I am putting out a call here to everyone I know for some help! We are hoping to do a huge garage sale this summer to raise money to bring baby DeMaster home!! I think everyone knows that international adoption is quite pricey. We need to come up with about $16,000 this year. I struggle sometimes with sharing that figure just because people feel funny talking about money. But, I want people to get the real picture of adoption- sometimes it isn't cheap. However, we serve a BIG God who can easily provide these funds. We just need to do some work too.:)
So, we are asking you to save your stuff and donate to our garage sale. Kids items/clothes are usually in high demand, but we'll take other stuff too! Also, if any of you have experience doing a garage sale- I need some advice! I've never done a garage sale so it seems intimidating. If any of you have other fundraising ideas we could try, let me know.
On a side note, I have to share what happened with Cardale yesterday. I made grilled cheese for lunch and decided to cut some up into little tiny pieces and offer him some. He ate it! I was so happy! I sometimes think he isn't progressing at all in his eating and then he has little breakthroughs. I'm trying to remember that slow and steady progress is still progress.:)

Hooray for Cardale! We began to wonder whether he would ever be able to eat solid foods. What a breakthrough!I'm sure you are a happy woman.
We'll have to bring some garage sale items when we come in April. I'm already looking forward to seeing all of you again. Have you thought of selling the Little Ceasar's Pizza kits? We sell them for a MOPS fundraiser and the return is good on the kits. Everyone loves them. You'd have to put out the word at church or work, if possible.
I suggest doing prices in $.25 increments, much easier to add up! I am sure we have stuff in the basement, I'll be going through that soon!! That's fantastic news about Cardale!!! YEAH!
I'm sure we'll have some things to send your way. When would you like them??
