Because of Kennedy, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization

AIM 1: BRING ISABELLE HOME The Gleason’s have been in the adoption process for over 2½ years. It has been a incredible journey. They first saw pictures of Isabelle when she was just a few weeks old; now she is 15 months old. Isabelle is home and adjusting well. The Gleason’s also visited Brooklyn, their second daughter, whom they cannot wait to bring home early in 2011.
AIM 2: DONATE FORMULA, FOOD, & SUPPLIES We have identified a supplier in Ethiopia that will sell us powder baby formula at wholesale rate ($6 US/can). We purchased and donated 300 cans of baby formula and needed supplies in Ethiopia.
AIM 3: BUILD & SOLIDIFY PARTNERSHIPS We have developed many partnerships with orphanages, suppliers, and other NGO’s in Ethiopia; we hope to deepen these relationships. We believe that God’s hand has lead us to new partnerships that will expand the impact of Because of Kennedy in the lives of orphans and vulnerable children and families in Ethiopia.
The Gleason’s traveled to Ethiopia from July 29th to August 8th to bring home their adopted daughter Isabelle and used this trip as an opportunity to purchase and donate needed food and supplies to children in need and to continue to build in-country partnerships.
