Tree Quilt Fundraiser

I wanted to share something with you that we have decided we are going to do as a fundraiser. Many adoptive families have suggested doing the Puzzle Piece Fundraiser, where they sell pieces of a puzzle and people then write their name on the back of the piece. Once complete they frame this is and keep it for child to hang in their room to see all the support.
I am not a fan of puzzles, lol... I hate putting them together... dont have the patience, and I dont like this fundraiser bc you miss out on the important part... the names!

So we have created our own version of this. When we have our baby home, his nursery will be in owls and trees... We are going to have a tree trunk, that is sad and dead looking without its leaves... And we need you to help us bring it to life! We will place a leaf on the tree for every person who gives a monetary donation towards our adoption costs. We will have the names of each person/family that donates on their leaf. We plan to have this on a quilt for our child to always have... I want him to always see the many people that had a part in bringing him home to us. I want him to know YOUR names!!!!

Below is a photo as an example of the tree for you to see how much we need your help in getting this quilt put together. Please consider donating today to help us meet our goal of $7,000 so that we can have everything paid for to get us to where we can apply for adoption grants. Throughout our entire adoption process, all donations will be on this quilt. And we plan for it to be bigger than this little example :)
