Update on Donations from Yard Sale!

I finally finished up valuing our yard sale leftovers that we donated to multiple charities! Turbo Tax has this great online tool called Its Deductible that lets you keep track of your donations throughout the year and estimate the value of donations to make it easier at tax time. Where has this been all my life!?

The Grand Total was $8,411.50!! Wowza!! It all added up and it was totally worth tracking all of it for our tax return!! Since charitable donations reduce your taxable income, it's not dollar for dollar tax savings, but that means we will see about $2000 in tax savings. That will help us so much! Thank you again to all of our friends and family who donated their items to our sale!!

Note: the donation to Cross Point Church was the clothes and coats for Lakota Journey.

T-shirt Adoption Fundraiser!!

Attention Friends and Family! Here is our next fundraiser to help us adopt a baby!! Please consider buying a t-shirt designed by Fund the Nations to help us raise funds within the next 2 weeks!! The last day for orders is Fri, Dec 6th. You get a cool shirt that promotes adoption and we get a portion of the cost to help us pay adoption expenses. It's a win-win!

Here’s some trivia: how many of these superheroes did you know were adopted? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Superheroes_who_are_adopted

Do you know someone who has adopted a child, has been adopted themselves, or has a loved one who has been adopted? Please share this link with them! OR, this would be the perfect gift for them for the holidays. :) We are wrapping up this fundraiser early enough to allow time for shipment before Dec 25th.

It's easy to order! You click the link, select the color shirt, select the size, click add to cart, then you can click continue shopping to add more or you can click checkout, then enter your contact and payment information, and they will ship it right to you!

We have a big goal of $2000 so we can hire our adoption consultant to get advice on our home study and adoption profile, and eventually help us apply for grants and birth mom situations. We need to sell at least 200 shirts to achieve this goal! We sincerely appreciate your purchase!!
