It is a beautiful thing to see such an outpouring of support for our son! I was telling a coworker today that though Malachi may feel very alone right now... There is a multitude of people here in Mississippi eagerly awaiting his arrival! Project 30 is tangible proof of that!
My birthday week is next week!
I wanted to write an update on the Project 30 fundraisers although I am confident and hopeful that they have been filling your newsfeeds :-)
We have 28 fundraisers!! We only need 2 more to reach the goal of 30.
I want to be as effective as possible in this blog post so I am going to try to "group" some of them together.
Online Silent Auction:
6 of the fundraisers will be silent auction items on Facebook next week, so stay tuned!
These adorable handmade dolls are one of the auction items!
