Fundraising To Bring Big Sister Home

Those of you who know me personally are aware that I am notoriously bad at asking for help for myself, so you can probably understand that the idea of fundraising for our third adoption somewhat horrifies me.  However, despite my apprehensions, we have decided to put together three fundraisers associated with the adoption of Big Sister.

First, some numbers to explain the why of fundraising.  This adoption will cost us somewhere between $45,000 and $50,000 with the variance depending on unpredictable factors, such as days in country and price of airline tickets.  Our goal is to raise less than 25% of this amount, specifically $10,500 which is the international fee required to bring Big Sister home.

Now for the fundraisers:

1) The T-Shirt Fundraiser (in progress now till February 23)
2) The Adoption Auction  (launching on March 2 and ending March 9)
3) The Orphanage Fundraiser (coming summer 2014)

The design on this shirt was created by the kids and me.  Rex made the blue handprint and Emilia the orange one.  They did such a nice job.  We have to sell a minimum of 50 shirts by February 23 for the company to print our order.  If we don't reach the minimum, no one who committed to purchasing will be charged anything.

Please feel free to share our t-shirt fundraiser via your social media and stay tuned for our auction in March.
