Fundraising Friday Update

We are beyond blessed, and so excited to be on this journey to bring home our daughter.  We are so very thankful to the friends and family who are supporting, encouraging and praying for our adoption.  We feel so loved and know that our little girl is also already loved by so many.  We can't wait to share the stories with her, of how so many people came together to help us bring her home!

We are preparing for a big yard sale (hopefully in mid-May if the weather cooperates).  We have had so many people come along side us and donate items for our big yard sale fundraiser.  We are so thankful.  Just yesterday, a friend of a friend, brought by a load of great toys for the yard sale.  I was almost in tears as I opened the door, met Stephanie for the first time, and had her unload their (amazing) toys into our house so we can use them for our yard sale.  I also had a friend come and shop a little early too...she was able to pick up some things she needed and help us out in the process.  If anyone out there wants to donate items or help us on the day of the sale, we would be more than excited to have your support! 

We are also doing a t-shirt fundraiser.  A BIG thank you to Jon Kenney who designed our amazing shirt and to David Bishop who is helping us with the printing.  We will be taking orders for t-shirts through early July and they should be ready for delivery by early August. We are suggesting a donation of $20 for each shirt. If you are interested in ordering a shirt, please email me at leighchasteen@yahoo.com for more information. In the subject line, put Adoption T-Shirts.  That way I won't miss it. I am also going to create a Facebook event to share the t-shirt fundraiser as well. 

Here is our AMAZING shirt, designed by Jon Kenney. I love it! The Chinese characters say "adoption." The colors are also the colors of the Chinese flag. We are thankful to JK for his time, talent and help! The shirt expresses exactly what is on our hearts...our love for our little girl knows no borders...and our love for adoption. We are blessed and hope that this shirt will share a piece of our story!
