Last Big Fund Raiser

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE:  Final total: $1800.  We are so close to having all expenses for this adoption paid.  I can’t tell you how overwhelmed we feel, in a good way!

UPDATE!:  Sophie made over $100 with her lemonade stand.  A huge thanks to Lisa and Tori and Cora for helping!  We haven’t gotten the final total yet, but we think we made at least $1000 for our adoption.  Praise God!

I’m taking a brief break from helping set up for our 147 Million Orphans fund raiser.  We hope that this will help us get much closer to the $2500 or so we need to bring Shepherd home.

We are down to paying for hotels, meals, tips, etc. so it’s crunch time.  We got a bit of disheartening news last week when we found out we probably won’t travel until August.  Besides the wait, that’s also right when Sophie and I both start school.  God’s timing is perfect, though and it’s all good.

30 minutes until showtime.  We have about 70 people RSVP’ed to attend so it will be a busy afternoon.  I’ll try to update later with how we’re doing.
