Michael and Jill Sayre started the “Following Yonder Star Family Fund” to help other families who are taking steps to care for orphaned children. The initial gifts to the fund were given on Mother’s Day 2011 to honor their mothers, Liz and Jenelle, (known to their kids as “Oma” and “Grandma”), who have been a wonderful gift and blessing to Michael, Jill, and their three boys.
The Sayre family is humbled by, and grateful for, all the love and support they have received from friends, family, and co-workers throughout their own adoption journey and hope that the Following Yonder Star Family Fund can help other families complete their adoptions in the coming years – especially those families adding children with special needs to their existing families.
To DONATE BY MAIL, please make out the check to ABBA Fund (do not write the family name on the physical check, which will invalidate the charitable aspect of your gift ... instead either print out this page to send with it or include a separate note to request that we preference your gift toward the family profiled on this page) -- then mail your check and preference request to:
ABBA Fund, PO BOX 868049, Plano, TX 75086-8049

**AN IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION FROM ABBA FUND ABOUT YOUR DONATION**
Using the online form on this page automatically submits a request to preference your gift to the family profiled on this page as part of ABBA Fund’s Christian Family Adoption Grant Fund. ABBA Fund administers this fund and maintains full control and administration of all donated funds. We also strive to honor our donor’s preference requests in accordance with IRS and Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) guidelines.
The IRS allows donors to state a preference of how their contribution is used and request that the gift support a particular family — and it allows the charitable organization (ABBA Fund) to fully consider that request as long as the donor understands and acknowledges for charitably given tax-deductible gifts that the ultimate authority regarding the disposition of your gift is at the discretion of the charitable organization. By using this online form, or other method described above, you are acknowledging an understanding of those IRS guidelines.
