We have been working like crazy to come up with fundraising ideas for our grant we received. We heard from them at the beginning of the week, and we have until January 25, 2010 to raise $4000. It doesn't seem possible, but we are not giving up.
The grant organization suggested that we send out a letter to all our family and friends and tell them our story and ask for a donation to bring our child home. We feel bad asking anyone for anything, but God has put this adoption on our hearts, and we will do whatever it takes to bring this child home.
So for the last couple of days we have been gathering addresses and writing our grant letter. Last night I addressed over 90 letters while Justin put a stamp on each one. We put the finishing touches on our letter this afternoon and added a picture of our family this far.
We are also planning a few other fundraisers, hopefully one this month and one in January. We are working with All About Kids and Puzzles to set aside a night for us and they will generously donate a percentage of the money from that evening to our grant.
I pray that God will lead your hearts to help us with our adoption so that a new little one will join our family soon!
