Crowdfunding Challenge Launched For Mother’s Day Week

Miracle Foundation Helping OrphansSocial entrepreneur Carolin Boudreaux of The Miracle Foundation, is teaming up with crowdfunding site Indiegogo  and UNICEF Ambassador Tea Leoni to celebrate great moms a different way: by bringing joy to kids who don’t have one.

The “Orphans Over Orchids” Global Challenge aims to raise $100,000 by Mother’s Day, May 12th, to quickly and successfully transform an entire struggling orphanage. This will vastly improve lifelong outcomes for 100 boys and girls with trackable results like clean water, better food, good healthcare, smart life skills training, tutoring, a cozier environment–  and hugs from loving and well-trained housemothers.

“With a few clicks, people anywhere in the world can join Orphans Over Orchids, get (or request) a meaningful gift, and make a powerful difference for parentless kids,” says Leoni, whose grandmother founded UNICEF.

Miracle FoundationCrowdfunding is a quick and anonymous way for people to go online safely and donate to appealing projects at home and abroad– without ever being asked for more. They catch fire quickly when they strike a chord, and donors tweet and post on Twitter and Facebook.

Orphans Over Orchids donors get a beautifully designed Mother’s Day e-card, which can be downloaded and printed or emailed to the recipient.

“We are proving that it’s possible to conquer corruption and make sure orphans everywhere can do more Caroline Boudreaux of Miracle Foundationthan survive– they can totally thrive and contribute to their communities as adults,” says Boudreaux, who founded The Miracle Foundation in entrepreneurial Austin, after a chance encounter with an abandoned toddler in rural India–on Mother’s Day 2000– while on a carefree vacation overseas.

Boudreaux thinks people are looking for new ways to honor mothers and make a positive impact on the next generation.  In fact, she is prepared to uplift a second new orphanage if they exceed their goal.

“Is there anything a mother or grandmother loves more than big smiles from happy children?” she says. “That’s the miracle we can deliver for Mother’s Day, guaranteed.”
