Much Ado About Fundraising

From Mommy: So. Fundraising ideas. I need them. Nowish.
The boys and I are currently selling cand bars around the neighborhood which is really neat. You would think that something small like candy wouldn't bring in much revenue, and I admit that it brings up the image of eating an elephant, but it's so sweet to see the boys talking to our neighbors about "bringing our babies home". I want them to know that if they want something in life they need to go out and get it. However they can. That having been said, I need some thoughts from those of you who have been where we are. How did you get the money?
Also a factor is how quickly things will be moving. Our agency said that once our home study is complete, referrals will likely be given almost immediately. This is when we will owe our $30,000.
Eeeeek.
I know that God will provide. I'm just anxious to see how.
In the meantime, we're off to sell more candy and spread the message that babies all over the world need families. Pray for openings for us to talk to folks about our babies and also about Who will provide the way to get them home. And please pray for God's provision for our sweet girls.

Not sure how your time frame is but spring time is just around the corner and that's about the time that a lot of people start to think about yard care. Or even in the mean time, offering to clean the inside of the house for some neighbors or close friends. Just a thought! Keep us posted!

Love ya! MWAH!!!

Collecting tin cans too will bring in money - Papa & I have already started our collection. Pop cans too! Will try and think of more ways to raise funds for our new granddaughters!
