Check out our HUGE new fridge!!!

Can you believe this fridge!?!?  I don't think I've ever seen a bigger, more beautiful fridge in my life! (or at least not in the Dominican Republic).  It is GRANDOTE (kinda like my belly these days!)  Our current fridge is about 1/3 of this size.  Since our appliances have been on loan from Jarabacoa Christian School where Dave and I have been teaching these past 2 years and we need to return them at the end of the school year, we are now looking for these appliances to replace for the safehouse and are feeling so blessed about this first donation.

This refrigerator was donated by Vision of Hope United Methodist Church in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  We are so happy and thankful for the donation of this fridge to our new safehouse!  It's all ready to fill up with lots of food for the very pregnant lady house full of teenage girls. ;)  Thank you again for this donation!  We are so excited about each step that brings us closer to being ready to open our safehouse for girls in need!!

If YOU would like to make a donation to our safehouse, individually or with your family, sports team, church, school, workplace, or other organization, please email me at kristin.deyoung@gmail.com so we can discuss this together!  We also would be ready to help you with hosting a fundraiser in your hometown if you are interested.

The following are some items we still need/want for the safehouse:

• ·         Pillows, blankets, sheets
• ·         Stove/oven
• ·     Washing machine
• ·         Bed (queen sized bed for house parents Kristin and Dave)
• ·         Dresser
• ·         Patio Table
