Adopt-A-Cot because Babies Lives Matter!

One of the impotant ways we would like to show you the impact of your support! This is a Family Reunion photo that was taken this past weekend at our TLC Germany annual reunion which our Founder, Thea Jarvis, attends. It is a visual testimony to the impact of the Jarvis family legacy. This is it. Look no further! These are TLC's German babies, all grown up. Individuals, families, communities impacted - and you have too, because it takes a village to raise a child. 

While things are always a bit of a struggle to make ends meet at the end of each month we are continually amazed at how our supporters seem to come out of the woodwork and carry us through!

Our Adopt-A-Cot supporters are a truly integral and valued part of the TLC family! And we just want you all to know how much we appreciate your commitment in supporting us each and every month. With this kind of loyal and ongoing support it makes our job of finding loving and responsible families for the precious little ones in our care that much easier.

One supporter at a time, you are each taking away a massive monthly financial burden off of our shoulders; allowing us to focus on what really matters! And we honour your faith in our cause! If you feel compelled please ask those in your network to join our Adopt-A-Cot famly!

Monthly contributions are great, but we also accept Annual contibutions in order to participate in the program! 

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Forever faithful, Forever grateful!

Yours sincerely,

Faith Abrahams

Time Flies When you're having fun!

The passed few months over Christmas, New Year and the back-to-school rush of January is always very chaotic at TLC. But sooo much fun! Even when we struggle to make it through from one month to the next it's hard to stop smiling and laughing when we are surrounded by so many precious children! Thank you to each an everyone of you who make it possible for us to keep food on the table, provide them a warm bed at night, and most importantly a loving home!

Since our last update we said goodbye to 3 precious children (2 being adopted and 1 reunited with family), and welcomed another 4, including a set of beautiful 7 month old triplets! We are so blessed to be their gaurdians while we look for the best permanent family for them. 

At the end of last year we had set a goal to reach an extra 120 Adopt-A-Cot members by the 31st of December last year. This would mean we would be getting a minimum of R50,000 a month (about $4183) in total through our Adopt-A-Cot campaign. While we didn't quite hit the target we made a fair effort and improved by 89 members! What a fantastic blessing!

We continue to strive for a larger support base that will help us improve the care we are able to give the little ones in our nursery and we call on all our exsisting supporters in helping us achieve this goal. If each one of our exsisting supporters could recruit a friend, family member or colleague to join our Adopt-A-Cot campaign our support base will be doubled! How amazing would that be! 

This year we are looking to launch our new "TLC Cot Crusaders" Ambassadors program, to formalize a program through which TLC supporters can fundraise and recruit new adopt-a-cot members on our behalf. If you are interested in joining please feel free to contact me for more details! 

That being said, we are so amazingly grateful for each and everyone of you in whatever capacity you are able to support us. Even though to some it may seem like a small contribution we value it immensely and can confidently testify to the power of crowdfunding. 

For any questions, comments or suggestions feel free to get in touch!

With Gratitude and Kind Regards,
