Let me tell you about the person that I'm helping with this particular fundraiser. Her name is Nina Thompson and she's our case manager at Children's House International. When our former agency went out of business in the middle of our adoption, Nina offered to take on their Bulgaria cases so we could all continue with our adoptions without many delays or extra expenses. She made the transition as quick and easy as possible, and she's been a great support for all of her families both during the process and after the children come home. She has a passion for helping orphans and works so hard to help them find their forever families.
So why am I trying to raise funds for Nina? This amazing woman is donating one of her kidneys to a former Bulgarian orphan whom she helped bring home earlier this year. You can read all about Gavin and help his family at http://www.gofundme.com/Gavins-kidney-fund. Nina started the screening process back in August and the transplant will take place soon. She will have many expenses associated with travel back and forth to where Gavin lives, medical expenses, and time away from work while she recovers. All commission earned from this fundraiser will go directly to Nina's fund (http://www.gofundme.com/58bycg). The hostess benefits (free food!!) will be sent to Nina to give her family easy meal options to prepare while she recovers.
The holidays are coming up and Tastefully Simple products make great gifts. Why not get some shopping done while helping Nina at the same time? To order online, please use this link so I know the order is for Nina's fundraiser:
The fundraiser will be running through the end of the month, so be sure to order soon. Thanks so much for your support!!
