Fund Raiser

We have felt led by the Lord to initiate a fundraiser to help pull together the next chunk of money needed to complete the adoption of Elijah ZuBin. Here is what we have going on:

We are selling necklaces of two basic designs. We wish to thank the owner of Ohio Beads and Gems in Mason, Ohio for their guidance, teaching, and patience in working with us for quite a few hours as we labored over these creations.

Some details about the necklaces:
1. Each necklace was designed and handmade by Maren and Greg.

2. The first necklace (pictured on the left) has a sterling silver plated chain, semi-precious stones (sodalite), sterling silver beads, and a heart charm at the back. It is 16 1/2" long. We only have 2 more of these left in blue, but can use other colored stones in a similar pattern if you are interested.

3. The second necklace (pictured on below) has a 17" sterling silver plated chain, Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls, and a heart charm at the back. The crystals can be pretty much any color you want them to be. It is shown with a silver washed crystal.



4. The necklaces sell for $25

5. Gentlemen, just because you won't be wearing them, don't forget to think of them in terms of gifts!

6. Please contact us if you have any questions or would be interested in supporting the final push to bring Elijah ZuBin home. We can be reached at mrausch@fuse.net.

7. Please feel free to pass this on to anyone you think might be interested in such a necklace.

8. Every penny of the proceeds will go towards the cost of creating the necklaces and bringing our boy home. Not one penny will go into the general family fund.

Thank you so much for all your help and prayers. We are looking forward to having our son safely in our home.
