Silver Change

Thank you, soon to be Grandma and Grandpa Manley.
My mom and dad have saved their silver change for the last couple of months. How fast it adds up! They have donated a jar with $351.00 in change and left some space for us to continue to fill it. We have added the silver change from our garage sales, and that increased the total by $65.00. It adds up fast, and every bit counts! Thank you!

Words Can Not Describe....

Words can not describe how grateful we are to have the support that we have had so far! We can't express how wonderful it is to have people involved, interested, and supportive of our decision to adopt. We are so fortunate to have people in our lives that have blessed us with kindness. We received a donation a couple of days ago, from a man whom could never be thanked enough. We have not "asked" any one for money, only support and maybe some junk for a garage sale....but the donations we have received have definitely been appreciated. As we have explained in previous blogs this process is very very expensive and to achieve our dream of becoming parents we have reached out to those in our lives that we feel could/would like to be a part of it.

A Very Special thank you to the person who donated $5,000.00 to our adoption fund! Words could NEVER express how grateful we are! When we opened the card and saw that check, I (Kristi) started to cry. We knew, that this makes everything possible for us! We know now...next month, we will be able to start the actual adoption process with the agency. We are going to an informational meeting on January 26th and will sign the agreement shortly after that.

We will still be fundraising, as we still have a ways to go to raise the necessary money to make it all possible. We thank you for your continued support!

Fundraising Results

Thank you Thank you! We had our 2nd Yard sale with the items that were left over and some other items that were recently donated. We raised another $765.00. So with the $1,200 from the first sale and $765.00 from the second, that = $1,965.00 that we raised all together! We could not have done that without you! All of you who donated, Thank you again!

Also, the Pampered Chef Party raised $105.00 and the Creative Memories work shop raised $75.00. Thank you to those of you who came to those!
