Victoria's Adventures in Kazakhstan

I can't believe how fast the days are passing!. I'm also amazed some days at the amount of work needed to make the vision a J127 Ranch reality. But I am pleased to announce that thanks to much hard work from Cindy Lajoy and Kim Floyde at Aspenglow Services the J127 Ranch website - www.j127ranch.org is now live.

Beth and I are humbled and thankful for all of you who are stepping forward to be part of the vision to engage, enrich and empower orphan children in the Taraz area of Kazakhstan.

One amazing couple has stepped forward and offered a Matching Grant. They are offering $5000.00 each for Beth and me toward the $14,000.00 we each need to apply for permanent residency. We are amazed and overwhelmed by this donor's support and generosity.

There are several reasons why permanent residency is so important. One of the major obstacles of staying long term in Kazakhstan is the Visa. With permanent residency we will not need to continually re-apply for a new Visa.

In addition to the benefit of not needing to frequently leave the country to apply for a new visa, permanent residency offers us the ability to purchase and own property. Without property our J127 project is on hold. With this gracious matching gift, we have the possibility of applying for permanent residency and of soon owning property.

So, for all of you who feel called to be part of this vision, here is a great opportunity to jump start the whole project. Come help us to double this $10,000.00 grant. With your help, the $10,000 will become $20,000 towards the $28,000.00 we need for permanent residency. Your donation, in whatever amount, will be matched up to $10,000.
