We’ve been home with Emma and Aiden now since March 24th! It’s been a wild ride adjusting to life as a family of 8 with 3 , 3 and under!
MATCHING GIFT OPPORTUNITY
We have had an incredible opportunity to raise $10,000 in a very short amount of time. We have a donor who will match dollar for dollar any gift given to our adoption between now and Christmas up to $5000!!!!!
GOD IS SO FAITHFUL!
So as you consider your giving, no matter what the size, your gift will automatically double when it is received! Your giving will be tax deductible!
Checks should be made payable to: “Tekoa 211 Ministries” (do not write our name on the memo, simply write Orphan Fund)
Mail payments to:
John and Tracie Loux
12312 Askew Street
Grandview, MO 64030
Pray with us for $5000 to become $10,000 in the next few weeks!!!!!
ART FOR ADOPTION
Our second fund raising venture is underway! If you’re looking for some great ideas for Christmas gifts or just a tangible reminder that you have partnered with us in Aiden’s adoption, please support our Art for Adoption online sale. “click below”
My guess after estimating printing and shipping costs is that if we can sell 200 prints of the 8×10 photos we’re listing, we can make around $5000!!! That’s my goal. You can help by spreading the word and linking to our blog please!
Please give me feedback to on how the ordering process works. We’ve never used this site before, so let me know if there are any problems.
ONE ANOTHER NOTE: If you are an artisan of any kind and would like to donate an art work or hand crafted item to our sale, please email me a photo of the item and a little information about it. I can post it, take the payment, and ship it for your if your local. If you aren’t local, please consider what it would cost for you to ship it to the purchaser and add shipping cost to the item, and we will the reimburse you.
Photo Sessions by Nick Loux
Our son Nick, in his desire to take part in fund raising for our adoption, is offering photography sessions for individuals and families. If you would like to schedule a session with Nick, he is asking for a minimum donation of $75 to our adoption fund (checks made payable to John and Tracie Loux). You will receive full access to all photos, which will be given to you on CD.
For donations of $100 or more, you will also receive the “Photographer’s Favorite”- an 8×10 print of Nick’s favorite photo from your session.
For donations exceeding $250 to our adoption fund, you will receive the “Photographer’s Favorite”, as well as 4×6 prints of all of the photos from your session.
