Next Step...

The proposal has been made! I’ve asked the company I work for (Kids Country Childcare) to support a fundraiser for Save the Children, all proceeds going to help the people of Haiti. To start with, we will be collecting simple coin and cash donations in decoratively displayed collecting cans. We will be taking these donations for several weeks as we prepare for the main fundraising event.

The main fundraiser will take place some time in early spring (March or April). The definite date is yet to be determined, but will be posted ASAP. The event itself will be a collaboration of talents in an Arts and Crafts Sale. All of the children and teachers at Kids Country will be participating, working hard to make enough merchandise to sell. We’ll be making items such as piñatas, printed T-shirts and onesies, framed paintings, clay pots and so much more. Kids Country is extremely blessed with a variety of talents, and I cannot wait to give credit to each and every one of them as this endeavor matures. There will be more than just arts and crafts, and I’m extremely excited to see everything fit into a definitive plan. Things are still in their “brainstorming” phase, but everyone is so enthusiastic about this…which has sent my heart to the heavens.

I will be trying to get donations from super stores like Target to donate certain supplies, but if you are interested in helping, please contact me via email (roseinfall@aol.com) and write “IN GREAT NUMBERS” in the subject box.

Thank you to all who are interested! I will keep the updates coming.
