A few updates + new fundraiser (with a way to give to orphans)!

The update:
I finally got my official copies of my home study a week ago. Woohoo! On Monday morning, I sent my USCIS application in! It should arrive at the USCIS facility TODAY! That is so exciting to think about!


The fundraiser:
My newest fundraiser is all about giving to the orphans in Zola's country. I have 27 Beanie Babies that I no longer need. I figured that there was no better way to get them out of here than to donate them to the children in Zola's country who are still living in orphanages and waiting for their forever families!

The details
- For every $5* donation, you can "sponsor" a Beanie Baby and choose which one will travel with me to Eastern Europe. (*Chilly the polar bear, the big beanie, is $10)
- Once a beanie is sponsored, I will add your name to a "thank you" post stating which one you are sponsoring (if you wish to remain anonymous, please let me know).
- When I travel to Zola's country, I will bring all of the beanies with me that have been sponsored.
- To sponsor a beanie, please donate to my Reece's Rainbow FSP and e-mail me at zolas.adoption@gmail.com or comment here with which beanie you'd like to sponsor.
