Things are moving so quickly this time around. We were submitted January 22, 2015 and normally would travel 4-6 weeks after that, but we are traveling February 8, 2015. So, so excited!!! But also nervous as heck cause we don't have all the funding we need for this first trip. We have fundraisers going and we thought we were due to travel mid March, giving us plenty of time to raise more funds and get more grants.
We have an offer from an organization called Angels in Disguise and they are willing to donate $2,500 to our agency account, but there is a catch. They will only donate if another company or organization will donate the same amount, making the total donation $5,000. This would be just enough to get us to the limit for the first trip. Prayers are being sent up to God and he is listening, we will get the funding. We are trusting in him.
Maureen's Birthday is February, we just don't know what day. I think God gave us travel dates so much earlier than expected because he wants us to be with her on her special day, so she will not be alone when she turns the big 2!!
If you have a company and want to help or know someone who does, email me at shawnandlola@ntin.net and I will put you in contact with Penny from Angels in Disguise to arrange the matching donation.
Thank you to everyone who has donated on behalf of baby Maureen!! God bless you.
