We are yet again preparing for a yard sale! Last year we were successful with an adoption fundraising yardsale and made $800. We had several people that donated their "junk" to us. We looked at it as gold!! It was so helpful and it brought profit straight into our adoption fund.
We have already started spreading the word about our upcoming sale this year (late March or early April.) It has spread like fire and we are receiving messages and calls almost every week! The past several weekends we have worked picking up donated items, sorting into boxes and storing it away in our attic or shed. We have also gone through our entire house, as we do each year before our sale. It's amazing how much you accumulate in one year...or better yet; last year it was a keeper and since then it wasn't touched so it's now FOR SALE!! I anticipate this sale as being huge! We are planning 2 weekends. One at my aunt & uncle's house and the other at our house during our neighborhood sale.
The most amazing part of this experience is the amount of people that are so eager to help. We have such giving and thoughtful friends that donate items. We have an amazing support team of family and friends that are always there to give and spend tons of their time. And last but NOT least we have those loving friends that come for the event and to show support. These are all the people that truly love us and more importantly our sweet baby girl, Grace.
