Fundraising {A Couple Things}
First of all, I would like to say that I am absolutely humbled by the support we have received throughout this process. When we started this process, we were not necessarily out looking to adopt. However, after learning of the all the kids internationally with Down syndrome and the horrible conditions that some of them were in, we became determined to help. The most important thing, however, is that we would not be able to do this without your help. So thank you!
Garage sale ... we have scheduled our garage sale for next Saturday, August 23. We have already received so many great donations and they continue to come in. If anyone has anything they would like us to pick up locally, let us know and we can schedule a time. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to our garage sale ... the generosity is overwhelming!
Raffle ... we have one day left in our $5 raffle to win a $100 gift certificate to The Polkadot Platypus! The raffle has done very well so far ... we only have a little ways to go before reaching our goal. I know we can make it! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has participated ... again, the generosity is overwhelming! To enter, click on the chipin below. If you would like to buy a ticket but don't have paypal, send me an email letting me know that you will be mailing your payment.
Tax-deductible donations ... we have an account set up through Reece's Rainbow that accepts tax-deductible donations. That money will be disbursed to us when it is time for us to pay that big chunk of money {which is pretty much soon ... yikes}. Donations can be made through paypal by clicking here or by mailing checks {include a note saying you want to donate to The Balsis Family and include your email address} to:

Direct donations ... if you prefer that your donation come directly to us, you can send your donation through paypal to bethanybalsis@mac.com. Many of you have asked how you can donate since you do not have a paypal account. Donations can also be mailed to:

Once again, thank you so much for all of your support ... we cannot wait to get to Russia and share our journey with you!
