What Makes Simply Love Fundraising Kit So Unique?

After answering hundreds of emails on My Crazy Adoption Blog about fundraising for adoption, two years ago, I created the Simply Love Kit to help adoptive families raise their costs. The products will create buzz and momentum for your fundraising by involving your friends, workplace, youth group, family, and church.  It is proven to raise hundreds and even thousands of dollars. We offer 24 exclusive country shapes! {Updated} Simply Love is featured in two documentary films and showing up all over the world! Films: Spreading Hope and Man Up and Go.

What is Simply Love?

To bless women & orphans heart, soul, mind, & strength by partnering with bloggers, adoptive families, and organizations to be a part of the solution of living James 1:27 by trusting steadily in God, hoping unswervingly, & loving extravagantly.

ADOPTION is CRAZY EXPENSIVE!  Our family adopted from Ethiopia and we understand how overwhelming fundraising can be.  Because of that, My Crazy Adoption is thrilled to support families who are actively involved in the adoption process, both domestically and internationally. We have developed a program that allows you to purchase exclusive products from our Simply Love collection at wholesale prices.  In turn, you can sell the products at full retail price with 100% of profits being used to raise your costs.  We have developed a collection of products that is exclusive to adoption fundraising families and raising money for missions.

3 Simple Steps to create your own fundraiser- Adoption & Missions.

Please read the program overview information below and follow the 3 simple steps to join my adoption fundraising program.  The Simply Love Kit is exclusive to families actively pursuing adoption.  It takes hard work, persistence, and a little craziness- but the good news is that it’s not that difficult.

If you have any questions, you can email me for more details.

What is Simply Love Kit?

Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is LOVE. (1Cor. 13:13)  When we adopted our beautiful, Zoie Senait from Ethiopia three years ago, we created a special tee shirt to raise our adoption costs.  Well, my fundraiser was a total disaster and failed miserably.  We ended up with boxes of unsold tees stacked in our garage.  I felt discouraged, stressed, and uncertain how to raise money for our adoption. I was determined to help other families learn from my mistakes how to fundraise successfully!  The past two years, I have had the honor of supporting and helping hundreds of families fundraise for their adoptions using our exclusive designs.  This year, My Crazy Adoption Blog has raised over $60,000 for missions projects and caring for orphans with Simply Love products.  God had a different plan for Simply Love and now it’s my gift to you.

I want to help eliminate any additional stress during your adoption process.  Therefore, I have done all the groundwork for you!  My Simply Love designs were created by a gifted graphic artist with layers of artwork that are beautifully printed on shirts and gear available! All you have to do is sell your products!  There is no middle man, so you are in the driver’s seat customizing the program to best meet your fundraising needs.

The Simply Love Kit includes:

• Ten exclusive graphic designs adoption for fundraising families ONLY!
• 23 Country shapes to pick- USA, China, Africa, Nepal, Haiti, Russia, India, South Korea, Kazakhstan, Philippians, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Congo, Ethiopia, Uganda, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Mexico, Sierra Leone [and more!]
