New totals, not so new!

I requested our new totals earlier this week and as I expected, they have not changed. We still have a totals of $6,698.16. But on the positive side, I have already mailed another $100 donation in and have had lots of promises of others being mailed. I have made a special request to get our totals early next time. Usually we can get totals 2 times a month, the 1st and the 15th. Since our next fundraiser is the 13th, I asked if I could get the most up to date totals on the 12th so I could know just how much more we needed for our fundraiser! Now remember, if we go over our fundraising goal, it goes to the next family in line! So even though we may raise more than we need, we get to help others too! On that note, there is another family in the upstate that has just been approved and beginning their fundraising efforts! You will probably here more about Zac soon! There is also another family here that has already completed their fundraising! I'm so glad that 4 Paws for Ability will soon be a common name to this area! There are many great organizations out there that help to place service dogs, even some in our area. But these organizations have such long waiting lists! I hope that all these places will 'catch on' to the 4 Paws way and minimize their lists! 4 Paws allows the families to do the fundraising needed to help with the vet costs, training, and care for the dogs! I must say, it's much more fun this way, for me anyway! And more gratifying too! To know that even though I didn't and couldn't pay the whole $11,000 myself, that I have worked as hard as I can (with the help of many others too) to provide this opportunity for Noah! Much more satisfying too!

I appreciate everyone who is helping to spread the word of Noah's fundraiser, his need for his dog, and helping to collect donations. We can still use a few more food donations! I've had some people who have said, I can't cook something or buy anything but here's $20, go buy what you need for the fundraiser! This too has been a great help! This gives me the extra I may need at the last minute! And what ever I don't need, goes right to 4 Paws as a donation! So please, however the Lord leads you to give and to help, please do!

Have a blessed rest of the week!
