#chrome buffalo

Through the combined efforts of t-shirt and coffee sales, direct donations, online and in-person yard sales, and our recent Pampered Chef show, Bee and I thrilled to announce that we have PASSED our fundraising goal.

We were hoping that we might be able to raise $5000, and we just clocked in at $5071 in just one year of efforts.  We're blown away by everyone's help and generosity, and we are happy to take a break from fundraising now.  The yardsaling, especially, was a lot of work!

Check out our awesome partners, Chrome Buffalo, and consider joining forces with them to fund your own adoption or special project.  We have had a really positive experience so far and love the story behind their company.  Plus, their products are really cute and we can't wait to get our shirts in the mail!

Since we have some big expenses coming up in the adoption process, we've been researching different ways to pursue grants and fundraising opportunities.  This week, we have been given the opportunity to partner with Chrome Buffalo, a nonprofit t-shirt drive that creates unique shirt designs and will give us $11 for each shirt that we sell until August 16th.

This is the design we have chosen:

We're encouraging any buyers to send us a picture of them in their shirts so we can make a photo album to send to our child once we're matched so they can see all of the people who helped to bring them home.
