Quilt Fundraiser!

Tomorrow is the big day! Our Indiegogo campaign will go live at 9am central time. There are a ton of exciting perks available if you donate ranging from $1-250! We're fine tuning the site today in preparation for the launch & I can't wait to see what God will do through this effort.

One perk that’s near & dear to my heart is a quilt my mom is making for Baby Masch. A lot of adopting families will sell puzzle pieces to donors and then hang the puzzle in their child’s nursery once it’s completed. It's something tangible the child can keep that will always remind them of the community of people involved with bringing him or her home.

When I thought about personalizing that to our own adoption, I thought about a huge quilt that our child could keep for years to come. I ran the idea by my mom, who’s like a Jedi Master when it comes to the sewing machine, & she loved the idea of creating a quilt for her future grandbaby!

So for $20 you can contribute towards building a baby quilt! The donation will off-set the materials for the quilt & eventually turn into this beautiful blanket for the baby. She's already been hard at work prepping some of the hexagons for the pattern. Once completed, the quilt will have a honeycomb pattern.

Here's a look at a couple of quilt squares (hexi's):

Fundraiser Announcement!

When we decided to adopt we knew it would be expensive, but we didn't realize how expensive it would actually end up being. At our very first adoption meeting with the agency, they said that fundraising would be necessary but we cringed at the idea of asking people for money. We have been extremely blessed by so many through support with yard sales, Christmas cookie orders & the Lipscomb University basketball fundraisers that have been held. However, all of this plus money we have saved has only covered around 75% of the adoption fees. Trust me when I say, the adoption process and all that comes with it can be extremely exhausting!

Insert an amazing, gracious, uber-talented friend  >>>{{{HERE}}} <<< 

We were approached by a close friend about using Indiegogo.com to help us raise the remainder of the funds needed to complete our adoption fund. Indiegogo is a site that helps people raise money for a specific cause and in return donors receive perks for their monetary gift. We LOVED the idea of giving something in return for those so gracious to help our cause.

So I'm excited to announce that on July 1st, we will begin our adoption campaign & we need YOUR help to make it successful! There are so many perks available that we have worked hard on & we hope that you'll spread the word to all of your friends.

Our goal for the campaign is to raise $5,000 in 40 days. Is this possible? We have NO clue!

In the coming days you will see more campaign news so keep checking back to this blog, Facebook, Twitter & Instagram for teasers. 

Thanks in advance for helping us reach our goal! Seriously, you guys are awesome.
