Our First Fundraiser...Baby Bottle Fundraiser

Do you want to help us bring our baby girl home??? We need your help!!! Here is the flyer that I'm planning on passing out to any and everyone we know!!! A friend that I talked to today was very discouraging and thinks I'm crazy for setting our goal at 100 people a month, but when I really stop to think about it...it's not that many. I hope to find 20 people a month that I know commit to finding 5 others that they know to do it as well. Everyone has family members and friends and I'm just hoping they will all want to help out! Besides...God is bigger than my lofty goals!!! We need to raise $25,000, so if anyone has other ideas...we're all for them!!!

Here is a sample note of what we will be handing out with the bottles...

Have you ever gotten a phone call from God???

On May 16, 2007 the Moleski family did!!!

For two weeks prior to this call, we were praying and asking God what He wanted us to do for the people of Guatemala and on that day…we found out.

The phone call was our adoption agency calling to tell us that Hannah’s birth mom had just had a baby girl and they wanted to know if we were interested in keeping the girls together. Our hearts immediately said “yes”, but our wallet said “NO”. We decided we would pray about it and that if it was God’s plan for our lives, we would trust Him for the money. We prayed and God gave us a CLEAR answer. It is an AMAZING story!!! We know without a doubt that bringing Hannah’s sister into our family is HIS plan, but we need your help!

We need to raise a substantial amount of money to bring “Baby Sister #2” home. We have swallowed our pride and have decided that we will do whatever it takes to bring this baby girl home.

If you would like to help…we have many ways, here is one…

We are asking that you take this baby bottle and fill it with your spare change. At the end of the month we will collect the bottle with the change in it and see how close we are to our goal. We are hoping to pass out 100 bottles each month until she comes home!!! If you know anyone else that would be interested in joining us…please let us know.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and financial support. It has been amazing to watch God’s faithfulness as we have stepped out on faith to begin this exciting journey!!! We are so thankful God has called you to help!!!

We hope to start passing these and the bottles out on the 4th of July....then collect the first set at the end of the month.
Please pray that we find others who would like to join us on this journey!!!!!
