So I think I finally have an accurate update on our funding!
At the start of September we needed to pay our $6,360.00 in agency fees to our agency. We had $3500 in our adopt together fund and we finished up our shoe drive. Both of these organizations pay our agency directly…
So I requested a grant from Adopttogether and yesterday they sent $3,400 to our agency. So that took our fees down to $2,940.00! Yay!
Next I called the shoe drive company and got an update that they sent a total of $1,029.00.
So our agency fees now sit at $1,911.00 and our travel cost are approximately $10,000. (Yes plane tickets and hotels for a 2-4 week trip to Vietnam are every bit this expensive or more.)
Right now our adoption fund account reads $4,100.47, and our Reece Rainbow account has $617.82
So we are $7,192.71 away from having all the funds we ned to go to Vietnam and bring our baby girl home!
$7,192.71 TO GO BEFORE DECEMBER!
On the home front, we are slowly piecing our house back together. We got all the mold out and are now working on replacing the floor downstairs and rebuilding the currently gutted bathroom, and we are looking into financing to replace the central AC unit so that we will have central heat before the weather gets cold. Ideally we want to get this all done before we travel. It will be quite enough coming half way around the world to live in a different climate with a new family she has never met. We do not want to also have construction projects going on while Rori is trying to acclimate to a new home.
Thank you to everyone that has helped so far! We are working on a few more fundraisers for October and at least one for November. Please keeps us in your prayers! God's got this!
