~We met our goal!~ Giveaway Ends Tonight!!!! Enter while you can!!!
Notice I said in the title "we" met our goal!!! I don't just mean our family! I'm talking about a whole crew of ladies who helped us to meet this goal!!! Some adoptive families, some wanting to adopt, some who are advocates of adoption!!!! These ladies pulled together and made sure we were not missing out on our goal or our $1,000 matching grant!!!! So shortly, you will see our grant go up $1,000 more dollars thanks to Sue (the donor) and all of the ladies who have helped me this entire time! I am so grateful that God has given me these new wonderful people to share out experiences with and to go through this process together with!
That being said, let me be clear that while we have came a long, long way....we are not finished. We are just now getting half way funded when I count the grant and the return of promise trust fees in the end. We. Still have right at $9,000 to go before I could say we are fully funded! I am completely shocked to be honest that we are already half way funded but I am trying to remember and to relay to the best of my ability that we still need everyone who has helped to please, if you can, continue to do so! As you know, we are adopting TWO children now and we need this funding to come in desperately and we are working so hard to fundraise and do anything we can to ensure we are funded to bring these girls home. Both of them!!!! I will not stop working to get these girls home until they are here! I hope you all will stick this out with us and please continue to support us in our efforts of saving these sweet girls! If you know of anyone else who would be willing to do matching grants please let us know, they can get tax deductions through RR for this!
Now back to the giveaway! Our giveaway is still going but only through the night! It will end as scheduled originally (tonight at 11:59 p.m. pacific time). I will announce the winner shortly after that. The winner will be picked using random.org just as with the iPad on our first giveaway. Like I said above, even though we met our goal for the matching grant that doesn't mean we are finished! We are only half there! Please donate and don't miss your chances to win an iPad or $500 cash (your choice)!!! There are other perks too!!! Please go to the top of my blog and click the tab beside of the "home" tab that pertains to the giveaway. There you will find details!!! Thank you all so much and good luck!!!
Hooray! So glad we met our goal! We got this far, God will get us through all the way to the end!
ReplyDeleteYay. My reluctant dh said I can share with you. :) I donated $35 to your FSP.(I hope that was the right place to be entered for the giveaway...)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't quite tell if that qualified for a blanket or not BUT if so, please take it with you to donate or share with some other need. I really don't need another. :)
