Nelson County family seeking help to earn adoption funds

BARDSTOWN, Ky. (WAVE) - A Nelson County couple looks to community help for adoption help.

Lauren and Daniel Brussell hope a campaign to raise awareness about adoption provides help for them, and other couples looking to adopt.

The Brussells live in Nelson County.

Lauren battled stage 3 colon cancer as a high school senior.

After she and Daniel married, they said doctors recommended against a natural conception. They decided to consider adoption.

The Brussells said they have an extended family that will be ready to help them welcome a baby.

The adoption process showed them how expensive this can be, and are thrilled this campaign could help them afford adoption.

Fund The Nations, a T-shirt company that uses profits for fundraising, is offering families a chance to win funds to help afford an adoption.

The votes come in the form of sweatshirt or T-shirt purchases online.

If enough votes are received by 11:59 p.m. CST on Wednesday, they could qualify to win $30,000 toward their adoption.

There are 10 family finalists. Those who don’t receive the top prize will also receive funding assistance.
