Fundraising:
We've had another incredibly blessed week with fund-raising! Every day this week another envelope arrived in the mail with a donation inside (getting the mail is my new favorite daily activity!) or another email update arrived in my inbox with a donation notification. Some donations come from dear friends of years past, other from new relationships we've developed over the past months or years. Every gift humbles us and fills us with gratitude! THANK YOU!
One family moved us especially deeply by deciding together to forfeit Christmas gifts this year and donate the money to us instead (still gives me chills). Amazing.
We're up to $7,685 received in donations/fundraising monies! Another week where all we can say is: WOW!!! We've been joyfully writing thank you cards every night. What huge blessings.
We've also had offers to help us with our fundraising meal and an offers to donate to our raffle!
I've ordered the last of my supplies for jewelry making and hope to *finally* have those available in a week or so!
Finances:
From the donations we've paid for: a $500 application fee.
From our funds we've paid for: our home study and our home-study review (because our home-study agency is separate from our placing agency). Total: $3,100
Which brings us to a total of $10790! (!!!) We're just over 30% of the way there! Thank you all for your support, be it through money or through prayer. You encourage us in ways that words cannot express.
