Our family is trying to raise money to bring home a sweet orphan with Down syndrome named Anastasia. She recently turned 5 years old and we are in fear that she will be transferred to an institution if we can't get to her fast enough. To read about our plans to adopt Anastasia go to the post following this one.
We need to raise $30,000. Yes that's right $30,000 fat smackers. **Remember, no donation is too small*** I don't look at this like we are "paying" for a child. As someone stated on another adoption blog, the money we have to raise is like a ransome that we have to pay in order to rescue her. God tells us : Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27 So see, God wants us to take care of the orphans. Can you please help us? You may not be in a place to adopt and we realize that we as a family can't save them all. BUT we can save one and you can be a part of that rescue mission!
Okay here is how the fundraiser will work. Remember, no donation is too small! Donate $5 and we will send you an awareness bracelet with "Saving Anna" on it and also put your name in one time in the drawing. If you donate $25 we will put your name in the give away 25 times (yes 25!!) After the bracelet sale is over on August 31, you will be entered in our giveaway for the following:
1 - Apple Ipad 16 gb with wi-fi
1- Ipod touch
1- $100 cash
You can donate by clicking on the ChipIn button to the right OR you can make a tax deductable donation by clicking on the Photo at the top right that says "Anna, help us bring her home". If you make a tax deductable donation please make sure that you mention Anastasia for the Williams family so that they will know who the donation is going for. ***Also if you donate through Reece's Rainbow for a tax deducation you will need to email me and let me know so that I can enter your name in the give away for the Ipad, Ipod touch and $100. Everyone who donates online will receive a hot pink awareness bracelet with "Saving Anna" imprinted on it.
There is one more way to have your name in the give away! If you spread the word about Anastasia's rescue mission to your friends, family, coworkers, etc and they donate YOU will have another entry for the give away!!! Tell them to mention your name when they donate so that I can give you another chance. Even if you aren't able to donate please pass the word on and you can still be entered for the drawing by your friends donation. We also ask for your prayers that God will guide us on this journey and provide a way for Anna to be free!! Thank you!!
The give away for the Ipad and other prizes will be on August 31, 2010.
