4th Annual Garage Sale

Hi Friends, 

I'm so excited to let you know that the 4th annual Adopting Family Fundraiser Garage Sale is in the works! I'm shooting for May 16-17, 2014 as the date this year. 

It is always so much fun to put this event together and so fun to get to bless families! I would love if you would save items you might normally donate to Goodwill etc. for the next month and consider donating them for this fundraiser?! 

We have been able to bless many sweet families over the past 4 years, and so many precious kiddos are home with their forever families thanks to your generosity! 

I would be more than happy to come and pick up items or you are welcome to drop them off at my house, I'm hoping that by the time May 16 rolls around I will have a garage filled with stuff! 

100% of all proceeds go directly to adopting families!!!!

Over the years we've raised more than $3,000.00! It's so exciting to be just a small part of families adoption journey!

As always, I don't always know all the families in our community that are in the adoption process, I would love to know if you or someone you know are bringing kiddos home. Please e-mail or call me with names so we can bless you or them! 

One last thing, would you consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends so that it will be a huge success? If you can't donate consider saving the date and stopping by to shop May 16-17!

I appreciate you all so much, looking forward to blessing others with you! :)

2013 Garage Sale Fundraiser

We had our annual Fundraiser Garage Sale 2 weekends ago. It's always a blast and I love that all proceeds go back into the account to help kiddos come home! 

We had lots of stuff again this year thanks so many of you! Start Saving for next year!

The final amount raised was right around $630. WAHOO! 

A HUGE thank you to a bunch of you who donated items, you are making a huge difference in a bunch of  families lives. 

As always if you know of a family who is currently in the adoption process let us know! Pass on their names so that we can bless them with a little gift to help with the cost! It's so much fun to be even just a small part of bringing little ones home to their families! SO COOL! 

Already planning and looking forward to next weeks sale! 

P.s I have a fun announcement coming soon of another way you can support adoptions! STAY tuned:) 

A HUGE THANK YOU!

We had our fundraiser sale this last weekend. I am so thankful to everyone who so generously gave and all those who came out to make the sale a GREAT success!

I'm thrilled to be able to send some sweet families just a little something to help in their adoption process!

Brandon and Kari over at www.bkmulder.blogspot.com are SO close to bringing baby #2 home. Head on over to their blog and read the exciting news!

Hi Everyone,

It's that time of year again! I'm excited to let you know that we are going to be having another fundraiser garage sale to replenish the adoption fund! :)

 We were able to give to 2 sweet families last time around  from the garage sale as well as another venture that I have started of selling books online ( if you have some books you're finished with laying around let me know!)

I would love to gather a TON of stuff so that we can bless even more families in the coming year! Please let me know if you have anything that you would like to donate to the cause and I would be more than willing to come pick it up!!! Thank you in advance for being a part of this!

Do you have a garage sale planned? If you have anything left over let me come and help clean it up and give your things a second chance to help out some great families who are in the adoption process!

Here are a couple of the families who we are excited to bless in the coming months! Check Out their blogs for their full stories!

Success!

We had our fundraiser garage sale a couple weekends ago.We had good weather and a LOT of people came out.  It was a HUGE success! We had so many awesome items to sell and we raised a bunch of money to go towards helping local families adopt. Thank you so much to  everyone who donated items and helped to make this a profitable day! We are excited to be at a point where we can help families bring their kiddos home! :) Once again, if you know of anyone who would be blessed with financial help during their adoption process, send me an e-mail and let me know so that we can be a part of bringing their child home!
