our adoption story

Thank you to those who have shown interest in our gold for good campaign. We are received some questions about the fundraiser so I wanted to take this opportunity to answer those questions. What type of items can be donated? Any broken or unwanted gold or sterling silver (like necklaces, rings, class rings, bracelets, watches, pins, spoons, candle holders, anything else) Can you take gold plated items? Yes, if you think it may have gold in it and you would like to donate the item then we will see if it can be used. Who is helping us with this fundraiser? Our fundraiser is being put on by Charles Shyblosky from Valley Goldmine, we meet him because he is a parent of one of the students I work with everyday. He has a huge heart and desire to help people through fundraiser and seeing them come closer to God in the process. Are we getting a good portion of the proceeds? Yes most definitely,95% goes directly to our adoption. I hope the answers to the questions will help. Please ...

This type of campaign would simply ask if you’d be willing to donate your used, broken or unwanted Gold on our behalf for our Adoption. The proceeds would then be melted down at a refinery, with the proceeds going directly for the Adoption. We are believing and praying that friends would be willing to give away the g...
