Well, let me just tell you!
In China, it is a tradition to give money in a red envelope for the Chinese New Year or at other special events, such as birthdays or weddings. (Red symbolizes luck in China.) Hence, our 150 red envelopes fundraiser was born!
Please consider participating in what we hope will be our LAST fundraiser for Baby Thomas.
The way it works is simple. You choose a number between 1 and 150. Whatever number you choose is how much you are agreeing to donate to our adoption. It's that simple! As people donate, I will mark off the "envelopes" on the picture below so we can see how many envelopes we have to go!
The truly amazing thing about this fundraiser is... if it is successful we will have reached our complete goal for our adoption!!!
This is an awesome way for you and/or your family to join us in helping get our little one home from China. (We hope to be able to have more specifics on who exactly that will be very soon!)
To claim an envelope, just let either me or Chris know! You can tell us on Facebook, e-mail us, text us, tell us in person, etc. If the number you want is taken, we will just give you another number very close to the one you chose.
