SHEETS!!!!

A sheets fundraiser. I've never heard of a sheets fundraiser. Why sheets?

Well, everyone who owns a bed needs sheets! The best and easiest fundraisers are those where I don't have to convince you that you need something. Everyone needs sheets.

These are great sheets! They are VERY soft. They are made of microfiber, which is equal to a 1200 thread count. Microfiber holds its color so you don't need to worry about them fading or losing their softness after multiple washes.

Each set is $35, regardless of size or color, plus shipping. Please allow 2-3 weeks for those who need shipping, this is because I have a minimum of 12 for each order, they then send me the sheets and I send them out to you, all that shipping takes time.

Some people seem to think this deal is to good to be true. The company offers wholesale prices for fundraisers, it's that simple and we make a great profit. These are the same great sheets many stores sell, but we get the profits for our adoption instead of some stingy store.

How to order? It's so easy you won't believe it. Just tell me what size and color you want and pay me. If you need shipping I need to know your zipcode and I can calculate the shipping cost for you. Those who live locally don't have to pay anything for shipping since I'll give you the sheets.

How do I pay? If you live locally you can give me a check or pay by credit card. Of course those who don't see us regularly will have to pay by credit card. To pay by credit card you will see a DONATE button to the top right of this very blog page. You can click that and pay securely through PayPal.

Now spread the word. Share this page with your friends. Print the picture and take it to collect orders. If you get 11 sheets orders I'll GIVE you the 12 set for FREE as a thank you for helping us. All 12 sets will ship to you for FREE and then you hand them out to your friends. The 12 all have to ship to the same address to get the free shipping.

This really is a great fundraiser. A friend of ours has paid for most of their adoption expenses by selling sheets.

We are also still needing donations. As of today, April 3rd, we have received $2,400 of the $8,000 needed for the first portion of our adoption expenses, which is awesome but we aren't there yet. Even small donations add up and help a lot. To make a donation you can use our PayPal account. In the future we'll get a way to make donations tax-deductible, but right now they are not.

Fundraising... Here we go!!!

I got a few minutes of quiet this morning. A rare thing these days with a 4 year old boy, 2 year old boy and an infant girl. After showering and doing dishes, I grabbed my Bible for a few minutes of time with the Lord. While in my prayer time I realized I have not prayed enough for my fourth child very much. It's possible that right now, across the world in Ethiopia, there's a baby girl who will some day be our baby girl. I don't know the circumstances of how she will some day become ours. All I know is to pray that my baby will feel God's love, and that those around her will show her love and fill her belly.

Yes! We are planning to adopt again. We have long known we wanted to have more than one adopted child in our family. After much research, prayer and thinking we decided to adopt from Ethiopia again. It currently takes 2-3 years to complete an adoption from Ethiopia. The wait times have increased due to increased paperwork requirements to insure ethical adoptions. A good thing, it just means it takes longer for everyone. We are asking for a girl, a toddler, who will likely have special medical needs. 

Adoption is a miracle. If you don't agree, then maybe you haven't met our Yoseph or heard his story.  Born the son of a student, who got pregnant through a tragic situation. She tried for 6 weeks to provide for him, she sacrificed a lot to give him LIFE and made the hardest decision any woman can make... to give him to another family. We were of course blessed to be that family. Now look at him! He smiles all day long! We are excited to be a part of a miracle again. And YOU can be a part of it too! While not everyone can adopt, everyone should support orphan care and adoption in some way. Here's one way.

We need $9,000 over the next 3 months to get started.  I bet YOU could give $30-$50, I bet many of you could actually give even more. We only need 180 people to give $50 and  BOOM we've got it! Give up coffee for a week or don't eat out this weekend and instead give to give a child a family. Even if you can't give, share this post with your friends and maybe they will feel led to give. 

Want to make a donation? That would be awesome! IT IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE!!!- if you donate through our agency. They will send you a nice letter documenting your gift.


Visit West Sands website. Click on donate. Follow the directions for the donations. MAKE SURE YOU PUT "GOURLEY FAMILY" in the purpose box!

You can also give using the DONATE button at the top right of the blog, but that way is not tax-deductible, that's our personal PayPal account.

Both methods of online donations are secure, through PayPal. If you prefer to make a donation by check, our address is P.O. Box 435 Hartfield, VA 23071. But, only donations made directly to the agency can get a letter for tax purposes.

Also, stay tuned. We plan to sell cookbooks, sheets, and maybe jewelry too.

Thank you so much!!!
