We're getting down to the wire. We only have about $3,600 more to raise before we are all set to go to Brazil.
It's getting close and its to the point where it gets really exciting! We've already started setting things aside that we want to bring. Today we cleaned our rooms and our closets and found clothes and trinkets that we dont use anymore that we can bring to give away to the people. I can't wait to see the kids' faces when we hand them new clothes and toys.
Anyways thanks for everyones support.

A Couple of Updates
Hey!
Just wanted to update everyone. By the end of December we raised $3,800; thank you so much to everyone who donated. Here's the catch...we only have a little less than 3 months till we leave and we still have $11,200 before then. Please send our info to everyone...we need to do some serious fundraising these next couple of months.
Also just wanted to point out that on the side of the blog we have links to our other pages that have pictures and stories from previous years. Please check those out so you can see what we've done. They are a working progress and are not complete yet but give you an idea of what is going on. You can comment at the bottom of any of those pages (or any of our posts for that matter). And please do! We want to hear your questions so we can answer them and we also want feedback and advice. We want to know that people are really seeing this so please comment...we will try to get back to you as quickly as possible. It's so great to get feedback!
Also just keep checking out our facebook pages (Todd, Shelby, or Paige Cosgrove). We are trying to spread the word to as many people...if we can get more people to donate, each person needs to donate less. If you could all give just $1 and then passed our info on and those people gave $1 and passed the info on...and etc. our donations would increase exponentially and we would meet our goal in no time. Comment on this or on facebook if you want to donate anything.
Thank you for your support!
