Adoption FUNdraising!

One of my big projects this spring has been to work on raising funds for our next embryo transfer for our remaining adopted embryos.  It is looking like August will be our month and we will need $3000 as early as July to cover our medical expenses and the cost of the medicine.  We were really close and then we had to use a big chunk to pay for our embryo frozen storage fees for 2013.  I have added to our blog a fundraiser tracker as well as an info list of all of the ways you can help us raise adoption funds.  Here are some additional details:

My little EBAY helper getting ready to ship several packages!

EBAY
Lena and I have been EBAYing quite a bit!  My store is actually a little empty right now so I need to get into the garage and find some more items to sell.  I am adding items pretty regularly so if you don't see something you like check back!  Visit my store here!  Also, if you are in Southern Cal and have something to donate to my EBAY store please email me and I can arrange to pick it up from you.

Marriott Grande Vista in Orlando, Fl June 7-14 . ($1000 OBO for the week and includes all taxes and fees)

Marriott Shadow Ridge Villas in Palm Desert, CA June 28-July 5. ($1200 for the week and includes all taxes and fees) 

Vacation Rentals
Our biggest items to "sell" are two weeks rental of our Marriott Vacation Timeshare.  We have just REDUCED THE PRICES of these weeks.  The Orlando, FL week is a use it or lose it week so please make us an offer or it will simply go to waste!  We only have two weeks left to sell the Palm Desert, CA week before we have to bank it if it doesn't sell.  Help us spread the word about these rentals!  Click on the captions above to get lots of details about the rentals.  Each unit is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo that sleeps 8 people with full kitchen, living room, private laundry, and full access to the property's ammenities.

Clothing / Item Swap
A fellow adoptive mom is hosting a clothing/item swap for us on May 18th at 2pm in La Mirada, CA.  If you live nearby and would like to participate please email me and I can have her send you the evite.  You just bring $25 for our adoption plus one or two bags of clothes and items and you go home with one to two bags of clothes and items that you choose at the swap.

We may have some other fundraising efforts in the near future and I will be sure to post about those opportunities.  Thanks friends!
