You Filled Their Stockings With So Much Hope!!!

On behalf of our Pearl River Team and our Bamboo Babies (pictured below), I want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by here and make a donation to Fill Their Stockings With Hope! Your generous gifts will make a big difference in the lives of some very special orphan children that are waiting to be a part of a forever family! I also want to thank Lisa and Stefanie for inviting Pearl River Outreach to be a part of Fill Their Stockings With Hope! I have loved working with you two amazing women!! We prayed God would blow the doors off our first event, and He did just that! It is a priceless blessing to know how many little lives will be touched by all of our efforts!

The Last Day Of "Fill Their Stockings With Hope" 2011!

WOW!!! Is all I can think of to say as I begin this final post for Pearl River's part of "Fill Their Stockings With Hope!" You have blown us away by how you have generously blessed our kids, and we at PRO want to say thank you! Thank you for caring about our precious orphans in China who wait for their chance to be forever loved. Thank you for the opportunity you are giving us to make a difference! It is truly a gift of hope and love you have given the children this season! It has been a privilege to be a part of this special event! It's not over yet.. You have one more opportunity to bless the babies at Pearl River Outreach!!!

With a VERY thankful heart I introduce our last give-a-way bundle for the Bamboo Babies:

iusb_760x100.5465387
KitCollage2

$65 Gift Certificate to Southern Sassy Pants!

I found this fabulous Etsy store when I was preparing to bring Sienna home. Ann made her a gorgeous blanket... Since then I have bought several blankets and pillows from Miss Ann for my girls and for gifts. I honestly can't say enough about how much I love her work.. Not only are her blankets beautiful, they are soft, cuddly, and they wash great! As I post, my girls are laying their heads on their Southern Sassy Pants pillows, and snuggling with their beloved blankets! Ann's items are all custom made, and personalized!

Macys

And, lastly a give-away that is perfect for everyone!
A donation that really does not need any explanation other than, "Have fun Shopping!"
$100 Gift Card ~ Macy's

This offer will close on Thursday at 11:59pm and winners will be announced Friday morning.


Click below to donate to have a chance to win our last amazing bundle! 100% of all proceeds donated here will go to Pearl River Outreach, a non-profit program that offers medical training, and foster care to orphans in China. *Please note that if you would like to donate more than $5, there is an arrow down button next to the yellow give button.

Fill Their Stockings With Hope {The MEGA Mom Bundle!!}

As we come to the close of our first "Fill Their Stockings With Hope" event on Wednesday I have to pause to say thanks to all of you who have faithfully checked back and supported us. Collectively we have raised over $10,000 for the precious kiddos we all love from afar! For those of you who have traveled this China road, you know that kind of support will change lives! I hope you find joy in knowing you are touching the life of a little one you most likely will never meet. It is a priceless blessing!

At Pearl River we are only $1265 away from our goal of raising $5000 this year. While that may seem like a lot.. It only takes a few of you with a little extra something left this week to make it happen.. It costs $35 a month to sponsor our babies. If 36 of you donate just that amount we will make it! This goal allows us to make sure we have 100% sponsorship all year when a sponsor falls off. It allows us to throw a birthday party for one of our children.. It allows our team take the children on a field trip, buy a group lunch, etc.. What is a daily thing to many of us, it is a big deal to those who wait.. Just ask one of our Bamboo Babies!

So as I get ready to pack up our stockings I bring you two more days of offers.. Starting with today's "Mega Mom Bundle!!!' Four different offers, to bring you some joy today!

So let's get started!

Cindy Tote (Grey Poppy)

The Cindy Tote with Personalization from Thirty-One! I actually own this tote and I love it!!! It's large.. You can use this for a briefcase, diaper bag, lap top carrier, etc.. When I traveled last week I used it for all of the above!! Thank you Anne for donating this! You can check out Anne's site here!
The value of this tote is $69 plus monogramming
(The winner will also choose the fabric they want)


Coach Jenni Tortoise Sunglasses

Next we have the Jenni Sunglasses by Coach!!!! (OK - I LOVE these!)
What else can I say about these, other than the retail value of these Jenni Tortoise sunglasses for her is $234.99! *They will ship with Coach case!

skincare_hero

And, then who doesn't love a little pampering!!! We have a $50 Gift Certificate to Mary Kay so you can choose what you want or need!!! Rumor has it, I need the Satin Hands right now!
You can check out Sue's website for the MaryKay Catalog here!

GOTLove

And, lastly, my sweet friend Paige, and a Mom who is actually waiting for her Travel Authorization to bring a precious Pearl River Baby Girl home has donated three items from the very cool, "Got Love Adopt" collection!!!! The winner of this "Mega Mom Bundle" will be able to add a "yellow" travel cup to her tote pocket!!! Also included in this bundle is a "Got Love/Adopt" decal for your car, and this beautiful necklace! I was given one of these necklaces for a special gift, and I wear it all the time!!! This is a special company!!! If you need some cool gifts stop by their website here!

Whew!! That is a lot of Love for you today!!!!!! Thank you to all of our special friends who donated these awesome gifts!!! I am so grateful for your great big hearts!!



So, How Do you Win this AWESOME Bundle?!!! I will keep it brief, since many of you have stopped by here before!!
Just go to the donate button below.. *Note the little arrow by the $5, if you have it in you today to donate more than $5.00!! (Remember I am hoping 36 of you will donate a minimum of $35 this week!) No need to leave your contact information if you are using PayPal.

If you just can't donate today, but want a chance to win, please leave me a comment with your contact information. Email is fine...

You can donate towards this offer until 11:59pm tomorrow night, December 20th! The winner will be contacted on Wednesday! (I can not guarantee shipments in time for Christmas.)

*UPDATE: There is no button for $35.00 below.. There are buttons for $25 and $10 though! :).. We now only need 20 people to contribute $35 and we will make it!!!! So excited to be so close!!!!











OK - You are almost done!!!! THANK YOU for donating to Pearl River Outreach today!

And, on your way out the door, stop by Lisa and Stefanie's blogs to see what they have going on today!!! And, then don't forget to check back on Wednesday for our final posts!!
