Big big news!

So I have been completely awful about updating everything from this summer. I have this horrible habit of completely disappearing once the kids are here for hosting.

I will do the important update right now and then I hope to get some posts with the hosting recaps in the next few days....

So on Monday we received an e-mail that our appt is NEXT WEDNESDAY. Holy cow Batman! It's literally about 2 weeks sooner than we were expecting so we are feeling very unprepared.

We will be leaving on Monday so we will lose a few days with our boys. :( Because of all the craziness of the having the boys here and not having time to fundraise, the appt coming sooner than planned, and the lack of any other funds coming in, we are DESPERATE for funds by Monday. We are also running around like crazy getting everything that needs to be taken care of at home to leave (house sitter, plane tix (booked), boys taken care of, buying a dryer so we can have clean clothes!, etc etc)

If you want to donate to cover first trip expenses here are some of them written out:
Train Fare: train ride to and from the region- $100-$200 (this could be more or less)
Lodging for 1 night: $50-60
x 21 days for first trip= $1260 (We will be there probably 21 days for the first trip)
Misc in-region costs estimate: $1500
Return plane tix: $1600

If donated before Monday 8/20-you can donate directly to Angels Haven Outreach (for a tax break) by sending a check to Angels Haven 818 Grayson Road Suite #200 Pleasant Hill, California 94523 or their paypal at:
Paypal link will come up when you click the "donate" icon on this page.

After that you can donate directly to us at our chipin (on the right hand side of the blog) (or e-mail me and I can send you an address to mail a check to).

Every single bit will help!!! We are still quite a bit short for all of our costs!

Or you can donate to cover some of our 2nd trip expenses: (roughly 10 days after we get back from 1st trip Matt will go back for 2nd trip) 
Air fare (Matt’s plus the boys return tix): $2500
Lodging for 2nd trip: $720 (estimate 10-15 days)
Orphanage Donation: $2000
Food for 10-15 days:
Visas: $600
Passports: $1200
