Introducing . . . ALEM TOTE 2010~$40

The Alem Tote is named in honor of Alem Amensisa. One of the most incredible experiences of my life was when I met my sons’ birth mother. When I asked her what her hopes are for the boys’ futures her response was simple…. “I come from nothing, anything is better than what I can do!” As I sat across the table from Alem, holding her sons in my arms, I tried to decipher my whirlwind of emotions. As a mother to 4 daughters I was overwhelmed by the weight of her choice. The depth of her sacrifice is still beyond comprehension. The love this woman has for her children is the most selfless in existence. I cannot express the intensity of my gratitude to Alem for giving my family the gift of two sons. Not a day goes by that I do not look at my boys and think of the significance of her offering. I am so thankful for her and I will cherish the memory of our embrace forever. In honor of Alem and her sacrifice, I am committing myself to the care of orphans in Africa; you have not been forgotten!
