Is there any news? Nope just still waiting....waiting....waiting... The waiting sucks, ya'll! There just isn't a nice way to put it. But while we are waiting we still have about $14,000 to go in fund raising. We have raised just over $9,200 from past donations and fund raisers. And we are so thankful for all of it!
We keep a goal thermometer on the refrigerator to keep us focused. Some recent fundraisers we have done lately is a garage sale and some jewelry sales. Together those brought in about $400. We have one final Garage Sale which actually is a community wide garage sale in Harmony next Saturday, October 13.
We are paid current, and a just a little over, of all of our charges with our adoption agency. We only have 3 charges left to incur. A Match fee of $2000, A placement fee of $10,900 and a finalization fee of $1500-$2500.
In order to help with our next fee, the Match fee of $2,000, we are having a Kindle Fire HD raffle. We are selling tickets for $10 each. We will only sell 200 tickets so your chances are good! Simply donate $10 thru our chipin page
For each $10 donated you will receive one (1) ticket. We will place your name on a ticket and put it in our raffle bowl. The last day to purchase a ticket will be Friday, October 26.
We will post a list of all ticket purchasers on Saturday, October 27 here on our blog so that way you can verify your ticket purchase has been recorded and your name is on a ticket that is in our raffle bowl.
On Sunday, October 28 we will announce our winner! The Kindle Fire will be shipped directly to your home. Please share this with anyone you know. You can be living ANYWHERE in the US to play!
Good Luck!
