And the WINNERS are...

We were excited to have our drawing yesterday to find out who would win the FABULOUS prizes that we raffled off as part of our final adoption fundraiser!

Stella Hung & family won the Great Wolf Lodge gift card!
John & Jill VanVeen won the brand new Vanity!
Congratulations to both of these families!


 
However, we want to thank EVERYONE who supported us in this fundraiser! We are thankful for the Lord's provision and how He has used His people to help make this adoption a reality for our family. We know that without the support of so many, we wouldn't be getting ready to bring home a child to her forever family!

With your help, we were able to raise $1,800 to go towards upcoming expenses as we finalize things. Also, a BIG thank you to Jason Campbell at Rocky Tops for their donation of the vanity and to our family for the Great Wolf Lodge gift card. 
If you have any countertop needs, please consider Rocky Tops of Greensboro. Their website is: http://rockytopsinc.com/

If you think of us over the next few weeks, please continue to lift us up in prayer as we prepare for her arrival...for time with the birth mom, for a safe & smooth delivery, and for the Lord's peace to be with us all. We're continuing to pray for His will and trusting that He'll be with us each step of the way. 

Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!!

Josh, Anna & Rachel

Our FINAL Adoption Fundraiser!!!

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since we did our "Ultimate Date Night" Raffle! After over a year of fundraising, saving, completing lots of paperwork, getting matched, meeting our birthmom, waiting and LOTS of praying...it's exciting to think about welcoming a new little one to our family in about 7 short weeks, maybe sooner. However, now that we have a deadline and are still needing to save/raise the final expenses (approximately $5,000), we figure now would be a great time for one final fundraiser. :) We've come a long way and are SO grateful to have had the support and prayers of so many over this past year.

We are raffling off 2 AMAZING items--so we'll have 2 BLESSED Winners, in 2 separate drawings!!

• A Brand New 36" Granite or Marble Vanity Top (Valued at $500)

Donated by: Rocky Tops, Inc.  Click here for Rocky Tops Vanity Information

• A $300 Gift Card to Great Wolf Lodge (Charlotte/Concord, NC)

Donated by: Family Members

TICKET DONATION AMOUNTS:

$10 donation= 1 chance to win

$50 donation= 6 chances to win

$100 donation= 12 chances to win

All ticket sales will end on Thursday, January 23, 2014. The drawing will be held on Friday, January 24, 2014. Rachel will draw the winner and we’ll announce it here on our blog, as well as via email and Facebook. All funds raised will go straight to our agency, AmericanKidz Adoption Services.

HOW TO GET YOUR TICKETS (You won't receive an actual ticket, but your name will be printed on a ticket and added to the appropriate "Raffle Box"):

1. Donate here on the blog via PayPal or AdoptTogether (tax-deductible option) links, specifying that it's for the raffle. Paying in person or via snail mail is always fine too.

2. Or, you can email us at: ajgreen1@bellsouth.net or leave me a message on Facebook.

3. We realize that everyone might not be interested in a Vanity and/or going to Great Wolf Lodge. But, you might be interested in one or the other. So, we're doing 2 separate drawings and you can let us know which raffle you want your tickets for and how many. (Ex. 2 for Vanity/2 for Great Wolf or 5 for Great Wolf.)

Thank you for your willingness to consider supporting us in this way. We are blessed to have others joining us on this journey. We can't wait to see who WINS!! 

Love,

Anna, Josh & Rachel
