Ohio Internet Startup Wants to Send Adopted Kids to Disneyland
Dayton, OH (PRWEB) August 12, 2013 -- When MyEndoShop learned that a family opened storefronts on their affiliate marketing platform and were planning to use the money they earned to grow their childrens’ college funds or take a trip to Disneyland, MyEndoShop decided to make sure the money they earned went toward their college education. The social shopping platform’s founder, Russ Gottesman, decided to help the parents out while at the same time encouraging them to tell people about the company. When the families offered up a video of their adorable children, playing excitedly while jumping on a bed, the MyEndoShop team captioned it for YouTube to help drive traffic to their startup. Now, if the families’ social networks and friends can send enough views to the video, MyEndoShop will foot the bill to send the kids that star in it to Disneyland. How many views do the families need? A cool million.
So what spurred the interest in these two families? The video was filmed at a party celebrating the adoption of two of the five children in the video. For over a year, Jeff and Tammy Dietrich have been caring for three children who had been bounced around in the foster care system for far too long. The two oldest had been separated from their younger brother for the first year of his life and Jeff and Tammy became passionate about reuniting them. After seeking and receiving permission from the state to take in all three children together, they worked for the next year to realize the adoption. “We fell in love with all three of these children the moment we met them,” Tammy said. “We knew God wanted us to keep them together.” The addition of the three children make them a family of six, including a four year old girl they had adopted two years earlier. The adoption of the three siblings took place on the anniversary of the four year old’s adoption in 2011.
“Several times a week, at least one of them asks when we can go to Disney,” Tammy said. “After searching the web, we realized it’s going to take lots of saving and quite a while before we can afford to get there. MyEndoShop providing a way to make a little extra money was very nice. But having something like this given to us would be a blessing beyond words.”
Also appearing in the video are Tammy’s brother’s children. Her brother, Tony Hall, is a pastor in Columbus. He and his wife, Shawna, have five children of their own, ranging in age from three to twelve.
