I have been hearing from sponsors who have received their special needs project breakdown and pictures (ones that I have not yet received from CI in an e-mail). It looks like (at least for the time being) the sponsors themselves will get the info in the mail before CI gets around to sending the info to me... With this being said, there are several projects coming up. Jennifer, I know yours is one of the projects that will be set up at the end of this month or beginning of next month.
PLEASE, send me the info when you get it in the mail. I need the breakdown, total, write up & scanned pics of all of the projects. Because there are so many people waiting in line for a fundraiser, I don't want it to slow down due to me not having the info from you.
Because of the big differences in amounts and what the family chooses to do, I can't set up a fundraiser for a blanket $500. I will have to wait until we have the official special needs request back from CI (the only exception to this would be in an emergency situation like a natural disaster where the family has lost everything, the child is sick and needs chemo or other treatments that are not provided as part of the sponsorship program, etc~ emergencies are determined on a case by case basis and should be rare).
If your fundraiser is within days of starting, and we have not yet heard from CI, this is what will happen:
1. If you are, for example, project #11, and you do not have the info back from CI, we would do the project that is in the project #12 spot. Your project would then have changed to #12.
2. Your project would keep getting pushed back one spot at a time until the request comes back from CI (Hopefully, it would only be pushed back once, since most of the projects are set up in the positions they need to be in to allow time for CI).
If your project is pushed back, don't get angry. We are all here for the same purpose~ to help these kids. The faster we get the projects up, the faster the children & their families get help! I don't want a lag in the projects because that just makes it longer for everyone to get their children taken care of. PLEASE be happy and supportive of everyone in the group. We are making a BIG difference TOGETHER!! Remember: We may be able to move a rock on our own, but we can move boulders together!

Plus I want to point out that everyone is "paying it forward" so every project that is being funded is for someone who has already paid forward for other people. So it really doesn't matter what order we go in. It will all get done.
