One More Smith: Black Friday Bonanza Electronics Giveaway!!!: That's right, in the spirit of annual mayhem known as Black Friday, we are proud to announce an Electronics Giveaway to be held on Black Fri...

Giveaway

We are having a giveaway in order to raise the initial fees we need for our adoption. The reason we have to raise this money is because my husband was unemployed for awhile, so we had to deplete our savings. However, we are in the situation where we can adopt now. So, this giveaway will run until we reach $3,000. We have three prizes, and they are the following:

First place:

An IPAD 2. You can choose white or black. The winner can choose a donation to the child or family of the winner's choice in the amount of an IPAD 2 in place of the actual IPAD.

Second place:

A Kindle Fire. The winner can also choose a donation to the child or family of the winner's choice in the amount of a Kindle Fire in place of the Kindle.

Third place:

A $100 VISA giftcard. The winner can also choose a donation to the child or family of the winner's choice for $100 in place of the giftcard.

The entries.

-One entry for every donation of $5. So, a $10 donation gets you two entries and so forth.

-One entry for sharing on your Facebook or blog. Limited to one entry per day.


Please  comment when you donate and/or share.

Once we reach $3000, I will use random.org to choose the winners. Remember, this will help bring TWO lovely little boys home to a desperately needed family.

To donate, please use the PayPal widget on the right side of the blog. It is not tax deductible but much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Puzzle for Weston

I'm drawing a blank for fund raisers, and all I can come up with is a puzzle fund raiser. This puzzle has 300 pieces. Each piece is $5. Just donate the money to Weston 9HA here Weston's Profile. Then, let me know how much you donated and what you want written on the back of the pieces. When Weston has a family, I will send the puzzle to the family. He'll always be able to see who helped him get home.

P.S. You can also still donate for our puzzle fund raiser (for our future adoption of two boys) by donating to our PayPal widget. Here's that post. Puzzles

Weston 9HA

Previously I said I would be a warrior for Kael, but Kael has found a family. Woohoo for Kael and the family. So, I am now a warrior for Weston. Look at this sweet boy. He shouldn't be in an orphanage. He should be with his forever family. Weston has a few medical issues. He is newly 3 and has hardly any grant money. We need to fix that. I don't have anything to sell in an auction, and I'm not crafty. The only thing I can really offer is this. For every $200 in donations I'll get a pie in the face. At $1000 my husband will get a pie (he doesn't even know yet.) At $2000 my mom will get a pie (she doesn't know but is a good sport and loves kids.) For every donation over $35, you get an ornament with his picture. You can donate to his profile here. Weston's Profile. If you donate through there and want an ornament you have to specify that. You can also donate on this page; however, you'll have to scroll down to his picture. Angel Tree page.

Presley

Here's Presley. He's a precious four-year-old boy who desperately needs a family. Presley has leukemia, and is said to be receiving treatments for it. Just imagine going through all those treatments with no one to love you. He doesn't have a mom and dad by his side. Leukemia usually has a very high success rate when treated with the proper treatments. Doesn't Presley look like a bundle of joy, even despite the life he's currently living? Could he be your son? If not, could you think about donating to his grant? Click here to see Presley's RR profile.

Back on Track

In my last post, I said that we couldn't start the adoption process. Well, the problem has been figured out, and we can start. Woohoo. Well, we can start when we have the money for a home study. I know it's easier to raise funds once your kids are on MFFM on Reece's Rainbow, but we will not commit until our home study is approved. Why? We don't want everyone to get excited that they have a family only to have our home study denied. It's just not how we roll. We still have our Puzzle Fund Raiser going on. For every $5 donated, you get you name written on the back of a piece of the puzzle. Our boys will be able to see all those who helped them get home. Only one piece is spoken for.

I also have bracelets. They are stretch bracelets and smaller in diameter. They fit my wrist, but my wrists are extremely tiny. So, they are great for kids. Each bracelet is $2 plus shipping or three bracelets for $5. The pattern for each bracelet will be different, but the number and type of beads will be the same.

Thanks guys. Also, I am still a warrior for Kael. My husband and I are planning a car wash in November and just figuring everything out.

I'm A Warrior

Unfortunately, we won't be able to start the adoption process as soon as we would like. So, we have decided to become warriors for an orphan. The goal is to raise $1000 for him by December 31. Fund raising is new to me, so I'm going to be a bit rough at this. OK, so you want to know who I'm a warrior for? Why, it's Kael.

Kael is a little boy in Eastern Europe with down syndrome. He's cute as a button, though, and needs a family. You can click on his name above his picture to get to his Reece's Rainbow profile. Stay tuned for future fund raisers. Thanks everyone.
