This summer I met and helped a wonderful family to purchase their fist home. When I met them they were in the beginning stages if the adoption process. Adopting a child is a very lengthy and is quite costly.
They found a home that will give them a permanent, safe place to raise a family. They now turn to our community to help them move forward in providing a home for a needy child.
There will be a benefit concert and silent auction Featuring the Folk music of Randy and Jenny Jones. All proceeds and donations will go to the Spence Family. Donations can still be received after the concert.
Concert will be November 8th
at 7pm
2304 Zanker Road
San Jose, CA 95131
