What you have all waited for

I have accepted the referral from Russia of this precious little girl

The time has come

Hello everyone I am leaving in just a few days to meet the little girl (God willing) I will adopt.  I have so many emotions but excitement is right at the top.  It's been a long journey and thanks to so many who in so many ways have supported me in the quest of a child.  I am eternally grateful.  


I will need to make 3 additional trips once I return and hopefully very quickly.  I still have approximately $17,000 to raise.  If I can get 1000 people to donate $17 I will meet that goal.  Although this site isn't tax deductible every donation counts.  If you would like to donate and need the tax deduction please message me and I will give you the address.  Otherwise you can use the chip in on the left.  I appreciate each and every donation big and small.  I also appreciate prayers and loving thoughts.  I would love to have you share my story too.


XOXO

Welcome

I want to welcome you all to my new fundraising blog.  As you most know I'm not good at keeping up with one blog but I am going to try to do better.  This blog as I said is for fundraising.  The first trip is quickly approaching (I don't have a date yet) but I did get my "golden ticket" yesterday.  So let the race for funds begin.  There is approximately $1470 in my FSP so  that means I need about $16600 for the first trip! 
It is such a lot of money, you might be asking what is it all for... well here is what it is all for:

Foreign Program fees: $15,000 (1/2 needed for 1st trip $7500)

Agency Fees: $7000

Travel costs: $4,000 (give or take air, accomodations, food)

Total: $18,500 ish :D

I know I can't do but God can.  I am asking for all of you to say a little prayer for this journey.  If you are led to donate it is tax deductible through www.reecesrainbow.org/sponsormeier Every penny counts.  There are so many people who are on this journey with me and I am so glad to have you all here! God bless <3
