God bless and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you wonderful folks at D2S!!!!!  Greg, God bless you in your efforts at fundraising!  It is indeed a daunting task, but one that God blesses because of who He is!   So, of course, don’t sweat it, just sweat in the fundraising efforts.  BTW, I spoke with Molly at Nashville conference and told her about igive.com.  Another charitable organization I know if uses that site to raise funds.  Basically it is an online shopping mall.  D2S would sign up as its charitable organization and then any joe or jane that e-buys can just go to igive.com and enter through their mall.  They have 100s of stores and common ones that everyone shops at too, but most of them give anywhere from 2-7% of the entire purchase amount to your charitable organization, which would be YOU, D2S.  I don’t know what you have to do to qualify or if it is an organization you want to align with, but I know I eshop ALL the time and every little bit helps and with the "database" of names you have, that could exponentially increase EASY fundraising.  Thought you might want to pass this on to ol’ Scottie boy and see if he wants to check it out.  BTW NoahsWish.org is my other charitable organization and they also collect empty ink cartridges and get cash for those.  On their website there is a link at the bottom for "cash for critters".  There are SEVERAL of these companies that you can sign up with, send out envelopes to all in your "database" and all they have to do is mail in empty cartridges (in a prepaid envelope) and there you go!  More "free" money.   Hope all this helps out in some way or another.  I know you will follow the Lord’s leading in fundraising and if He wants it, He’ll bless it!

Our ministries yearly budget is anywhere near D2S's, but I know what this time of year is like. I’ll be praying for the financial support you need.
