well my Aunt Gayle and Uncle Van said they will match our candy sales up to $100 wow!
so we went out tonight and sold candy, we were out for 2 hrs we went down a couple blocks not sure how many houses but a lot of people just gave us $5 instead of $2 we were asking and some didn't even want the candy but gave us money, some were rude and some said no in a nice way. lol but most were nice. we sold 17 candy bars and we came home with $49 so with the match we made $98 - the $17 we paid for the candy we made $81 pretty good I think. . we plan to go out again next week and maybe do it 2 times a week in different areas . It really made me feel good knowing I was doing something to help raise the money and not just asking for donations. and we handed out flyers too and it felt good telling people about Josiah. we are tired, our feet hurt it felt like when we went trick or treating lol but for money this time. I only took two of the kids with me. I will take two each time so they don't get tired of it. I had to do all the talking but I think after a while they will get it down from hearing me say it so much and maybe they will do the talking. So we still have I think 18 bars left and when they are gone I will let my aunt and uncle know what the total is. So we need someone else to do a match for our next box ... anyone? It helps I think people are willing to give more when they know it is being matched when their $2 becomes $4. so please let me know if anyone reading this wants to help out.
