UPDATE: Meghan & Moses in Uganda

***UPDATE*** We've sold all the jambalaya we have! But if you still want to donate to this fantastic situation, follow the link to their blog and donate there. Thanks so much to my friends and readers! See yall Thursday. xo


Oh sweet readers!!!

Remember my friend Meghan? And her trip to get her 3 year old son Moses? Remember? Well TWO MONTHS LATER and she is STILL IN UGANDA!

Basically the court systems are still ironing out the new 'details' that will legally allow her and 25 other American citizens to return home with their children. But until then, they must remain in Uganda... it's been 2 months... and is likely to take even more time.

HOWEVER, Meghan has filed a 'new' adoption case citing medical concerns allowing her to adopt Moses in Uganda and bring him back to the states for treatment. This may allow her to return home with Moses sooner rather than later. But starting over from scratch with a new adoption case has it's stresses. One being the new legal fees and plane flight necessary to get her hubby, Chris, to Uganda to attend these necessary hearings.

So........... we plan on pitching in by making sure that The Matts have the money necessary to GET THIS DONE and get this mother and bebe HOME where they belong!

(If you look close, you can see his little dimple right there on the side of his cheek... Which makes Moses the third little boy with dimples that I'm officially in love with. :)

I'm SO EXCITED! YOU can help this sweet Momma and her precious family!

If you live in the Greater Baton Rouge Area, please consider purchasing a Jambalaya Lunch/Dinner this Thursday, March 18th.

Here are the official details taken from their website:

Bringing Moses Home!
Jambalaya Box Lunch Sale

$5.00 a box
We will deliver!

Meghan Matt has been in Uganda for 6 weeks battling for her son. She has been fighting to bring Moses home!

IT’S TIME!

On March 26th, Chris and Meghan will present their adoption case to a judge. He will see their complete and utter love for their child. He will be moved by the attachment Moses has to his Mommy. He will be touched by the extreme lengths The Matt’s have gone to have their son home where he belongs.

WE NEED TO GET THEM THERE!

The unexpected expenses of Meghan’s extended stay, adoption cost and flights have drained their savings. By ordering lunch you are helping Chris fly to Uganda. You will be helping him be with his wife and son as they prepare for their hearing. You will be bringing a mother and son home. You will be reuniting a family after nearly 2 months.

Ask your office, your church and family members if they would like to enjoy a wonderful lunch and be a blessing to a family at the same time. We will deliver for orders of 5 or more box lunches. Please comment below with your name, phone number, email address, number of boxes and if you would like to have your lunch delivered. We will contact you for directions if you choose to have your lunch delivered.

Yippee!!!

So! For $5 bucks you don't have to worry about making dinner AND you get to make a difference that will change a life!

Well, I suppose you would change more than a life- but lives (mine included) :) I'm just ready to meet this little.man and I know for a fact that he has new shoes waiting in his closet right now that are meant for his feet! And I, of all people, know how fast boys grow (!!!) We've GOT to get this bebe home before his feet get too big. :)

***If any of my ZACHARY/CENTRAL readers want to order a lunch/dinner let me know! I'll bring it to you!!!

We are going to do whatever we can to bring our friends HOME!!!

Besides, I'm ready to start planning a 'Welcome Home Meg & Moe' party. I want to hear his laugh for myself and see his pearly.white smile in person!!! :)

***And if you are outside of our city, that stinks because WE HAVE THE BEST FOOD EVER here in South Louisiana! Fact.

But if you feel compelled to donate regardless, bring it Sugar! :) I know they have a paypal account set up at meghanmatt@gmail.com
