First Donation!

Just made the first donation to Levi's fundraising requirement. I'm feeling very overwhelmed but excited. Feels like it will take forever to get to our goal, but I've also seen other families get donations from anonymous donors that adds to the tally quickly. Some even get anonymous sponsors who cover the whole fundraising requirement!

Fundraising Packet Has Arrived!

 

Levi got his packet in the mail. So excited for him! He is having such a rough day today, it would be nice for him to have a furry companion to help him calm and relax.

4 Paws Interview Done...

Talked to 4 Paws this morning! Levi will have a packet coming in the mail in the next couple of weeks that will have paperwork for us to sign as well as fundraising information. So excited! It will be a long journey, but definitely worth it in the long run.

Application was received!!!

I got an email from 4 Paws For Ability. It said they received our application and they want me to call them. It said Mon-Fri 10a-4p. I tried calling this afternoon (Friday at 3:30pm) but got the voice mail. I will have to attempt again on Monday. The email said they will do a phone interview that will take at least 20 minutes and longer if we have questions. It stated that they have found it is better for families to call them than for them to try to reach a family when they are able to talk. Luckily, I will have time Monday to try again. I'm not sure what will be asked during the interview, but I'm compiling any questions I can think of to ask when I call 4 Paws. I've got a list of fundraising ideas to get approved, assuming Levi is accepted. One minute the $13,000 requirement feels way too big and out of reach. The next minute, I think we can have this done and on our way fairly quickly. We shall see.

Application Sent!

I sent off Levi's application this morning! So excited to hear whether he gets accepted. I'm thinking of fundraising ideas just to have a head start once I find out the proper way to fundraise as a 4 Paws volunteer.
