Well, Reece's Rainbow's Christmas Campaign has come and gone. I was able to raise almost $1,700 for AJ with the help of some amazing friends and supporters. I am so excited for this little boy's future. I am choosing to believe that there is an amazing family out there for him and that he won't grow up in an orphanage. He'll be home getting therapies and love and nutrition. I have to believe that to keep on keeping on for these kids and families.
So, my next goal is to get AJ's grant to $2,500. When he gets there, he will be put on a "sizable grant" list through Reece's Rainbow. Hopefully that will mean more visibility for him and a family sooner, rather than later. There is a thermometer on the right of the blog to keep you all updated on the progress to the goal.
To that end, the following fund raisers will be ongoing.
*Scarves and Skirts for Sara. 50% of each purchase from now until January 1st will go to AJ's grant.
*Plexus. New Commissions earned each month will go to AJ's grant. Feel free to ask questions!
*Homemade Lip Balm, Sugar Scrub, and Bath Salts. 50% of each purchase goes to AJ's grant. Custom scents and flavors available.
*C&E Baby Blankets. $10 of each blanket purchased will go to AJ's grant. Just mention AJ when you place your order.
*Teacher Tired Shirts and Hoodies. Through February 16th.
*World Down Syndrome Day Shirts. Through March 7th. Long sleeve tees, tshirts, ladies tees, hoodies, and mugs available.
Past Fund Raisers:
*LuLaRoe Pop-Up. Online. November 6-10. Any sales made this week benefit AJ. And LLR matches the donation of the consultants! We raised $271!
*Ornament Sale. Make a donation to AJ's account of $35 or more and get a Christmas ornament with his picture on it. November 1 - December 31.
*Dress Down Day at Batavia High School - December 8th
AJ is not even a year old!! Imagine---he could celebrate his second birthday with is family. He could have therapies and early intervention years before Sara did. And LOVE!
