Our Adoption ~ One Last Fundraiser!
|
I know, it's been FAR too long since I've posted! I apologize!! Now that Fall is officially here, and we're getting back into the swing of things, I do plan to share more here! The big thing I want to share right now has nothing to do with our school or family activities. It has to do with the adoption that we are currently neck deep in! I'm not sure if I've even posted on this blog about us adopting again, but we are! We are adopting a baby from Taiwan! If you'd like to read all about it, we have an adoption blog at http://helpbringbabyhome.blogspot.com/ . You can read how this adoption came about a bit differently than Ana's, and why Taiwan! But what I want to tell you about now, is a fundraiser we are having this next Monday-Wednesday (Sept. 28th-30th). We have posted it as an "event" on Facebook, but we also have announced it on our adoption blog. This is the push for the last bit of money that we need, and we'll need it soon! We have heard that our baby may be born in the next week or two!!! Once we accept the referral for our baby, we have to submit the last big chunk of money. (Plus we'll have travel and living expenses while there, but that won't happen for a few more months.) I have copied the information about our fundraiser and pasted it below. We have some great things to give away to those that donate! Please pass the word on! Word of mouth is the best advertising!! We know God will provide, He has so far! But the more people that know, the more people He can use to help give this sweet baby a forever family!! Thanks for reading!!! ~~ "OK, we are really close to having what we need to finish up this adoption!!! We only need about $4000 more! The rumor is, there are a couple of birth mom's due the first week of October! One of those two babies could be ours!! So I'm trying to raise the last bit that we will need to complete this journey!! To learn more, go to http://helpbringbabyhome.blogspot.com/ . Here's what we are going to do! On Monday, Sept. 28th through Wednesday, Sept. 30th, we are going to have a "Power Fundraiser!" And here's the great part, everyone that donates has a chance to receive an awesome gift!! Here's the great gifts we have to give away so far (I hope to be adding pictures of these gifts sometime this week!): * 4 of MercyMe's 10 CD/DVD ~ signed by the group! (Their latest release commemorating 10 years of great hits!) * 2 beautiful handmade quilts! * A beautiful gift basket filled with wonderful items from Montana by Western Country Gift Baskets! (retail $45.00) * A $50 American Express Gift Card donated by Send Out Cards! * A gorgeous, rustic wall shelf (retail $45.00) * 2 of my custom made bags from Denice's Creations! (1 medium ~ retail $49.00. 1 small ~ retail $39.00) * $25 gift card from Starbucks! I also have a couple of other items that people are working on possibly donating as well! Our goal is to have at least a dozen items (or more!!) to give away!! If you have ANY ideas of other items, or you could donate an item, please contact me at gusfamily7@q.com . Here's how it's going to work! ~ * Donate $10 ~ you get one chance to win one of these wonderful prizes! * Donate $50 ~ you get seven chances to win! * Donate $100 ~ you get 15 chances to win! Prizes will be drawn and announced Thursday morning, October 1st, here! (http://helpbringbabyhome.blogspot.com/) I will be having a reminder for this event a couple of days ahead of time. Please mark your calendars!!! PLEASE invite as many people as you can!! ;-) Blessings! And thank you for your continued prayers!" ~~  |
