Drawing for a One of a Kind Ring to Get Me to Africa

I am continuing to fundraise to get to Sierra Leone. My 4 year old daughter's school is collecting health and hygiene items to donate to The Covering. This may mean paying for an extra bag...what a problem to have!
My amazing sister-in-law, Traci Woodruff, founder and owner of Tazzie's Custom Jewelry, made and donated a ring to help me and all of the supplies get to Sierra Leone.  The stone is an ammolite, the rarest stone in the world (she explained it's the rarest stone in the world and is actually a fossil). The ring is size 7 and retails at $138.

For $5 you can enter into the drawing to win this amazing ring! For $20 you can enter 5 times!  I was amazed at the support during the last drawing and can't wait to see who wins this ring. It really is a gorgeous ring! To enter, just click the donate link and be sure to write your name is the message so you get entered to win.  The drawing will be held on Monday, April 9.

Kindle Fire Giveaway

I will be having a giveaway for a new Kindle Fire!

Giveaway entries will be $10 each or $50 for 6 entries.

The giveaway will begin today with the winner chosen on March 1st.

As many of you know, I have been to Sierra Leone, West Africa, twice now.  With every trip, I leave a part of my heart there. On my first trip (Sept. 2009) I got to meet Sheku, the first child we sponsored and I met Emmanuel, with whom I fell in love and who we began sponsoring after that trip.

We are still sponsoring Emmanuel. Sheku has another sponsor family who has taken over his complete sponsorship. We are now sponsoring Dauda, a 12 year old boy who came to the center in 2009. He is one of the few children who have never had a sponsor come visit. Now that we are his sponsors, I feel a great need to get over there to spend some time bonding with him…showing him the love of a family.

We get to Skype with Dauda and Emmanuel weekly.  Today they asked me “When are you coming?” When I told them I was coming in June, they laughed uncontrollably! There is nothing quite like the sound of hearing orphans giddy because they want to see you!

I am preparing for my next trip to The Covering orphanage in June.  I am raising funds to help cover the cost of this trip, which will cost about $3000.  Some amazing friends generously donated a Kindle Fire for me to raffle to help fund my trip.

Dauda and Emmanuel...they are why I am going back to Sierra Leone!
