After 2 1/2 years, the Journey to Hope is almost over! We finally traveled to Russia in August where we met and officially "accepted" our little girl. We are now waiting for our court date and expect to go back again sometime before the end of the year to bring her home, which means our greatest adoption expenses are yet to come!
With this in mind, October 7th-9th is Milford's Annual Fall City-Wide Yard Sale weekend and we are having another garage sale/fundraiser! This will be our fourth and final garage sale since we began the international adoption process in the spring of 2009. We have started collecting donated items and already have a garage and basement full of things to sell, but we still need your help!
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Spread the word to your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers and/or bring a friend and come buy some stuff yourself! Or, if you have items you wish to donate, please contact us. We are trying to gather as much "stuff" to sell as possible and make this our biggest and best garage sale/fundraiser yet! As always, all proceeds will go to the Journey to Hope adoption fund, to be used specifically towards our "second trip" travel/adoption expenses.
Here are some of the items we have collected so far and will be selling at the garage sale:
