We need prayers. We need spiritual support. We need people to share our story. We need financial support. We need people to come alongside us in this journey and hold us up in prayer.
We will be interviewed by our local newspaper soon (this was scheduled for this afternoon at 1 o'clock but the flu has hit our home) in hopes that we can bring more awareness to our journey to raise money to adopt Alexander.
I know many people will read our article and think, "Why adopt if you cannot afford it?" Well, if we had planned on this we would have prepared for it. We did not plan on this, but God did.
I would like to have a motorcycle/poker run or ride to celebrate Alexander's upcoming 6th birthday. I would LOVE to show him pictures of bikers riding to save him.
I hope to hold a scrapbooking crop with the help of my cousin Patti. Anna has offered to donate some great items for a giveaway basket for the crop.
I intend to have a bake sale or two in the works also.
I have had one family offer to do a fundraiser for Alexander online.
I have had one woman contact me from Canada to send us a money order the end of March--she has been one of Alexander's prayer warriors and is so happy to see us bringing him home.
I have a friend from babycenter offer to make an afghan for a giveaway. Thank you, Dawn, I may very well take you up on that.
Katie has shared my story with several media outlets and that is how our local paper heard of us. Thank you, Katie.
The Guffey family of Guffey Acres here in town is supporting us financially and in prayer too, thank you, Jessica and Dan.
Stephanie is running a Scentsy fundraiser right now for us and it will last until March 31 and has already netted close to a $175 dollar donation to come in April.
I would like to do some 50/50 draws in Chrysler---so if you know a union rep that would be willing to help us out, let me know!! We will supply them with all they need. I would do it myself, but I cannot get in the place any longer since I no longer work there.
I cannot thank all of you enough for the help so far. It truly makes my heart smile
And forgive me, please, if I have left someone out already.
If you would like to get in on some action to help our needs, please leave a comment.

Many, many prayers headed your way! God is calling you to adopt Alexander adn there is nothing that can step in HIS way. I cannot wait to see how He works to bring your little boy home to his family. Let me know whenever you want to start your 31 fundraiser and we'll get it going. Many hugs to you!
Even though the need is great, God knows exactly how much you guys need. Keep focusing on Him through it all. I firmly believe every penny you need is going to come in. I can't wait to watch it happen. Hugs
I cannot help but think that if we/you waited for money to do something like save someone's life, it wouldn't happen. God is not concerned with finances, he is concerned with our hearts and yours is most definitely in the right place.
definitely in. Not sure how yet, maybe donating something to raffle off?
Thanks, Molly...I would love to have a donation to giveaway from you but we cannot use the ra**le word :)
I praying that all of your needs will be met, exactly when they need to be.
