Hi all! Things have been pretty quiet here as we are patiently waiting to be chosen. We do have someone looking at our book in the next few days, and if we are chosen we would have to travel to get the baby. So we are desperately trying to find a bank that will give us a loan and then we can pay on it as we fundraise and when we get the Adoption Tax credit next year. Speaking of fundraising...we have a new one in the works that won't cost you a thing to help us out!
We are going to be working with an organization called Angel Bins. They collect new and gently used shoes and send them to developing nations. So we are going to be collecting kids shoes of all types and sizes. When we fill 10 boxes they pay to have them shipped, then they are weighed and we will make $.45 a pound. This is where you come in. If you are local we will be collecting shoes, if you are not local, and are willing, you could collect shoes for us!! When you have 8-10 boxes (18x18x24 sized boxes) you will get a shipping label and you can send them off (free for you) and we will collect from it!! This is a great opportunity to help us out if you aren't in a financial place to do that (we totally GET that, we are right there with you).
Other ways you could help, if you have airline points or whatever they are called, that we could use and save on flights, that would be great. If you have a time share or a vacation home somewhere that we could use if we have to travel far (the possibility exists that we can use a Ronald McDonald house too). If you are looking for somewhere to donate some of your tax return, we can use that too 😏
If you would like to make a collection for us just let me know and we can work out the details. We appreciate your prayers and support thus far. If we are chosen for this one, it will take a miracle to get us there and make it happen, so we appreciate the continued prayers.
