The winner of the Giving is Awesome contest is Mel & Jose! Congratulations! They were nominated by their sister-in-law, Heidi. Due to the sensitive nature of part of their story, I’m not going to share all of Heidi’s e-mail that nominated them, but I will give you a quick run down of their story:
While dealing with a family emergency, Mel and Jose were called upon to take into their custody 2 precious children – a 1 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. They (the children) were not in the best of health at the time, but Mel & Jose took them into their hearts and their home last December without question. A year later, Mel & Jose are now on the road to officially adopting both children and I couldn’t be more excited to extend to them the opportunity to have custom photography of their new “official” family!
Their story hit very close to home, as Mikel and I have a similar story in our family with one of Mikel’s brothers being called upon to do much the same thing. I am so excited to work with Mel, Jose, and their 2 youngins!
Thanks for all of the touching entries! It was hard to choose! I hope to be doing more giveaways like this in the near future – I love to help others in need!
xoxo,
Deena
