I have been in the studio.... and very busy sewing....  but not on Angel items.

I have been immersed in a plan to raise funds to continue our work.  Everyone dislikes fundraising but it seems there no way around it.

With the influx of donated dresses in the last year, funds are, and will be, sorely needed to continue supplying Angel items to the families of pre-term Angelbabies free of charge. 

Donations of materials (thread, ribbons, lace, etc) are received every few months and fill many gaps and reduce the need for cash for incidentals, but there is no work around to fund the cost of shipping, which continues to increase. 


For example:

• normal packaging & shipping expenses for 20 garments is about $50
• overnight shipping of an AngelPackage to a family who has an immediate need is approximately $50
• shipping an AngelPackage to a family with two day delivery is approximately $20

We are thrilled to have a two benefactors that periodically send funds to support our efforts, however, shipping costs eat into our budget very quickly.

Currently, funds to pay for approximately two shipments are in our coffers.

Over the next several months, we hope to raise sufficient funds to adequately cover shipping costs for the next year.   To this end, we will offer items for sale with all profits to support our work for those that become An Angel Too Soon.  These items will include handmade quilts, craft items, doll clothing, and whatever else we can come up with.  

I anticipate that this type of fundraising will be an annual event and we will be open to accepting donations of items from our supporters to be included in our fundraising efforts. 

Your continued support of Angelgownsbyjacki is so appreciated and we look forward to a year of growth.  After all, we can't do what we do without YOU!
