PLEASE READ THIS FIRST! :o)

Thank you for visiting our homeschool materials fundraiser! For those who may not be familiar with our story, we are adopting a seven-year-old girl named Song Guo from China. Song Guo has Down syndrome, and the adoption process should take just about a year. Since we had decided a few years ago that we were finished adding to our family, this adoption has come as quite a surprise! We know that God led us to little Song Guo and that she is meant to be a part of our family, so we are now scrambling to gather the funds we'll need to get her home. We can't do it without the help of our friends and family, without hard work on our part to raise the money, and of course, without God paving the way. In addition to this fundraiser, we'll be having a huge multi-family yard sale as soon as it's warm enough. We also hope to hold an online giveaway with a grand prize we contribute, and some additional donated prizes.

There are over 100 listings, some for complete Sonlight cores, some for sets of readers, some for bits and pieces of cores, and some for different homeschooling materials (foreign language, science and math curricula, books, spelling, reading, workbooks, etc.). Use the the categories at the right to narrow your options, or search for specific items using the search box.

As this is a fundraiser, we're asking those who contribute to meet a minimum donation amount, but of course we will be incredibly grateful to any who feel led to contribute beyond that amount. I have tried to be conservative with these minimum amounts, and have searched eBay completed sales, Sonlight and Amazon to give me an idea where to start, but if you feel that the amount is excessive and should be adjusted, PLEASE contact me and let me know. Our goal is to get this stuff out of here and help bring our daughter home, not to quibble over dollars with people who are trying to help us. :o) The funds we gather from this effort will be going toward our China fee of $5500 when our dossier goes to China. We anticipate this will be in April or May.

TO PURCHASE:

When you find something you would like to purchase, please do the following:
  • Contact me at sonlightforsale@gmail.com with the name(s) of the item(s) you'd like to purchase.
  • Once you hear back from me, use the "Chip-In" box to the right to may your payment via PayPal. I will keep a waiting list for items that are requested but not yet paid, and I will do my best to mark listings as sold once they're paid for to avoid confusion.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help with getting our little girl home!
