Auction Blessings

My amazing friend, Jennifer, and her daughter, Emily, (my former 4th grade student!) are hosting an auction as a fundraiser for our adoption. 
We had an open house on Thursday and now the auction is live and open to the public for the rest of today! Check it out here!

These two have worked SOOO very hard.  They've hosted a party, found donations, publicized endlessly on FB and are now coordinating the online auction.  We are forever grateful for their efforts to help raise the ransom to bring Evie and Eli home.

The open house was so fun, filled with all kinds of amazing friends.

We are so deeply grateful for the many, many, many people who donated items.  Truly, we are overcome with gratitude.  We asked a handful of people for donations, but most of them just flooded in from generous friends and friends of friends.

We have passes to the zoo, Monkey Joes, and the Center for Puppetry Arts.

A talented lady that we've never met sewed a beautiful baby quilt and a table runner, and Jennifer is offering to embroider all kinds of items.

Friends collected donations, brought food, shared the auction, helped set up and so much more. 
 
We are more grateful than we can express!
