Do you guys know what you've done??
When we launched our t-shirt fundraiser in July, I secretly hoped we could sell about 100 shirts and make about $1500. Maybe $2000 if we were really lucky.
Needless to say...God had much bigger plans for this fundraiser. MUCH BIGGER. Like completely overwhelming, make me cry, where in the world did that come from plans!
Are y'all ready for this...........??
To date, we have sold 704 tshirts. And made $11,220.12!!!
I'm not joking. Dead serious. And every single cent is getting us that much closer to baby sister!
I could tell you a million stories from all the people that bought shirts! All the ties to us or to our family. Ties to friends. Ties to adoption, ties to hearing loss, ties to kids with all kinds of special needs. People that were absolute strangers. People that bought 34 shirts with plans to gift them to their whole family for Christmas. People that gave WAY over and above what their shirts cost just because they love our family. Teachers from all 3 of the kids schools that supported our endeavors. A church family that once again showed up big time! Posts that were shared hundreds of times just to get the word out. I shipped shirts all over the United States. As well as to Canada, France and Australia. And one will be making its way to Zimbabwe in just a few weeks as well.
Unreal.
I LOVE seeing random Facebook posts and people have on OUR shirt. Or folks will tell me..."I saw someone with your shirt on so I introduced myself!" I mean...all corners of our worlds are colliding and I couldn't be more thankful!
So are you ready for what's next??
I'm being bombarded with requests for a long sleeve version of our tee....
Friends, ask and you shall receive. Here it is, altered slightly so when your husband asks you why you bought another t-shirt from that crazy lady in Kentucky, you can tell him it's NOT the same shirt!
They are Comfort Color (LOVE!) long sleeve tees that fit true to size. And yes, available in brick, seafoam, charcoal or navy! Shirts are $30 each ($34 shipped).
ORDER HERE!!
Again, can't say thank you enough to everyone who has supported us thus far! Could not have done it without you guys! Our village is the best village EVER!
And PS...in case you actually wanted an adoption update...we had to put everything on hold at the end of the summer while we moved. Something about they want to see the house you are actually bringing home said child to......... So, moving happened. Social worker came and saw new house. (I'm gonna assume it's because I've done this so many times, but this house was straight up chaos when she came! And I didn't even care. Because I don't have time to!! She said she needed to see beds, fire extinguisher and smoke alarms. I'm just going to hope she ignored the mass quantities of boxes and furniture out of place and bags of trash and piles of laundry.....) Our homestudy is being finished up now. We are waiting on some clearances from the state of Alabama (c'mon Bama, step it up!) and then we can move this train along and get that dossier ready to head to China!
(order a shirt.)
