Trip 2: Amber, Candy, and Nesting Dolls

Adoption Trip #2 to Latvia is coming up soon! 
Plane fare for 3 -  approx. $4,000

We depart on August 3rd to finalize V's adoption.  If you would like to help with the plane fare,  here are some souvenirs that we'd be happy to bring back and mail to you...

traditional nesting dolls - a set of 5 - for a donation of $50 or more



bag of Gotina candy - for a donation of $25 
These are yum-alicious!  We would have to get them right before coming home so that we don't have to restrain ourselves too long from eating them.



 small tree made from Baltic amber - for a donation of $15 

To be honest, we are going to Latvia to complete the adoption requirements regardless of further donations and help.  We have requested an interest-free loan from ABBA fund to help.  However, that is still a loan that needs to be repaid with payments when we are facing many additional upcoming expenses.  So, we welcome the help of any moved to join together to reach the goal and not need the loan - or be able to repay it by 8/3!

If you want to participate, you can use the donation button to the left, then I'll be in touch with the item/s for shipping after we return.  If you prefer a tax deductible donation, use the link at the top for Village to Village International.  They are collecting for us.  If you use V to V though, please message or email to let me know so that I'm aware of what thank you gift to bring to you from Latvia.  Their site is not an immediate update so don't worry if you don't see the numbers change there right away.  

Right now we have $430 of the $4,000 through Village to Village.  I'll keep you updated as we get closer :)

Finally, please share with anyone that you'd like.  Sometimes donations come from the most unexpected people and places....
