Vinnie needs a family. If we can lessen the financial barrier for adoptive families, we believe he will be rescued soon.
Vinnie is 3 1/2 years old. He lives in an orphanage in Eastern Europe. Why? Because he was born with Down Syndrome. He is less than 20 pounds and he desperately needs a family to call him son and then dote on him as the title requires. He doesn’t have his whole life to wait. He will only be in his current orphanage for another year or two and then he will be moved to a poorer home… either an orphanage for older children or a mental institution. No child deserves the conditions there.
But there is hope! Help us raise money for his adoption grant. We would like to hold an online fundraiser… an auction, a “virtual yard sale” or a giveaway where people purchase chances to win.
All proceeds will go directly to his tax-deductible adoption grant.
Would you consider donating items with a craigslist/resale value of $10 or more to the sale? Items that ship well are the ideal. (books, movies, jewelry, crocheted clothing, boxed games, unwanted gift cards… anything!) A sweet friend will be selling her old tv (which obviously does not ship well) and donating the money to his grant directly. Yippee!
Please contact us with questions or to donate items.
Please share this invitation with anybody who might be interested in participating! We will need enough people participating to pull this off!

Please Note: You do NOT have to be local. Email me a photo and description of the item you would like to donate and we will ship the item directly from your home to the purchaser. All profits of the sales go to Vinnie’s grant. Shipping will be paid by Brian and I or by you, if you choose to support the fundraiser in that way.
We are contributing a $100 gift card to Best Buy to this fundraiser, and there will also be a Hole Drilling service offered and a photo shoot, so come back to participate in the fun once the fundraiser is up and running! I will also be approaching some local businesses to see if anybody is willing to donate other products or gift cards. If you have a business or… work somewhere… do you have a product or service you can donate to help Vinnie’s mommy and daddy bring him home?
