Our fundraiser is officially over

A HUGE thank you to all who have donated, spread the word, and prayed for a family for Angelina.   God has provided a family for Angelina AND we have raised over $10,000 between your donations and a grant from Reece's Rainbow!   We have met all of our goals for this fundraiser with your help and God's grace!  So happy!  

Just in case, here is the Green's blog again:  www.thesunflowerchronicles.blogspot.com.

We need to wait a few days for Reece's Rainbow to process all of the donations and enter into Angelina's fund.  Hopefully we will have the complete list by Wed/Thurs. as I don't want anyone to be left out of our drawings!   Thank you for your patience and I am just so thrilled that we were able to help the Green family bring Angelina home!

Stay tuned for more details to come about when we will be ready for our drawings.  We will be using Random.org to draw the winning number(s).

"Thank you for finding a family for my best friend Angelina.  I am so happy she will have a loving home!"

"I hope that one day, Angelina and I will get together and play babies again!"

Blessings,
Nina

Another Item to Help Bring Angelina home!

NEW! Carrie is donating this ADORABLE handmade Nativity set to the fundraiser/giveaway for Angelina!

Also, if you make a $50 donation to Reece's Rainbow (a specific child or the general fund) she will make a 5-piece Nativity set for you! Please contact her prior to ordering with the word NATIVITY in the subject to confirm availability.

carriejoywarren{at}hotmail{dot}com

 

Sets may vary in colors and materials used. As these are individually made by hand as orders come in, ship out time may take a bit. Each set takes about 2 weeks to complete. A sweet finger puppet version is available for $35 at this time too.

Set includes Mary, Joseph, Jesus (can be taken out of sling), (1) sheep, and (1) donkey. 

Thank you Carrie!!!

 

Fundraiser ends TODAY!

Make sure to get your donations in by the end of the day TODAY!

The Green family is so grateful for all of your donations and prayers!   They are working very hard to get things moving quickly.   www.thesunflowerchronicles.blogspot.com.

Our drawings for the iPad2 and the other prizes will most likely take place on Wednesday or Thursday.  This will give me time to get all the names and donation amounts from Reece's Rainbow to be sure we have everyone who has donated and will be entered in the drawing.   Check back for updates.

We also have another prize for the giveaway for Angelina - a really adorable Nativity set, hand-made by Carrie (who worked very hard and fast to get these done and photographed for our drawing!).    A HUGE thank you to Carrie for her time and energy in helping us with Angelina's fundraiser!   Trying to get the photos up of this soon!  More details about the Nativity set to come soon!

HAPPY WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY!

                            Jon, Julia (adopted from Ukraine in 2009 by our dear friends, the Booth family), and Emma!

HAVE YOU HUGGED SOMEONE WITH DOWN SYNDROME TODAY?   :)

Last week to enter the drawing! NEW iPad2!

In place of the previous iPad that we were going to give away, we now have the NEW iPad2 available for our donation give-away.  Brianna worked hard to get this newest version and with God's help, she was able to return the "old" version and get the newest version that just came out!

                         iPad2, 16 GB, wi-fi, black, retail value $499.00!

  

So, here are the details again of our giveaway for the BRAND NEW iPad2:

$100= 20 entries 


$150= 35 entries 


$300= 80 entries!!!

Don't forget the second giveaway for those of you with blogs, twitter and/or FaceBook.  Help us spread the word about Angelina and this awesome fundraiser!

I will donate a $25 debit gift card that can be used almost anywhere for almost anything from gas, groceries, movies, Target, hotels, restaurants, etc. to the winner of this particular drawing.  Every person, whether or not they have donated to the iPad giveaway, can earn up to TWO ENTRIES PER DAY by posting a link to this giveaway on their blog and/or FaceBook!  So you could earn $25 just for posting a link.  So… leave a comment here with a link to your blog post or letting us know you posted it on FB for EACH TIME that you do!  (Winner’s links will be verified).  Encourage your friends to post as well! 


The IPad2 giveaway and Gift card giveaway will end on March 21st (World Down Syndrome Day!) so get your donations in, post, fundraise, and please spread the word!  

By the grace of God, Angelina now has a family!  They would really appreciate your help with a donation to help them bring Angelina home!
