So, the dance party fundraiser was a success! A small success, but success none the less!! No one unknown came, despite the hundreds of beautiful fliers strewn about 2 towns and the radio and newspaper adds. But so many local businesses, friends and coworkers helped to make it not only a fundraiser, but a testament to what a wonderful community we live in! I am so grateful for the donations of wine, food, DJing and all the volunteer time put in. I made $1700 total, and after subtracting the cost for having the event, now have $1200 more towards Garrett's adoption fund!
Yesterday, I was so pleased to send of my corrected, finalized home study to immigration---one more step closer...
I also submitted 2 grant applications and am hoping hoping hoping they find it in their hearts to award a grant.
now, onto the next fundraiser....hhmmmmmm....bingo night?
I sent letters and photos to 29 different charity organizations, but havn't yet heard anything back.
keep your fingers crossed- I have $17,761 left to raise to bring Garrett home.
waiting for my family to come and get me!
There's no place like home!
