The Puzzle Project
I came across this amazing fundraiser that was too good to pass up. We immediately ordered a puzzle, we couldn’t resist! We love the fact that the puzzle is not only a FUN fund raiser, it will also be a lasting symbol of the love and support that we received on our adoption journey, a beautiful visual reminder. Each and every person will forever remain a piece of our puzzle.
Here is the puzzle that we have chosen. I wanted it to be symbolic of our future son’s birth place and this one just caught my eye. It is a three part puzzle, but we will work on the middle section for now…
This is a 500 piece puzzle (for the middle picture). We are inviting you to “sponsor“ a piece (or more if you choose) of this puzzle for $10 and take part in bringing our precious baby boy home. With each piece sponsored we will write your name on the back and put that piece of the puzzle in place. A permanent reminder of the part you played in our son’s life. I will post updated pictures each month so that everyone can track the progress of our puzzle and our adoption journey. For more information on this fundraiser you can look here to see a completed “puzzle” project.
Once the puzzle is complete we will have it framed in double sided glass so that we can always see both sides of the puzzle and each person who contributed. I am so excited to think of sharing this finished piece of love with our son and being able to show him how much he has always been loved.
ALL of the proceeds from this fundraiser (and any other fundraiser we may conduct) will go directly toward our adoption. In the event that we would ever be fortunate enough to raise more funds than needed we would use the excess money to purchase supplies for the orphanages in Ethiopia.
