Fund-Raising Friday

Soda Cans ~ We are heading to the bank today to make our first deposit of soda can cash!!  We have now received $86.30 in soda can deposits and have decided to make our first deposit a little early.  WE LOVE SODA CANS!!!!!

Photo Scanning ~ We have completed 2 photo scanning orders and are now closing this fund-raiser {for now, at least}.  However, if you become interested in us scanning and archiving your photos, please contact us and we can arrange to do this for you at a later date.  Thanks!!!!!

Sponsor a Puzzle Piece ~ We now have 65 puzzle pieces sponsored and paid for!!!!  Praise the Lord!!!!!  Special Blessing: We received a note and check in the mail this week from a couple in NE who is also adopting two children from Ethiopia.  They have been following our blog and decided that they wanted to participate in sponsoring some puzzle pieces.  Our hearts were sooooooo very touched by their sacrifice in the midst of their own financial mountains!!!  Thank You!!!!!!!

Mary Kay Adoption Fund-Raiser Party ~ Pam's "Mary Kay" party is tomorrow morning and she is excited to see who will come.  A couple of people have already ordered a few items on-line {www.marykay.com/clistyporter} and we will be receiving those profits in a short while.  If you would like to still order, please visit the above site and simply make a note that it is for the "Maxwell Children."  Thanks!!!!!


New Goal ~ Our thermometer has been updated to show the progress towards our next financial goal.  The $830 should be what we need for the USCIS Fee, Update Fee & Fingerprinting.  What a blessing to see that it is already over half way filled up!!!!!  We are very hopeful {and prayerful!!!} that with all the over-time Nathan has gotten this past week, we will be able to meet this goal within the next two weeks {that's how long before he gets paid again!!}.
