Slowly but surely...

...we are moving forward!  I received Levi's fundraising total as of today (not counting December online donations, which are counted the month after they are made) Levi is at $1811.34! 
The mail in donations are mainly people who I do not know personally.  Yet, they are helping Levi reach his goal.  What a wonderful feeling to see so many willing to help my son.  Levi also received a $500 anonymous donation that was mailed in.   I'm continuing to be shocked and surprise by the generosity of others.

We still have the bracelets for sell that is in a previous post.  We are planning a fundraising event for February 2nd.  It will involve a Zumbathon earlier in the day and a chili supper that evening. We are planning on Levi making an appearance for the chili supper.  We'll be posting more information as the details get finalized.

If you would like to help with the chili supper, donate items for the raffle, etc.  Please contact me by going to the contact link on this blog.  You can also email me directly at awalker1979@frontier.com.

Thank you!

'Tis the Holiday Season

It probably looks as if things are not moving as far as Levi's fundraising goes.  Let me assure you, it is moving "behind the scenes".  I have a friend who is planning a Zumbathon and another friend who is working on a chili supper for early February!

I am now the proud owner of silicone "4 Paws for Levi" bracelets.  One is Royal Blue w/lime green writing and the other is Lime Green with royal blue writing.  We have adult and youth sizes. Bracelets are $3.00 each.  Cash, Check or PayPal accepted.  Happy to ship them to anyone who is not local.  Click on the "contact us" link and send me an email to order.  You can also message me through "4 Paws for Levi" on Facebook.
I placed a 2nd shirt order and have a 3rd order in the works.
I'm working on getting donations for raffle/silent auctions for the two events.

We have almost $900 raised between online and offline donations.  This is only donations as of November 30th.  Each month I can ask 4 Paws for our updated balance.  We received a $500 anonymous donation that is not counted in that amount yet so we "technically" have over $1400.   4 Paws sends me the offline donation envelopes and any letters that are included.  Levi's packet came with four letters in it this past week.  Mainly people saying how his story had touched them and they wanted to help him get his service dog.  People who I have no idea who they are continue to show me how blessed Levi is to have so many helping him.
