To tell you a little about what's been going on with us: We have tried to have another baby for the past 8 years. Logan just turned 9. I honestly didn't think I'd have a 9 year old and him still be an only child. We had no trouble getting pregnant with Logan but have since not been so lucky to conceive again. I have seen numerous fertility specialists over the years, and the "normal" remedies have not worked. At present, we are trying to save enough money to pursue shots. I turned 34 in November, though still young, I can't wait another 3 or 4 years or my age will become a factor.
I began teaching chalk painting classes last year to raise funds, and while this has helped, fertility treatments aren't covered by insurance at all. The doctor visits and evaluations aren't covered either. I plan on starting my furniture painting classes soon, but that will have to wait until this cold weather gives us a break. =)
I have never wanted to "ask" for help from others, but I see so many people having fundraisers, raffles, auctions, etc. to raise money for adoptions, why not raffle off something to help us out as well? So, taking a queue from a dear friend who is raising money for their domestic adoption, I have decided to raffle off an 11x14 frame. The value of this frame is $85. The overall measurements are 19"x22." The winner will be drawn using Random.org. I will keep a numbered list as tickets are purchased and use Random.org to choose the winning number from the total amount of tickets sold. Please use the button below to purchase your tickets. I will keep the raffle open for 2 weeks (January 30th) and will announce the winner that night at 9 p.m. The winner can choose any color she prefers.
Please share this post and help us spread the word!
