Hi guys!

We’re moving along with another adoption fundraiser. This time we’re linking arms with the Clausen family, who are in the process of adopting two beautiful girls from Latvia.
This fundraiser is open to St. Louis and Kansas City residents.
This fundraiser will be an online auction. We will “reveal” different items for people to bid on for a full week (dates TBA). So, right now we are looking for people to donate their time, talent or possessions to help us raise funds. For those of you who support our adoption, but don’t have the money to donate, this is a great opportunity to help us out!
Here are some ideas:
1. Things – something of relative value in good condition (a set of dishes, a coat, etc.) or something handmade (a quilt, jewelry)
2. A service – What talents do you have? What do you do well? Some ideas are babysitting (one date night), cooking (a dessert a day for a week, a dessert a week for a month, a home cooked meal, etc.), maintenance (an hour of handyman labor, an oil change, painting a room, detailing a car, etc.), cleaning (2 hours of housecleaning, doing laundry for a week, etc.), photography (one photo session), technical assistance (setting up a website, etc.), accounting (free tax return preparation), lessons (voice, music, sports,etc.)… and much more. Be creative! If you own a business, this could be beneficial to you as well, gaining you customers.
We’ll post items/services to bid on on a blog and people will have the chance to bid on them until the close of the week. There will be a St. Louis page and a Kansas City page.
Please let us know if you would like to assist us in this way. Every little bit counts, and everyone who sows into this adoption will receive eternal reward! How cool is that?!?
For Harvest,
Sarah
