Thanks to my very creative friend, Mary Leigh, we are going to do a T-shirt fundraiser to help with the last minute costs of the adoption. Mary Leigh has created a super cute shirt "Superman Was Adopted". I loved it and purchased two for the boys before we had the idea of selling them ourselves.
For each shirt sold, half of the procedes will go to the cost of making the shirt, and half will go to our adoption fund. Should we happen to raise more money than we need, the rest will be donated to the Waiting Child program at Holt.
We will be taking orders for these shirts until March 5th - which just gives you two weeks to order. This will give me time to order them from Mary Leigh and ship them to you (or hand deliver to you with my two little helpers) before we leave in April. Since this is a fundraiser to bring Siri home, I won't place the order till March 11th. So, if you order a shirt you can expect to receive it by the mid March at the latest.
The cost of the shirts are $19.95. The adult Double XL and Triple XL are a bit more, becuase they cost more to make. There is no tax or shipping.
The shirt is available in Royal Blue, Red, Black, or a Pink.
There are two various shades of pink based on the size. Infant and Toddler shirts come in Raspberry (the darker pink) and Youth and Adult come in Heliconia (lighter pink). That is why you see two pink shirts in the samples. The shirts are 100% pre-shrunk cotton in a regular t-shirt cut.To place your order, check the right hand side of the blog. If you are not a fan of the T-shirt, but would still like to help out, you can simply donate by clicking on the "Donate" tab. And, if you are strapped for cash right now, the most important request is for prayer support. Please pray for Siri that her transition into our family is smooth. Also, please pray for the foster family as they are losing a member that has been a part of their family for 18 months.
E-mail David or I if you have any questions.
