Many of you have been following our adoption story as it has played out for about a year now, while others of you may just be tuning in!
If you do know our story, you know we have been hard at work fundraising and pinching pennies to complete the adoption of our son, Samuel, in Uganda. For those of you who don't know our story, here is a link to my blog, where you can read about our adoption story, (and see all the fundraising we've done up until this point).
We are doing one final fundraiser in attempt to complete the fundraising goal we originally set, (we were a bit shy of that goal before we left for Uganda), as well as to try to supplement Tony staying in country the whole time, and taking some unpaid leave at work; originally our plan was to have him return home on April 19th, but after raising a toddler together for the past three weeks now, we are realizing that it is much easier together, and that we are really doing such a great job of bonding with him here, that we think it healthiest for all of us, (especially Sam), that Tony stay the whole time.
All donations are so helpful, no matter the size, and through GoFundMe, we are able to offer some 'incentives' at certain donation levels! We are really excited to offer these to you! But the largest incentive is still helping us to bring our son home. We have to purchase his airline ticket still, pay for a few big things in country, and, (if we can cover those), we'd like to keep Tony here with us, his family, so we can all grow together in this important time of attachment!
As the title of this fundraiser suggests, we plan for this to be our final fundraiser, so if you have not yet partnered with us to bring home Sam, and you want to be a part of his adoption story, NOW IS THE TIME! Get in on it through this fundraiser, (or by mailing us a check), so that you can say you were a part of this AMAZING homecoming story!
Please note: Incentives #2 & 4 require us to purchase items while here in Uganda, and to ensure we have bought enough for all who donate, we'd appreciate your donations for Incentives #2 and higher by Thursday the 30th; if we receive them later that we cannot guarantee you will get those items in a timely fashion, or possibly at all. We likely can have another adoptive family pick us up more on their visit to Uganda, but we cannot guarantee them after that date, and certainly cannot guarantee when we'd get them if someone else picked them up for us later. Thank you for your understanding!
