Let me tell you that we have had to come way out of our comfort zone in putting this together! We have had to run a full-fledged campaign, which has meant a lot of face-to-face encounters with new people...definitely not something that any of us find easy to do! But we have been so rewarded by the amazing generosity and willingness- even enthusiasm- of so many people that we've met locally and online through this campaign.
When you all of a sudden have a worthy cause to fight for, especially when it involves one of your children, you find abilities and motivation inside of yourself that you didn't know you had :)
In this case, it has really paid off. We have people all over the web, and our local community, who have donated and/or are helping us spread the word. Just yesterday we found out that a story on Levi's Mountain, and the auction that we are holding for Levi Friday and Saturday, will be in our local newspaper!
Do you think it's a coincidence that I walked into a office supply store here in Rogersville to ask if they would like to donate and advertise for Levi's Mountain Auction, and the mother of one of our local newspaper editors happened to overhear me talking about the auction? She gave me her daughters name and number and told me to call her daughter- that she may be able to help us get the story into the paper. I called Sarah, and she's working on a story, and hopefully it will be in Saturday's paper.
I think we must have a God that loves to be super involved with everything that we do. Just like we are with our own children, He desires to do the very best for His own.
Thank you for all of your support, and we hope we get to see you Friday evening and Saturday at the auction! Help us make it a success :)
Angela, Levi's Mommy
