FUNdraising

Well, it actually was fun! We had our yard sale in June. We received enough donations to fill our yard and then some! My parents and sister came down from Connecticut to help and we met some nice people too. All and all it was a lot of work and a lot of fun. We made enough money to feel it had been worth while, but we still have a long way to go. Much of our leftover stuff went to a Russian orphanage (clothing), a crisis pregnancy center(stroller, diaper bags, baby clothes)a homeless shelter(personal care items) and the Salvation Army (all the rest of the stuff that they were willing to take). So it was fun to feel we were helping others while others helped us!

Next month Annie and Rebecca are planning a "Red Thread Walk" and in September we are having a sub sale at a grocery store. We've also registered with Current Fundraising to raise money by selling current products online to our friends and family. You may be getting an email soon! ;-)

But the bottom line is, God will have to provide. We look forward to see how He will do this.

Sounds like you have the bases covered. You're doing very well fundraising. And you're right, God will provide...if he's led you to it, he will lead you through it.
