It seems like just yesterday that I was plotting and planning on a way to pay our $2900 agency fees. Nick loved putting puzzles together while visiting us. It seemed like an awesome idea to have a puzzle made from one of Nick's pictures and for a $10 donation put a person's name on the back of a puzzle piece. The math was easy, 300 times $10 would easily cover our agency fees. Once the puzzle was completed, we would have it framed between two pieces of glass. I have been amazed at how God has used the puzzle to raise more money that I ever imagined. We have currently sold 122 pieces and raised over $7000. I would love to sell the remaining 174 pieces for $10 each. My goal was to have a fundraiser that was not out of anyone's financial reach. If you are still wondering how I raised over $7000 selling 122 puzzle pieces at $10, some folks purchased more than one piece and then told me to put their name on one or two and resale the other pieces. It has really worked out great! If you would like to be a part of Nick's adoption puzzle donate using the link below or if you would like to make a tax detuctable donation mail a check payable to Living Hope to McDermitts, 102 Baxter Road, Carrollton, Ga 30117. The agency fees were just step one in the fundraising process, the estimated cost to finish funding Nick's adoption is about 22k.
