We met our goal!!!

I want to say a BIG thank you to each and every one of you that have helped us reach our goal of $2100 to get Alina here this summer. If you bought a Yankee Candles, Poinsettias, AutoBell Carwash Tickets, Tupperware or simply gave us a donation you have helped us reach out to this precious 9 year old girl once again this year! We couldn't have done it without ALL of you! Last year we ended up paying $500 out of our own pockets in order to get Alina here. This year we were able to raise ALL the money! :) This money goes toward her travel expenses and visa. All our money has been turned in and we are just waiting to get her visa picture. The kids will be arriving on June 20th and I have a lot to do to get things ready before then. I still need to purchase bedding and go through her clothes from last year. I'm sure time will fly between now and then! I can't wait to see her smiling face!
