The catalyst for having this show was to have a day/evening fund raiser through Patticakes for our Baby Patterson homecoming push and Ricky was gracious enough to come and play as a draw for folks to come out and support.
We prayed for $300 to come in (through a portion of ticket sales and donation boxes). Truly, we thought $300 was a pretty lofty prayer for a small benefit concert.
Yea, we took in over $1500 in donations.
I did not type that wrong. $1500! We only sold 25/26 tickets, but between the generosity of the folks who came and others who donated during the time of the benefit from afar (via PayPal, venmo, etc) we had $1500+ come in.
Guys, that's crazy. That means we are less than $1400 from really getting this process going. Less than $1400 away from our agency beginning to introduce us to potential birth moms. That means in barely 7 weeks you wonderful peiple have contributed $6400. That means we are that much closer to bringing home our child.
We are humbled and overwhelmed and beyond grateful.
There's still a long way to go but shame on us if we don't stop and really rejoice in the faithfulness of our God and His provision.
We love you all. Thank you.
By His Grace, to His glory,
Bethany and Wayne
