Our September Symphony ends today...
 
We still have families who are trying to get fully funded so JOIN IN!!!
 
PLUS.....
 
The Horton Giveaway ends today....
 
The Taylor Giveaway ends today...
 
The Tam Giveaway ends today....
 
 
GO CHECK OUT ALL THE PRIZES ON ALL THOSE GIVEAWAYS!!
 
Entry into theirs increases your entries into ours!!!
 
 
COME ON... HOW COOL IS THAT????
 
YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING SOME VERY NICE PRIZES ENDS TODAY SO JOIN IN!!!!
 

IT IS A SEPTEMBER SYMPHONY....

WE HAD $20,700 IN MATCHING GRANTS..

WE NEEDED TO RAISE:  $16,700.00
(To match the 20,700 in matching grants being offered)
 

WE HAVE RAISED OVER:  $23,748.00
(This includes the money for the Rowes, Dobrovits, Tam's, Deutsches and Brenton that is over and above the matching grants.  It does NOT include the hundreds of dollars that has been donated to the Hortons, Taylors, Unroes and Grace Knuth)


If you add in the 20,700 in matching grants that were on the table....
 
All total, counting the matches.... 

WE HAVE RAISED:$44,448.00

IS THAT UNBELIEVABLE OR WHAT????
 
Yet we still have two days left in this giveaway.
 
Conventional wisdom would say to quit while we are ahead.
 
But I want to keep this Giveaway open because we need to get our families fully funded.
 
The Rowes are fully funded for ONE but are hoping and praying that they will be able to tuck another little one away in their suitcase if the Lord opens the door....
 
The Dobrovits still need $2,245 to be fully funded.
 
The Deutsches are IN COUNTRY and still need $1,215 to be fully funded.
 
The Tams thought they were fully funded until they were given the sobering news that Caroline has to have a test that takes 8 weeks to read and her director is refusing to let her take the test early (Gerard and Estelle had their test done early and so the Deutsches will be able to take them out in the normal time span for that country).  Plus, the Tams are looking at traveling during Christmas which is going to increase their process and tickets will be more expensive.  They are now needing another 2,988 to be fully funded.

So join in if you haven't!! 

We have two more days to fill up their buckets!!
