Our latest fundraiser

*Yellow shirt is available in sizes 2/4 & small
*Green shirt is available in sizes small, medium, and large
*Blue shirt is available in sizes 4/5 & small
*White shirt is only available in size 2/4

Something great will be happening in February. I am very excited about it. My biological daughter who is 4 will be on the CI home page. Her name is Jaden, and she is INCREDIBLE> I don't want to ruin the story for you, but let me just say this part. We have 4 sponsored children that have HIV/AIDS> It is very important that they keep their health at an optimal level at all times. Which means, they HAVE to take their meds at the same time everyday, take vitamins and supplements everyday, EAT everyday, get a good sleep EVERYDAY (etc.) So, Jaden decided (on her own) that she is going to buy a bed for all 4 of the sick children, so they can stay healthy. She has a jar of coins that she is collecting for the purpose. Plus, I helped her set up an Ebay fundraiser for the same purpose. She is selling Wiggles t-shirts. So, if you find yourself in need of a Wiggles shirt, look no further! They start in child's size 2/4 (2 & 3 year old size) to child's size large (about a 10, 11, or 12 year old size). This is the WORST time to sell on Ebay, so I hope there are some Wiggle fans out there!! The Ebay button is in the upper right hand corner of the blog. I will keep everyone posted on the progress on the fundraiser. Right now, she has a little over $30 in coins, and she is just starting with the shirts. One of the children only needs $116 to buy a new bed!! If you know of someone with small children who might be interested, please pass it on. You can, also, order them directly which would mean more money would go to the cause. Each shirt cost us $1.08, so anything over that goes to the beds. For direct buys, you can purchase the shirts for $5 a piece + $2 shipping. Each additional item is $1 for shipping. For every shirt sold, $4 will go to the purchase of beds!!
Here is the breakdown of bed costs:
Dulce~ $116
Diego~ $207
Jonathan~ $181
*we are waiting for a report back from CI about how much Leydi's bed will be, and if she needs one. This is the way that Jaden has it set up for bed distribution in the order of who will receive their bed first (according to Jaden):
1. Leydi
2. Jonathan
3. Dulce
4. Diego
However, if we raise the $116 before we hear back from CI, we will swap out Leydi and Dulce, so that Dulce can get her bed while we wait for word back from CI> But, that is not the way Jaden wants it done, so we will see if we can get a fast response.

Thanks everyone!
