Adoptions are expensive ~ Fundraising is hard! These are the two things I have learned this week. ;-)
Anyone who knows me personally, knows that I am a busy bee. I've usually got something going on ALL the time and I only work outside the home 20 hours a week, lol! I try really hard to stay busy, cause you know what they say about idle hands... (he, he, he.)
My husband and I are determined to get this adoption funded as quickly as possible. The country we are adopting from has a very quick process, so usually people are just waiting on saving enough money to get everything paid, literally money being the only thing standing in the way of getting your child home.
Since most if my ideas to raise money require my time/effort. I've asked to drop down to 1 day a week scheduled at the gym. This will open up more personal time to schedule personal trainings and opens up my afternoons/nights to sew, craft, blog, craft some more, package, sew some more and ship out items!
I must report how excited we are about the responses we have received from our friends. I've had so many people offer me their time & talents, I've had to create a list!!!
Some examples just in the last week:
- offer of Grant writing skills
- Willowee.com partnership agreement
- wholesale account use for supplies
- card making skills x 6
- fundraiser album shares x 12
- youcaring fund share's x 40
- $440 cash donation's to you caring
- $330 in product sales via FB album
It's been a CRAZY week and personally I hope it stays that way for a while!
I'm eat, sleeping and breathing ways to bring this little man home. I can't wait to introduce you all to him!!!
Thank you all for everything. If you need links to share our efforts here they are...
