We are getting so close to travel, I can hardly stand it! We received our I-800 provisional which means we are moving along and next week we should be able to apply for our visas! So excited but yet I am so scared. We had thought travel would be around $8,000. We just found out it's going to be more like $17,000!! YIKES! 😁 We are currently doing a shoe fundraiser in hopes to raise some of
that travel cost. So, if you have any new to gently used shoes that you are not in need of, we would love them! I will drive 2-3 hours from our home in central MN. Or you can always send them to me.
If you are a business owner and need a tax deduction, you can donate to our FSP as it is tax deductible. http://reecesrainbow.org/104053/sponsornavratil.
Our agency also asked the orphanage for an update on Jazlyn, it's been almost a month and we have not heard anything. I may or may not be stalking my email. So, to ease some of all the stress we mailed off a package to her. In it is a big stuffed bear wearing a t-shirt with our picture on it, a purse filled with hair accessories, candy and sunglasses. We also included a disposable camera, flash drive, in hopes they will fill it with pictures of her past 5 years, and a little photo album introducing her to her family. As far as we know, she has no idea we are coming for her. I hope they capture a video or at least pictures of her opening it. She will be getting it late next week to early the following week.
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we hope to travel late Nivember. Pray that finances are there and Jazlyn is prepared to be taken from all she knows. Thank you, it's greatly appreciated.
