We have updated the thermometer to reflect our fundraising up through today. This includes Village Key sales, personal cash donations and PayPal donations from the blog. We simply want to take a moment to THANK YOU all for getting us off to a fantastic start! We are humbled by everyone's kinds words, encouragement and prayers (and of course your donations as well!)
On a personal note:
This week has been a bit of an emotional roller-coaster. I (Amber) have experienced gitty excitement, gratitude and amazement at the amount collected in our first week. While at the same time battling fear regarding the total we will need. I can be a bit of a "control freak"..... not exactly a shocker for most of you HA! Anyway- I have discovered that I will DAILY have to surrender this process to God and not attempt to white knuckle grip on to it. Our family is God's to begin with, everything is in His timing and I am learning quite a lesson here in trust. As our good friend Erica says- I am being "stretched" :)
To our team of family and friends who are lifting us up in prayer: Keep on praying! Your support is sincerely invaluable.
To recap where we are in fundraising & how you can help:
1.) Purchase a Village Key to get discounts all over town here:

2.) Donate gently used books to out "books into cash" fundraiser.
3.) You may make a contribution via the PayPal "donate" button on the right hand side of
