Our first IVF Fundraiser which I have now dubbed "Cookie Mania" began on Wednesday and in three short days it has grown from what I thought might be a good way to earn an extra $100 towards our IVF fund into a HUGE success!
Thanks to all of our wonderfully supportive and loving friends, family and co-workers we have raised $229.80 to date after expenses and baked well over 50 dozen cookies (some of which we're eaten by Mike and myself, but strictly for quality assurance of course...lol)!
We still have approximately 15 dozen worth of orders in the works and a few IOU's to collect on so by my calculations we should be close to $350 when all is said and done.
I hope we can keep the momentum up....and for those still interested we will continue to take orders next week as well. My sweet mother who also deserves a shout out for graciously helping me bake, package and deliver cookies has yet to tell her work about Cookie Mania thus I see at least a few more week nights of baking in my future. :)
Mike and I are overwhelmed by the out pouring of love and support shown to us by everyone. I know I was hesitant at first to open up and share such a personal aspect of our lives, but I am so thankful we did. The emotions I feel can not be expressed by words alone. I love each and everyone of you and will continue to keep you updated throughout our journey with infertility.
