HOW CAN I HELP?

God has blessed us with an incredible gift; 5 precious newborns to care for.  We are both amazed and overwhelmed by this privilege and responsibility.  We are seeking partners and helpers for this incredible task, and we invite you to consider supporting us in some small or large way.  We trust that God has the resources to provide the support our family will need.  If you are interested in helping support us in any way, please email us at socalquints@gmail.com.  We are so grateful for your consideration, care and support.  John & Meryl Ferraro
