Wes & Riley at lunch...this is how we do it.
Anyway, the beautiful thing about Give1 Save1 is that bloggers everywhere follow it. So, literally, several complete strangers have blessed us so far by giving towards our adoption. Social networking works in this instance, as people push out our story to their friends, and their friends push it out to their friends....well you get the idea. And the practical thing is that it's free for us; if people donating only want to give $1 they can. But if everyone who saw it gave $1--well you can imagine the impact.
So far we are up to $572. We have several more days to go, but we are are feeling quite blessed. Our goal is to be to $1200 by the end of the week. That would cover Jason & my airfare for our next trip to Haiti, which will be for court. We have no date for that yet, but having the money set aside for it will be a huge blessing.
So if you know of someone who would enjoy hearing our story, and likes a good cry (maybe its just me, but I cry everytime I watch the video), send them on over to Give1 Save1 this week. There is also a giveaway involving caramel popcorn for those who share the Give1 Save1 blog.
And don't forget the little men who this fundraising effort is all about. I can't forget them. I see their faces every night when I close my eyes....
