This giveaway is our final fundraiser, our last push to collect money for our children’s orphanages, so we can take even more donations, especially diapers and toothbrushes, when we pick up our kids later this year. There are 13 items in this giveaway which I will describe in detail below. Each $1 donation earns you one entry to the drawing for these items. This fundraiser runs through May 18 and the drawing and announcement of winners will take place the following day.
We have set-up a chip-in button for your contributions (see right), but if you’re not comfortable with this method, email me privately at viviane8 @ yahoo.com and we’ll figure out a different way to get you entered for the giveaway. And just in case you are wondering why I set my hopes high and fixed the amount we’d like to raise at $440… well, if we make it, we will have raised a total of exactly $1000 for our children’s orphanages which would be simply amazing.
And now for the giveaway prizes:
