Hi there! We are doing a fundraiser and I wanted to ask if you wanted to be a part of it. I am collecting t-shirts from different adoptive families and when I get enough I will be making a baby quilt out of the shirts. I'm going to raffle it off as a fund raiser for our adoption. If you'd like to donate one t-shirt we'd LOVE to have one of yours!! The tickets will be $2 each and for donating a shirt you get 10 free tickets! Let me know what you think! :)
