Sweet Donation

I received probably my sweetest donation to date. An eleven-year-old girl has been taught by her parents to take part of her allowance and give it away. Where she gives it is all up to her though.

I was over at her house the other day with my kids, and her mom told her about how I was going to Africa. When the family sat down to discuss how the children would give their money this month, Morgan decided to donate to my trip. Sweetest bundle of ones I have ever seen! I hope I can make her proud!

Now That's A Girls Night

Last night my amazing friend, Jody, held a fundraiser for my trip. When she was in Uganda bringing home their six-year-old daughter this fall, she would go to the Friday markets and buy the most beautiful jewelery, bags, scarves, and Christmas ornaments all with the plan to hold a party and sell them to raise money for me to make my way to Africa, too!!! Wow, is that friendship or what?!!

It had all the makings of a great girls night out. Food, wine, shopping, and talking... but at the end of the night I am now so much closer to my goal! The women I met there were so nice and so generous and I am glad to now know them ;)

I hope that anyone receiving these gift for Christmas just loves them!
It means the world to have supportive friends that will go out of their way to help the great cause (and their husbands for helping). I am truly blessed.
