JESSICA CHOCO: Hello,
I'm Jessica Choco.
And I am excited to
be standing in front
of the Daulton family's brand
new fifteen passenger van.
You may remember
we introduced you
to the Daulton family
a few months ago.
They have one biological
and eight adopted children,
all with Down Syndrome.
After meeting
them, we discovered
they had an immediate need
for a new family vehicle.
Not only does their current van
have well over 200,000 miles,
and needs mechanical repairs,
but the family doesn't all fit.
They need to take
two vehicles just
to transport everyone, which
is why 700 Club interactive
and Orphans Promise teamed up
to launch the Daulton family van
fund.
And thanks to your
generous contributions,
we exceeded our goal.
And today we'll be delivering
this 15 passenger Sprinter
van to the family.
But they have no
idea it's coming.
Well, we have hidden the van
in a nearby neighborhood.
And the Daultons
think that we're
going to go talk to them
about fund raising updates.
What they don't know is they're
going to get the van today.
Let's go see what
they have to say.
Well, it's great
to see you again.
It's good to see you, Jessica.
And how excited are
you that we not only
reached the fundraising
goal, but we exceeded it?
That's so amazing.
It's so amazing.
I'm blown away by this.
It's just-- only God.
How has this
affected your faith?
It's just one more time that
God has shown himself able.
One more time, he's done it
so many times in my life.
And it's just, wow.
And what will it be
like to have everybody,
the whole family, all the kids
in one vehicle going to church,
going to bowling,
going to therapy,
what does that mean to you?
It means everything.
It means everything.
Because we love--
we love our family.
We love to take them places.
We love to show them
off because this world
needs these children.
This world needs
to see our kids.
They're such an
example of God's love.
So many people who have
seen the fundraising
drive and have become
interested in us
and people just excited
about our family,
getting to know more about
kids with Down Syndrome.
Can understand the special
love that they bring.
And it's just--
this is the message
we want to bring to the world.
This is what's in our hearts.
And this has been
a medium not just
for providing this
tremendous van,
but it's been wow,
off the charts as far
as making people aware of
how great these kids are.
From Seven CI Cares, Orphan's
Promise and the Daulton family,
thank you!
What is that?
Oh my goodness.
Oh no!
Look at that.
Whoa.
No way.
Look at this, guys.
Look at that.
Wow.
Oh my goodness.
Look.
I got clearance.
Look, it's got a sky-- This van
is going to last us 30 years.
It may be the last one that
we ever need for our family.
So this is the real blessing.
So this is something
that is going to be there
for us for a long time.
From Seven CI Cares, Orphan's
Promise and the Daulton family,
thank you!
