With the amazing news of our court date being scheduled on June 28, we have decided to launch a very meaningful adoption fundraiser. Over the years many of you have prayed with us, hoped with us, have been excited about good news with us, have cried through the bad news with us, and have learned to trust God in all circumstances alongside us. With this fundraiser, you can be a part of welcoming Hope home, bringing her comfort, love, and joy in a tangible way that she will have for years to come.
Our very talented, generous, dear friend and fellow adoptive mama, named Angie, has offered to make a quilt for Hope. (She actually has a business called Sew Simply Me and has made us numerous quilts and other creative gifts over the years!) We have envisioned the front of the quilt to say LOVE, but we are hoping you can help us design the back. We would like for the back of the quilt to be filled with the names and/or notes from those who have loved, prayed for, and supported Hope’s journey home. There are two ways to sponsor the quilt:
1) Name only sponsorships: $25 per name
2) Quilt square sponsorship: $100 (you may also leave a note for Hope with this type of sponsorship)
Once you make your donation, you will leave us a note, a Bible verse, a prayer, a quote, or your name depending on the type of sponsorship you choose and I will write it on the fabric. Once all the squares have been completed, Angie will sew them together to create the back of the quilt.
How to Sponsor:
1) Select the type of sponsorship you would like to make and click "DONATE VIA PAYPAL" to make your donation (you may donate additional funds if you desire apart from your sponsorship here as well). ***If you are viewing this on a mobile device, click "view web version" at the bottom of the page to see the side bar where you can click to donate*** You may also mail us your donation. Contact us for address.
(2) Write name and/or your note in the “Add special instructions for the Recipient” section on the donation review page. We will write your name and/or note onto a square of the back of the quilt.
Our goal for this fundraiser is to help offset the final adoption travel and in-country fees of approximately $5,000. We have exactly one week until Tom gets on the plane and would like to have the quilt fully sponsored by the day he leaves so Angie can start making it! Will you join with us in this final phase of our adoption journey and help bring our sweet girl home? Feel free to share this with your family, friends, churches, small groups or anyone else who might like to join with us in this tangible way to show love to our daughter when she finally comes home! Hope will literally be covered in your love and will be able to see the names, read your words of support and encouragement, and know how very loved she is when she comes home and begins life with her forever family.
