuff to Scrap" have put together an awesome collaboration that can be used to donate to this great cause. All proceeds from the sell of *Brady* goes directly to the Hartman's adoption fund.

Please consider helping in this amazing endeavor to BRING BRADY HOME!!
