Well...as most of you know...we don't have ANY money saved for this adoption because it was so out of the blue...but we felt God calling us to do it and are hoping that we will find the money for it!
We haven't even told most of our friends about this next adoption, but yesterday I sent an e-mail to a friend telling her and her response was..."What can I do to help?" I told her we would be having another Garage Sale and she wrote back that since she's getting married in two weeks, she would have a lot of stuff for it. Yesterday afternoon her mom calls to tell me that they are just finishing cleaning out her dad's house who passed away 6 months ago and we are welcome to anything that is left. Today, her sister calls to tell me that her nephew is moving to Germany and is bringing over everything he isn't taking with him and that she also has lots of stuff!!!
Can you see what is in our future???? HUGE GARAGE SALES!!!!! They are a ton of work, but we raised $3,000 for Hannah's adoption through having 2 Garage Sales. YIKES...I'm going to be a busy woman...not sure how I'll get it all done, but it is so exciting to see the faithfulness of God!!!
If anyone has any great ideas of fundraisers, we need to raise about $25,000...I know it sounds like a lot, but God is much bigger than a number!!!
We plan on having Garage Sales, a spaghetti dinner/auction, bottle and can drive and a baby bottle fundraiser where people collect their spare change in them for a month and donate it to our cause and we might write a letter to ask for help. We have a non-profit organization that we are working with so everyone's donations will be tax deductible. I never thought we would be asking for money, but we have swallowed our pride and decided that there are people out there that love us and want to help us out!!!
Thanks for all of your continued prayers!!!!!
