Nick's Adoption Puzzle Update

Nick loved putting puzzles together when he visited our home in March. We took our favorite picture of Nick and had it made into a 300 piece puzzle. Our goal was to sell each puzzle piece for $10 and make $3000 to cover about half of phase one fundraising. We wanted a fundraising option that was not out of anyone's price range. We sold ninety pieces and had a total of $6570. We were amazed by the love of God's people. One family donated $2,000 for a piece of Nick's puzzle. This family adopted several years ago and saw God raise the funds that they needed to bring their children home. They wanted to pay it forward and helped us with our adoption. Other puzzle pieces have sold for $10 to $1,000 dollars. Our goal was $10 for each of the 300 pieces. We are now in phase two of adoption fundraising. We need about $8000 to finance phase two. We think we have six to eight weeks before our next payment is due. We are waiting to receive our home study and then get our acceptance letter from immigration. The immigration approval will be the final part of our dossier. The dossier is the paperwork that we send to China. We have already sold a few pieces this week. We have 201 puzzle pieces left to claim. For a $10 donation per puzzle piece, we will write your name on a piece of Nick's adoption puzzle. Once the puzzle is complete, we will frame it between two pieces of glass. Nick will get to see the names of the people who helped bring him home to his family in America. If we can sell each one for just $10 each, we will have about a fourth of our next payment. To claim a piece of the puzzle you can donate via paypal. If you want your donation to be tax detuctable, you need to make your check payable to Living Hope and mail it to McDermitts, 102 Baxter Road, Carrollton, Ga. Make sure to tell us the name/s that you would like on each puzzle piece.
