Help Us Bring Jackson Home

We anticipate that we will hear very soon about travel to China. A group that just got their Letters of Seeking Confirmation last week will be leaving mid-June so we are next!

My hope is that we are in China by July. With that said, travel right now is beyond expensive, high gas prices, summer, and the Olympics have almost doubled prices from the last time we went.

To raise money we are having two garage sales:

  • This weekend May 30th & 31st (Friday 8-4 and Saturday 8-5)
  • The next sale will be June 20th & 21st (8-5 both days)

If you would like to help us with our fundraising efforts please consider either shopping at our sale or donating items* for us to sell. Between the two sales we hope to raise at least $3000 over the next 5-6 weeks.

Additionally, we would like to donate at least 10% of what we raise to Half the Sky, an organization in China that provides services directly to the orphanages. They are currently focusing their efforts on Chengdu and the surrounding provinces that were effected as a result of the earthquake.

You may also make a monetary donation, if you wish to help that way. We have included a secure link to Pay Pal on the right. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family to share our lives and happiness.

Thank you in advance for your kindness.

*You can drop items off, just give me a call and I will be home, or we will come pick up your items. The only thing we won’t do is clean out your closets J
