2 steps forward, 1 step back Posted about almost 7 years ago

As of this month, we have reached our fundraising goal, debt free (~$50k!)! This is a huge blessing to us that so many of you have been a part of.

Once we have the home study in hand, we will be able to start applying for grants, file for immigration and move on with the paperwork. Thank you!
