FUNDRAISING UPDATES

March 24, 2022

We are 92% Funded and just over 3 weeks from our little girl's due date!!! Baby girl was measuring small, so the due date shifted by 3 weeks to April 16th. We believe this change was not by chance, and thank the Lord for the extra time to raise funds. We are still trusting the Him to move the last part of this mountain!!! We are so humbled by and thankful for our village - who have truly been the hands and feet of Jesus to our family during this journey.

Well, if you've read our latest blog post, you found out that our expected expenses increased a little bit. We're trusting the Lord to move this mountain, and it's time to kick back up fundraising!!! We've got some new fundraisers heading your way VERY SOON.

Today we were THRILLED to share that we're matched!!! With that excitement, comes the reality of the hard numbers needed to complete this adoption. Now that we're officially matched, we have the exact dollar amounts (see below). 

Home Study$3,000.00
Profile$250.00
Grant Applications$75.00
Fundraiser Expenses$350.00
Pre-Match Referral Service/Attorney Fees$3,000.00
Matching Fee$3,500.00
Legal Fees & Birth Mother Expenses$40,000.00
Travel for Birth$3,000.00
Post Placement$1,500.00
TOTAL$54,675.00

The total amount is more than we initially anticipated... but not impossible. We have spoken with the attorney and we should be able to utilize grant money we've been awarded to help offset the increased. So that leaves us here:

Goal$54,675.00
Funded (including grants)$41,224.00

Amount Still Needed$13,451.00

All that being said, we are starting off this month at 75% funded!

We have $13,451 left to raise and are confident that the Lord will provide. Our plan to raise these remaining funds includes saving, fundraising, and continuing to apply for grants. Now that we're matched, we should have a better chance of being awarded grant money. Please pray with us that we would have favor with the grants we're applying for. We will also have more fundraisers coming after the first of the year!

We are so thankful for those that have partnered with us financially and in prayer. We know everyone is not able to give financially, and we recognize that the greatest gift you can give us is PRAYER, and we so greatly appreciate those who will partner with us in that way.

Lastly, we are still selling Adoption T-Shirts and Gobena Coffee. The links are below to order.

We are so excited to be at 65% on our adoption funding!!! God has blessed us this month with our yard sale, t-shirt sales, and BBQ plate sales. We have about $16,500 left to raise and are confident that the Lord will provide.

We know everyone is not able to give financially, so we wanted to include some options for other donations - our used book sale is coming up on 10/23, and we will happily come pick up any book donations Also, the greatest gift you can give us is PRAYER, and we so greatly appreciate those who will partner with us in that way.


September 1, 2021

We are at 58% on our adoption funding - God is Faithful!!! We have lots of fundraising opportunities currently happening or coming up soon, so I thought it would be helpful to share a "flyer" with all the dates.
