GO Project Family 5K

Before heading to the GO Project Family 5K, I had the honor of speaking to my school at an assembly about my mission to help orphans around the world. I was blessed to share my heart and my passion with my school. My entire 3rd grade class is going to be working to help collect items for the Global Orphan Project for an upcoming trip! It is fun to share my story of orphan care with more people who are excited about helping in any way they can!


GLOBAL ORPHAN FAMILY 5K RUN/WALK

This year we participated in the team challenge...

our team name = REDFORD RACERS!

We raised over $1500 for my goal of a future home in India...

I had a booth at the Run/Walk selling my cards.

My friend Cara came to run and support the Redford Racers Team! After the earthquake in Haiti last year, Cara held a talent show and raised over $5000 to build a home in Port au Prince! Another team mate, Brian Nagel.

We were so blessed to get to see him and his family over the weekend. Mom, Ann Morrison, Cara Morrison, and me!
Once again this year, we were all out for the Fox Hunt! Mike Fox, the founder of GO Project, started 2 minutes ahead of the runners. Everyone who passed Mike during the run received a fun prize! John Michael, my brother, really wanted to catch Mike - he was ready to go, but at 35 degrees - the cold got the best of him. It was freezing!!! I was shivering for 4 hours...


Here he is on dad's shoulders as the race began.
My dad finishing strong.
Mike Fox, Dad, Alan Dietrich, Scott
Fellow teammate, John Stone, and also my Papa.
More teammates - the Willis Family! We love you guys....thanks for supporting the Redford Racers. We are so excited for your upcoming trips to Haiti! You will be blessed.


It's not to late to support my efforts for another orphan home. If you'd like to help me reach my goal of $5000 for a future home in India, you can order cards through the link on the upper right of this page, or send donations directly to the Global Orphan Project with a note specifying donation for "Isabelle's homes". THANK YOU!!!!

Why I Love Orphans

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!!! I feel this year will be full of promise and God's blessings.  Lately, I have been thinking about the true reason behind why I help orphans.  My work for Him comes from three main principles:  1.  Wait for HIS timing. Waiting on Him requires patience, it's not always easy, but who said following God and having patience would be easy? 2.  TRUST His plan for me. Trusting in Him is the basics of faith!  When you trust Him, you are showing Him you believe in and want His plan for your life. 3.  I couldn't let a problem go UNANSWERED.  After hearing about orphans and the daily struggles in their lives, I couldn't just stand back and watch.  I wanted to do something more.  Helping orphans, I believe is what God is asking me to do, now and in my future life.  These children mean to much to me, as a teenager I know what it means to have a good home, a warm bed and nice clothes. They don't have that ...

World Mandate 2012

"Worship God, Change the World!"  World Mandate 2012 Waco, TX 5,000 people, awesome worship, amazing speakers, rich times of prayer, hilarious laughter, and IMPACT NOW - a creative place to engage and do something to CHANGE THE WORLD! We love the vision, the heart, the passion behind World Mandate - it's a place to catch vision, to be inspired, and to be moved into action for God's purposes in the world. In September 2011, Isabelle designed a WM exclusive card in order to raise funds to build a home in Rukore Village, Uganda.  She sold out of the 300 boxes and we had to take orders for more.  The home was built in March 2012 and the children have moved in!  This completed her 9th home!! This year for WM, Isabelle designed a new card based on photos she'd seen of the home in Rukore, Uganda.  We took 400 boxes - that's 4000 cards to sell with all of the proceeds going to the life care costs for the children living in that home for 3 years. ...
