A friend of mine emailed me this last night and requested to be a guest blogger. I read it, it made me cry, and now I'm posting it. Tracy says that we rock her world. Dear readers, know that the feeling is mutual. Tracy is awesome. I've been friends with her for close to a decade and she has pretty much been a part of praying into my life every big blessing I have: Sloan, Henry, Gracie, and now P3.
Dear friends and Family of Elizabeth (and Sloan),
This blog posting might not be as entertaining as usual,
because it wasn’t written by EJ. I
merely asked E to post this, for the hundreds, no thousands (millions?) of blog
followers she has.
This is Tracy Scoggins, and the Phillips family rocks my
world. Their heart for orphans and their
obedience to God’s call (see James 1:27) has really challenged me. I too have a heart for orphans, and I want to
do all that I can to support what they have taken on…international adoption of
a child with special needs. Gulp. In addition to the next 18 years of expenses, there is a bunch
required up front. We’re talking many
thousands of dollars. MANY. Think “2 brand new cars” (and on that note-
they need a new van, but I digress…)
I am an independent Consultant with Thirty-One gifts, and I
am asking you to join me in a fundraiser for the Phillips family. All you need to do is shop. I know what you’re thinking… “Now THAT is a
fundraiser I can get on board with!”
Think about gifts that you’ll be buying in the coming months anyways,
and then consider shopping now, for a great cause.
I will donate 100% of my commission to the Phillips Family
Adoption fund, which equals 25% of all sales.
All you need to do is go to my website, click on “place an
order”, and then look for “Adoption Fundraiser for the Phillips family” and
click “shop now” http://www.mythirtyone.com/tscoggins/
The fundraiser will run from now until January 13th. The customer special displayed on the home
page will be the same the entire time.
Those thermal totes make great teacher appreciation day gifts, and they
can be personalized!
Important notes:
IF YOU DO NOT LIVE IN
THE RICHMOND AREA AND/OR DO NOT SEE ELIZABETH ON A REGULAR BASIS, PLEASE
UNCHECK THE “SHIP TO HOST” BOX, AND OPT FOR DIRECT SHIPPING!
Most items can be personalized, for a flat fee of $7. I just bought a Cindy Tote that says
“adopted” (it’s a conversation starter, to allow me to share about how God
adopted me and how I believe that every child deserves a loving family).
If you need a catalog or help with something, feel free to
call or email (info is on my website).
Thank you so much for PARTNERING with the Phillips family as
they take on this really exciting challenge!!!
So happy and honored to be a part of this,
Tracy Scoggins
