Our iPad2 Giveaway and FREEBIES!!!

If you have been following our story, you already know of all the stuff we have dealt with this past week. We have moved from one agency to another for our homestudy. We are blessed this next agency comes highly recommended from a veteran adopter and the agency knows our country and Reece's Rainbow too!! Time is something I have allowed to bind fear in my heart; I refuse to do that now. This past week was extremely LOW for me and I have learned not to worry about time--if this journey is God's will for Alexander and our life, then HE will see to it that it comes fruition.

Our iPad2 giveaway is now just over 2 weeks old and we have been blessed richly with funds. THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON WHO HAS DONATED, SHARED, and PRAYED for us. You are helping to alleviate our financial burden and we are ever so grateful for this act of love and compassion.

Alexander was still in a baby house/orphanage last year in July 2010--however, our son has been transferred to a MENTAL INSTITUTION and we need to get to him as soon as God allows.  Literally, every, single day he spends in the institution is robbing him of his achievements. He will regress quickly with little or no stimulation. Pictures of the institutions are not pretty. Some kids are tied to beds all day long, some are drugged to keep them quiet, some are left to their own devices and become nearly feral. His safety is at risk; his life depends on us rescuing him and GOD providing a way. While we do believe God will bless this journey, we also know we must be diligent in seeking what he has to offer us.


Sooo, here is what our package will offer:


Photobucket


iPad2 (choice of white or black)


16 GB with Wi-Fi


Your color choice of polyurethane sleep cover for the iPad2 (gray, blue, green, orange or pink)


Apple iPad2 Dock


THIS PACKAGE WILL NOT BE PURCHASED UNTIL AFTER THE GIVEAWAY CLOSES ON APRIL 17, 2010. WE WILL RUN THIS FUNDRAISER FOR ONE FULL MONTH. DRAWING WILL BE HELD ON APRIL 21, 2011. THE iPad2 WILL BE SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO THE SELECTED DONOR. APPROXIMATE SHIPPING TIMES (RIGHT NOW) ARE 4-5 WEEKS.

Now, how do you get your option for this package? First donate at least $10 to our Family Sponsorship Page by clicking on Alexander's picture in the sidebar of my blog at the top. If you do not have a paypal account you can mail a check to Reece's Rainbow with "Alexander for the Taylor Family" in the memo line and send it to:


Reece's Rainbow


P.O. Box 4024


Gaithersburg, MD 20885




Then you can come here to my blog and leave a comment, your name and entries will be tallied and added to our bucket to select the winners. This fundraiser will be live ONLINE and we will also be doing direct-face-to-face donations as well. What that means is this, my husband will be gathering entries through donations to Reece's Rainbow as well around town. 




For $10 you will get 1 drop in the giveaway  (& 1 option for a freebie)



For $25 you will get 3 drop ins to the giveaway ( & up to 3 options for freebie entries)



How do you earn a freebie option?


Once you have made a monetary donation, PLEASE share this blogpost for another option. If you donate enough for one option, you can only earn one freebie option by reposting. BUT if you donate enough for 3 options you can earn 3 freebies too. Facebook it for another option. Tweet it for another . Blog it for another too. SHARE, SHARE, SHARE. Momma said it was good to share, right? Come back here and let me know that you shared it and we will add to your entries for this giveaway. If you donate money multiple times over the weeks this giveaway runs--you will get options for that too.  YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR NAME and, please, do not post just anonymously because I won't be able to find you if you are the selected donor.

So keep coming back to see how many options are going in the "bucket" and watch the blessings unfold!! And watch my Facebook page too for ways to get even more options by either helping us over a specific amount OR for just sharing!!

Thank you!!!!!! You are BLESSING AJ and BLESSING our family too!!!!!

Christie, I donated $10. I know that it isn't much but I am hoping that every little bit counts. Of course, I am still praying for sweet sweet AJ. He is never far from my thoughts as well as your family. You know that I am in your corner.

Christie,
Just reposted on Facebook. I just love watching the numbers go up because it means that you guys are that much closer to being united with dear AJ. So many people are in your corner. They really are. I track my blog with feedjit and it records when people leave my blog by visiting yours. Love it! Word of mouth is such a powerful thing. As is prayer. Praying dear friend!

Love seeing your fund go up. M/O is going in the mail this morning as soon as I walk uptown. It's such a priviledge to help in a small way and to pray. Hugs
