It's happened to the best of us! You have this AMAZING idea for a fundraiser, you spend hours and hours planning and organizing. The day of the event is busy and stressful and you just about lose your mind. Then the time has come and.... no one shows up. Maybe it's an online event and no one purchases anything. It can be completely heart breaking. A "show stopper" of sorts. You think that no one is supporting you because of YOU. If there is one thing I learned in the last few months it is that: THIS. IS. NORMAL. So relax, regroup and find a different opportunity or idea to work on. We've had events that have been AMAZING (see: cornhole tournament) and some that have been so so (see: T-shirts) and some that have completely FLOPPED (see: Just Love Coffee). I am not saying these events won't work for you. I am just saying that sometimes things just don't work.
So what can you do if you can't support us financially? PRAY that someone will! It's a huge encouragement to us and it helps! Also, consider purchasing items from us that you already use (such as laundry soap or cloth diapers) so we can both benefit!
So let me say it again to all you adopting families out there. It's normal for fundraisers to fail. Don't get discouraged and ask for prayers!

You guys inspire me! Praying for you daily!
