Our Service Projects

Marissa has lead all of WISDOM this month by example. She decided to donate 35 cm (about 14 inches) of hair to a Polish foundation called Rak n Roll that takes hair donations and makes wigs for women dealing with cancer. The money that we raise will go toward various programs this company has in place for helping women and their families throughout the whole process of cancer treatment and life after.

For our August service project WISDOM decided to help fund one of our own sisters and the first member of WISDOM– Adaora Elonu. Adaora has started the ADA [add-ah] Foundation which is an organization that puts on girls basketball camps in Nigeria but basketball is just the tip of the iceberg. They use basketball to get in but then they also supply school supplies, feminine hygiene products, and health education. A future goal is to get into shelter and school visits as well as food distribution.

This month we helped raise money for the Pregnancy Center which is a safe place where their motto is “Grace Wins”. They are unapologetically Christ followers and are able to share the Gospel to all the women that walk through their doors. They rely fully on donations and are debt-free so every donation they get is funneled right back into helping women who are dealing with unexpected pregnancy. The free services they offer women are:

👶🏼Pregnancy Test & Ultrasounds: 85% of women who see their baby on an ultrasound will choose life.
👶🏼Options Counseling: they will be walked through and educated about each option they have- parenting, adoption, and abortion. The Pregnancy Center does not coerce the women to do anything but give them all the information so the women can choose.
👶🏼 Parenting classes: when a woman chooses life they are fully supported in learning how to be a parent.
👶🏼First Steps: a 7 week course on how to prepare their lives for the new life.
👶🏼Baby Boutique: when the new mothers attend the services they receive “mommy money” to spend here where they can acquire the things new mommies need.
👶🏼Birth Basics: a two session, 6 hour course that teaches the mothers all about labor and delivery

This month we had a request to help children in need. We raised money for an organization in Lincoln, NE called Foster Care Closet which also has other locations across the state of Nebraska. This organization understands that foster care is not a destination but a journey and they are with the child from start to finish. Check out their website for more information on who they are and what they do.

This year we are helped supply low-income families from a village close to Wrocław, Poland with Christmas presents. We “adopted” 31 children and sponsored each child. To sponsor a child fully meant to give $40 but being a partial sponsor was possible. No amount is inadequate because we have learned that through and with God all things are possible and the intentions of your heart will be rewarded.
