Everyone who is reading this post is invited to check out the First Giving Fundraiser page just launched: http://www.firstgiving.com/givelove This fundraiser has been set up for ANY sponsor with Children International that would like to raise funds for a special needs donation to their child/child's family. The details are on the First Giving page, so make sure to read it. I know that some of you have been able to get help through another fundraising web-site. However, I have made several failed attempts to the same web-site, as have many other sponsors. I am hoping that because we are a small fundraising group just starting out, we will be able to give everyone a chance to get funds raised for their child. At a later date, we would like to do bigger projects. For now, we are focusing on fundraisers between $125 and $200, in order to give everyone a chence to help their child.
Shortly, I will be listing the pending projects. For now, Robyn's child Janet is first up. She needs the money before she starts back to school May 1st! Janet is Project #1 for our fundraising site.
Project #2 is for Barbara's sponsored child Miguel in Mexico. Miguel has been struggling in school. He shares a bed with his parents. Barbara has promised him a new bed if he goes to school every day and improves his grades. It is her hope that he will have accomplished this by the time the fundraiser is complete. If not, she will be sending the money anyway. Being able to sleep in his own bed will probably improve his rest, and he will be more likely to do better in school. I will be posting the details of Project #2 tomorrow. In the meantime, make sure to stop by the First Giving page & show Robyn your support. Thank you, everyone!
