We are just beginning our journey but we know we are going to need at least $35,000.00 if not more because of the in country stay required. Having already borrowed everything we can to do our "adoption addition" to our house as well as desiring to be debt free..fund raising is a must and so it begins...we currently have several small fundraisers braclets $2 ea or 3/$5 and car decals $10 (these can also be stuck on books, furniture, walls whatever...)with the phrase "Support Deaf Orphans".
We have set up a savings account, but are working on some other options as well (will update soon).
So how can you help..pick up a jar...We currently have jars that we want to pass out to family and friends. We call them the loose change laundry jars....you know how men never clean out their pockets and there is tons of loose change. We are asking you to collect that for us!
We are also checking into making a cookbook and having a massive garage sale! So send us your favorite family recipe, go through your closets and donate us the junk you don't need!
Host a bake sale, craft sale, or have an awesome party and sell tickets letting people know the the money is going to help bring a child home! Get creative and please share our blog with everyone you know! We will be updating progress of our house, our life and the status of our adoption process!
If you feel God leading you to help please don't hesitate. So many of our friends are talented in so many diverse areas so we are asking you please use your skills and help us reach our goal to bring our son home! This is more than we can accomplish alone but together I know God will unite us as the body of Christ to help the fatherless. Help us give a child the forever family he so desires and share the love of Christ!
Thank you for being willing to make a difference!
