Adopting is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I have many wonderful friends and family who are adopted. I consider the people who adopt and give children to be true angels. My own life would not be the same if these angels have not touched the people I love. There is no more self -less act then knowing you are unable to provide the best environment for your child and then allowing another to care for them. Then the other angels (the adoptive family) taking on a child and caring as if they are are blood; came from there womb. There is no greater gift to a child than accepting them in to your home and changing the course of there lives.
These people of and around adopting children are Angels in my life and always will be!
So when Wendy’s asked me to spread the word about the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption (DTFA, ) on Father’s Day weekend (June 16 & 17) promotion to benefit the cause I was all in … 50-cents from each Frosty purchase will be donated to DTFA. It is this weekend tomorrow and Sunday Fathers Day!
These donations will be used to benefit the cause of Wendy’s Wonderful Kids, which is a program that helps foster children in need find great homes.
So how can you help?
There are so many ways to donate! Check them out and be sure to pass them on!
1. Buy any Frosty product: On Saturday, June 16 and Sunday, June 17, for each Frosty product purchased, participating Wendy’s will donate 50-cents to Wendy’s Wonderful Kids. This signature program of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption is dedicated to finding permanent adoptive families for children in foster care. (includes the original, parfaits, shakes and floats)
