Beginning Fundraising

First of all, thanks again for stopping by and keeping updated. This post is to outline a few of the ways we already have set up to support us as we raise money for our upcoming adoption. Klif and I will be raising money on our own, applying for grants, and fundraising in various ways, all of which will be totaled on our fundraising thermometer on the right of this page. We look forward to watching it grow with you.

To make a direct donation, which will have the greatest impact on our bottom line, you have a couple of options. To donate online, either directly from your bank account or from a credit card, you can go to www.paypal.com, click on the Send Money - Send Money Online button on the top of the screen, and go from there. The best email address to send money to is jordan.w.rhodes@gmail.com. PayPal is a safe, established financial website, and I have been using it for over 10 years. It is secure and the information that you input is never shared. (We won't see your information either - PayPal does all of the work.)

The second option for direct donations is to mail the funds directly to us. If you don't have our address and this is something you would like to do, please comment with your email or phone number and I will get the info to you.

A third option considering buying items off of my crafting blog. 65% of each sale will go into our adoption fund, 25% will go into Will's savings, and the remaining 10% will go toward more materials. The address for that store is klifandjordan.blogspot.com. If there is something you would like, you can comment on that item, send me an email, or just call.

Klif and I will be contributing to the fund regularly with our income from work, and we are just hoping to raise the money faster with these additional fundraising efforts.

We may pursue other avenues in the future, and I will keep you updated here!

Thanks again so much!

Klif, Jordan, and Will
