Hello everyone! Last Friday was our first $5 Friday, and we were able to raise some funds to help go toward our IVF procedure. As of this writing, we’re at $6,630 total raised. Praise the Lord!

Today is another Friday, so we’re asking you to please share this with all of your friends and have them share with their friends to spread the word.

We’re at about 2 and a half weeks until the time we find out if we’ll be awarded the grant by the Cade Foundation. If we do get it, we’ll still need a little less than $1,500 to make up the gap. We are so thankful for how God has provided through all of your generosity! We look forward to seeing what God is going to do moving forward!

If you can, we’d appreciate it if you can give just $5 today. If you’re unable, one thing you can do that will mean so much to us is to pray! Pray that God will help us to raise the funds, but most of all pray that God will have His will in our lives during this process.

While we’ve nothing new to report in the way of progress on our own new addition, I’m happy to report that my sister has had her 6th boy! Born on Monday, September 16 weighing in at 7 lbs, 8 oz, Gunner Magnum Crass is as healthy as they come. We’re excited to have another nephew, and excited for the family as they bring a new bundle of joy home!

For our part, we still need to raise some money. Since today’s $5 Friday, we’re sharing this out to all our friends and ask that you share it to your friends, and encourage them to share it as well. If all you can give is $5, that’s great! Every little bit helps, and if several of you and your friends are able to just give $5, it would go so far to help! We certainly appreciate it and pray God will bless each one of you! If you are unable to give, we ask that you please pray as we continue to raise funds to be able to have an IVF procedure!

As all of you know, we’ve sent off papers for a grant, which we’ll hear back on next month. In the meantime, we still need to raise some more funds. In the grant application, we estimated that we could raise an additional $1,500 ourselves, so that amount is being taken into account by the Cade Foundation if they choose to award the grant to us.

To help us reach that goal, we’re turning to you to help us get the word out. Each Friday, we’ll post and ‘advertise’ the opportunity to donate. Where you come in is that we ask you to share these posts in your social media outlets – Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.

We haven’t had that much to update on lately, besides patiently waiting to hear if we’ll be awarded the grant dollars or not. What we do promise though is to update with whatever we can on each Friday.

Thanks for your continued support, donations, and most of all your prayers!
