Help Free Matt and Grace

Some of you may remember Matt and Grace. They are the Christian couple who adopted 3 children from Africa and one of them unfortunately passed away while they were working at Qatar. The Qatar government thought no Chinese couple would adopt Black children and thought it was a case of child trafficking gone wrong. They were found guilty of child endangerment and the conviction carries a three-year prison term.

The Innocence Project has been helping them. But according to Grace's sister, Joanne Chin, Matt and Grace desperately need your help. They have sold their home, emptied the bank accounts, and their families have liquidated assets and retirement savings. If you can help, please click on this link below to make a donation:

(PC stands for Public Charity)
