Grant Money

We are applying for grants to adopt Alina. Why you ask... Well this is our 4th child we have adopted in 2 years. I'm going to start some fundraising also next week. It is our hope that we can raise most of our adoption money this way. We cant afford another credit card bill this I know for sure.
So I'm collecting stuff for a Large Sale. We have a private Donner who has said they would help with Alina's fees! Don't know how much but any will be greatly appreciated. How have all of you raised money?
Gift of adoption gave us 5000.00 for Max's adoption. I told everyone we were going to get a grant for him from them and we sure did. God never lets us down when we ask!!!
Hugs, Melonie
