It Takes a Village: The 200 Envelopes Project

Hey Everyone!

We have our first home study interview scheduled for May 3rd!!!  With your support from the puzzle fundraiser, we have been able to raise enough funding for our first 2 adoption fees!!!  Thank you so much!  (Thank you notes along with pics of your puzzle piece(s) are heading your way soon!)

The time has come for us to take on our second (and most ambitious) fundraiser yet!  We are 3 fees, 4 interviews and a waiting period away from bringing our baby home!!!!  However, these next two fees are the largest…so I would be lying if I said anxiety hasn’t crept in a bit.

This fundraiser has the potential to fund 90% of our remaining financial goal!!!!  So this is a HUGE deal to us!

Personally, I have been hesitant to do this fundraiser because it is SO BIG.  But after experiencing the support you have given us already, and trusting that our God can exceed our wildest dreams—we felt led to DREAM BIG!

We are calling this next fundraiser the “200 Envelopes Project.”  It’s a pretty simple concept.  We will have 200 envelopes.  Each envelope will have a number.  That number represents the dollar amount.  Once that amount has been claimed and donated, the envelope gets crossed out.   The fundraiser continues until all 200 envelopes are claimed.  Once all the envelopes are claimed—we have then raised over $20,000 (only $1,900 short from being FULLY FUNDED!)

This is going to require our entire village!  

Here it goes…these are the 4 steps for you to follow if you feel led to contribute:

Step 1: Join our Facebook Page, HERE.  
By joining, you can follow our progress on where we are in the adoption journey as well as stay updated on which envelopes are still available.

Step 2: Choose the envelope that has the cash value you wish to give or even raise yourself by doing a fundraiser of your own for baby Hollis.

--Make sure the envelope you want isn’t crossed out
--If the envelope that represents your donation is crossed out, choose multiple envelopes that will equal the amount you feel led to give/raise.  For example: If you wish to donate $100, you could claim several envelopes that equal the sum of 100.

Step 3: Give/raise your donation fast!
The interview process is going to take 4-6 weeks depending on scheduling and we will need to raise a bulk of this money QUICKLY!  
--Email me (whitneyhollis14@gmail.com) or message me on Facebook to claim your envelope number and I will give instruction on how to pay your donation amount.

Step 4: Dance and jump around right where you are because YOU ARE AMAZING and I want you to celebrate yourself and the huge role you are playing in this amazing journey of finding baby Hollis!!!  

We can’t even express how much we love and appreciate you!

Let’s bring this baby home!!!!
