Giveaway Update!

Huge news, friends! HUGE! The prizes for our giveaway have been donated to us! We do not have to pay anything out of pocket for these items! So all of your donations will go straight to our dossier fees! We really need this fundraiser to go well and this is a huge boost to us!

So keep sharing, tweeting, blogging and donating to get your entries! The "reserve" has been removed! 

Thank you for helping us to bring home our little boy! It means so much to us!




Ok folks, I am really, really excited about this! We are having our first giveaway and I am a little nervous! I have never done a giveaway! If it was a silent auction for my favorite charity *cough*Best Buddies*cough*.....well, I help with that every year and could do it with my eyes closed! So this is a little new for me!


Here's the deal, we still need a lot of money to go get our little man! Like, a LOT. Right now we have a large chunk that we will need to have very soon to get our dossier on it's way across the ocean. We are doing everything in our power to raise this money. We don't like to ask for help. Ever. But this is a little different and a little boy is waiting in an orphanage.....waiting to come home and be loved.....waiting for his family. 


So what better way to help bring him home and give you something in return to show our appreciation?



Here is how works.....

*I HATE to have a disclaimer, BUT.....we are having to pay for these items out of our own pocket, they are brand new and have not been donated. We will have to have a "reserve" on the giveaway. We need to reach $850 to break even and make something to help bring our sweet boy home! Thank you for understanding!

How You Can Help!

I have had many emails over the past few days and today, after posting a picture of a certain someone.....my email and FB has blown up! People want to know how to help and what they can do! I am beyond humbled! That has been one of the most unexpected parts of this journey.....the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers! 


So, as of right now, here are ways that you can help!


  • Our Chip In widget is located on the right hand side of the blog. Just click and donate!

  • If you would like your donation to be tax deductible you can mail your donation straight to our adoption agency! Please contact me for their mailing address and instructions! If you are wanting to do a straight, tax deductible donation, this is probably the best way!

  •  If you love coffee and NEED it like I do in the morning, check out:  https://justlovecoffee.com/saubersfamily        We will receive a portion of the coffee sales!

  • Our dear friend is currently hosting painting parties for us! If you are in our area and would like to host one of your own, please contact me and I can get you set up! All of the proceeds, minus a small amount for supplies, will go towards our adoption! She is an amazing teacher and they are a lot of fun!

           This is also tax deductible! 

         

     I am also going to be offering teacher gifts for your to purchase for your children's teachers, bus drivers, administrators, coaches, aides, etc! More info to come soon on this one! 


    We are going to continue to fundraise, so check back often! We will hopefully have something for everyone!

    Thank you again for your support on this! We couldn't do this without you and appreciate your support, love and prayers so much!
