Next Steps
Show Hope Fundraisers
As you learned about in Pause Campaign, one of the greatest barriers for families in the adoption process is the financial barrier. By raising funds for Show Hope, you can help fund our Adoption Aid and Medical Care grants. Fundraisers can be unique and special. You can donate your birthday, host a movie night, do a bake sale, etc. If you’re interested in learning more about fundraising, email us at pause@showhope.org.

CAFO OVC Discount Code
OVC (Orphans and Vulnerable Children) Essentials is an eight-week online course from a partner organization Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAFO).

CAFO has provided Pause participants with a special discount code to make the course $25.
If you are interested in receiving this code, email us at pause@showhope.org.
Local Community Opportunities
To learn how you can make a difference now, do some research. Search using terms like “adoption support” or “foster care support” + YOUR CITY, STATE.
One of the most impactful next steps you can take is to find a foster or adoptive family in your community or church and provide wrap-around support for them. Some ideas include taking them a meal, picking up their groceries, helping with lawn care, providing free childcare, etc. If you need help finding a family, reach out to your pastor or church staff member to see if they know a family who could benefit from your support.
Additional Media Materials
Download intro slides for presentations and Pause Campaign logo images for the group to use, and post before they begin the fast from various social media platforms.
Students can upload these lock screens as their phone background to help them remember why they decided to participate in Pause Campaign and to serve as an encouragement during their week-long social media fast.
