In early 2013 my husband and I completed an adoption from Ecuador and
brought home our daughter, Emilia. This process was in the wake of a 4
year, failed adoption in Kyrgyzstan, and the loss of our sweet boy,
Akyl.
Emilia's process took a year of paperwork, saving, working like
cray-zy and fundraising. There are significant expenses associated with
adoption that make it incredibly difficult for many families to adopt.
We were one of those families!
One of the most successful
fundraisers we had for Emilia's adoption was a Thirty-One Gifts party
hosted by a fellow Adoptive Mom, and someone I am now blessed to call friend! Prior to that fundraiser, I had never heard of Thirty-One! I was
excited about how well our fundraiser had gone and how popular those
Thirty-One totes were. So when I started looking for ideas to help other
families fundraise, Thirty-One was at the top of my list. After finding
out it was a faith based company that was experiencing remarkable
growth, I decided to join.
Doing a Thirty-One fundraiser is FREE for the fundraising family. It
is something that will interest others who aren't already in the
adoption community. And it's something that gives those who want to
support a fundraising family an avenue to do so (while shopping for some
amazing products)!
Since starting my fundraisers in
early 2013, I have been blessed to meet so many great families who are
working diligently to bring their children home. I love the opportunity
to get to know these amazing families and be part of the journey to
their child. I've met some pretty amazing people!
All
of the commission from each fundraiser will go directly to the
fundraising family. If you are not in process to adopt, but know someone
who is and would like to help, you can host a Thirty-One fundraiser for
them!! The adopting family receives commission from the party, and YOU
receive all the hostess credit and incentives!!
If you are in the midst of your adoption process
and would be interested in hosting a Thirty-One Fundraiser, please contact me. I
would be so honored to help your family!
