We are in fund raising mode and want to ask everyone to help. We have been awarded a matching grant from Hand in Hand Christian Adoption. Basically we need to raise $3,500.00 and they will match that amount and pay expenses directly to the adoption agency. Hand in Hand has been awesome with our first two adoptions and they are helping out again. So, we going to be sending out letters asking all of our friends, family, and anyone else we can think of to generously donate to the next Chambers child(s).
If anyone has other fund raising ideas we are open to all suggestions. This adoption will be more of a challenge for us than the first two. Basically life happens and we will need to raise most of the money for this adoption(s). And to add to the challenge, we are approved for a sibling group of two which will add about $15,000.00 for the second child bringing the total to approximately $45,000.00. We have paid a little over $6,000.00 so far but this leaves us with a long way to go....... Melissa continues to be very confident that "God will provide for us".
Now to the fun stuff. Here are some photos from our summer so far. We took a road trip to Traverse City, Michigan to celebrate Uncle Jake's 50th birthday. Had a great and very relaxing week. Long drive in car but we had a lot of fun with the family. We rented a few cabins on Lake Leelanau.
