Hi. My name is Lisa Finneran. In 2004 my husband and I brought home twins. Niko and Lena are now 7 and in the first grade.

In the years since I founded ArkAngels for Russian Orphans, a 501c3 dedicated to raise money to improve the living conditions in orphanages in Russia.

We are currently running an auction to benefit the orphans. Bidding is open now, and continues through Dec. 12. You can check it out here:
ArkAngels for Russian Orphans - Auction Home Page - cMarket Fundraising Auction

More than 100 items are available for bid, and we will be adding more over the coming days. Featured items include an adoption/Russian-themed Christmas tree (value $425, minimum bid $100) and a trip for four to Disney World (value $8,358, minimum bid $4,500).

Other available items include: 27 toys, 31 books or collections, and 24 pieces of jewelry, along with artwork, gift certificates, electronics and a variety of other items. Minimum bids start as low as $5.

Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 to improve living conditions and educational opportunities for older orphans living in state care in Russia. To succeed we need your support!

Please check out our auction and pass the word to friends and family. There are plenty of auction items to go around!
