I was able to determine today that our DS260 (aka Owens Visa!) was processed last Friday. At this point we are waiting for his country to complete our article 5 and issue travel dates. This should all be done soon, and we should travel in just a few weeks !!!
We still need to raise the remaining fees of about $3500 to be "fully funded" and this is how they break down so that you know where your donation is going !!
$850 Round trip airfare for Tony
$850 Round trip airfare for Ashton
$400 One way trip HOME for Owen !!
$100 Owens Medical Visit required by the embassy
$1050 = $50/day for food
$500 for Orphanage donations of wipes and diapers to be bought in country (because they would be too heavy for suitcases)
Total $3750, But this is an estimate. Flights will change. And we will only buy as many as we have the money for. And we are going to try to fit some food into our suitcases to save on that expense as well.
Some of the other items we would like to donate are tooth brushes/ paste, hand sanitizer, children's body wash/shampoo, and children's medicines (Tylenol etc)
If you are local to Wilmington,NC I will be more than happy to meet you or If you are not local and wish to send stuff through the mail please contact me for an address to send it to.You can email me directly at ashtonymcbride@yahoo.com
Also ! A friend of mine offered to do a Norwex fundraiser for us. She will be donating her commissions to help with the diapers and wipes donations in country. Please check out the link --

Thank you so much for helping provide the necessities for these children that so often we take for granted !
