Fundraiser: Red Envelopes for Yin

UPDATE: 2/25/16

They are all taken.

All 150 envelopes.

Taken by you.  Each of you pitching in. Each and every amount is precious.  You all sacrificed and gave.  You have ginormous hearts.  

Thank you isn't enough, but it will have to do.

Our little girl is so loved and as a parent there is nothing that fills our hearts with love as others loving our children.  

You are a blessing.  You are an answer to prayer.

____________________________________

Every Chinese New Year, ever since Beth-Anne can remember she and her cousins have received money in a either a red envelope, or red paper.  It's part of Chinese New Year tradition.  Red symbolizes energy, happiness, and good luck.  The gift is not really the money but the red paper because in wrapping it in the red paper the giver is hoping to give more happiness and blessing to the receiver.

Chinese New Year was February 8th!


So our first fundraiser is going to be Red Envelopes for Yin. 

There are 150 red envelopes.  Numbered 1 through 150.  Choose a number.  And donate the amount on the envelope.  You will get "prizes" according to the donated amount.  These prizes are little thank-you's for helping us.  Each envelope is a huge gift to us and these prizes are a small way to say thank you!

Chinese New Year is February 8th and Beth-Anne's 30th birthday (the day we can submit our dossier to China) is February 20th. Wouldn't it be amazing if all 150 envelopes were gone by February 20th?

You can donate through the PayPal button on the right (if you do it through PayPal there is a 2.9% plus .30 charge for this against us.  If you have a PayPal account and you go through your own account and do a donate to friends and family and use our email address: growingourfamilybyfaith@gmail.com then there is no charge to us.), or you can send a check. If you want to mail it, let me know at growingourfamilybyfaith@gmail.com and I will send you our mailing address.  


Here are the prizes! 

$1 and above- You will be mailed the red envelope with the number and a thank you!
$20 and above- You will get to sign (or have us write your name) on the suitcase that we will bring to China to pick up our little girl.
$40 and above- You will get the Red Thread Chinese Proverb with a Feng Shui Coin tied on with a red thread. 
$60 and above - You will get a pair of Chinese chopsticks in a nice silk case.
$80 and above- You will get a Chinese lantern.
$100 and above- You will get a printed poem that was written for Yin.

Prizes are cumulative.  So if you chose number 85, you would donate $85 and then you will get the prize for $80 and all those below.  You would get the Chinese lantern, chopsticks, Red Thread proverb with coin, get to sign the suitcase, and your red envelope.

Say you want to donate an amount larger than 150.  You would choose multiple envelopes to make up that amount.
Or say an amount you wanted was take, you could add up other envelopes to total that amount. 

Make sense?

Once you decide on a number TEXT (if you know our cell numbers) or EMAIL us ASAP.  Email us at growingourfamilybyfaith@gmail.com.

We will be keeping this updated, so as soon as you let me know what number you want I will take the picture of that envelope off.  (Notice that some numbers are already gone.  They have been donated for.) 

Thank you, thank you, thank you for donating.  We don't take this lightly.  And if you would please share this with others we would love and appreciate that as well.  Most of all pray.  God is with us and we pray that we will bring Yin home soon.
