No man is an island. And nothing we've experienced in life has proven that more true than the journey of adoption. Our last time around, we provided the majority of the money ourselves, had a few really gracious gifts, and did a handful of fundraisers. This time, because it's so close to the prior time, we don't have that jump start that propelled us forward like last time. It's a little daunting and there are times I get overwhelmed. So I'm asking for help.
We're trying not to burden people with our need to fundraise, but the truth is that we cannot bring our girl home without help. We've been offered TWO matching grants, each one $1,000!!! That means, if we meet them both, we'll have raised $4,000 this month. The cool part is that for every $5 you give, we get $10. I like that math :)
The simplest way to give is to paypal your donation to lisaytucker@gmail.com and select "personal" and then "gift". But if you want to give more or do more, we've got some great events coming up, an auction I'm trying to get together, and a PARTY! I just need some hosts/hostesses.
Here's the way to play the Party Game with us. Invite your friends for a night out ... kind of. This time, instead of dropping $10 or more on appetizers, dinner, a movie, or whatever they will drop it in a jar at your house on behalf of Ana Sophia. You will be their host/hostess for the evening and provide snacks and entertainment (movie, games, chatting, music, a campfire, whatever!). If we can find ten people who will have ten people over, we can earn $1,000 from this alone! WOW.
