I NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT..........

On June 13th I placed my first order from a website to order handkerchiefs. I had this idea of sending out a handkerchief (read my previous posts) to the women who I had been reading about on blogs, those who lost their precious babies. I also hoped that people could come to me and request a handkerchief for someone that they knew who had lost a child. Then I spent several day working on my new blog. I put my first post up on June 21st. I wasn't sure how it would be accepted, I just knew that I wanted to do this. I must say that it has been warmly welcomed and I have heard nothing but wonderful comments about this service.

This project is still in the early stages and I have investigated different ways to do this but I am not currently set up as anything. It just me, my blog and the handkerchiefs I am mailing out. I have mailed out 17 handkerchiefs since I started. I started with a simple order of 30 and recently placed a large order for 150. (Better prices from the company & the embroidery store when you do bulk) So right now the additional 150 are being embroidered. I also purchased handkerchiefs boxes which work out very well for my mailings along with business cards, address labels and tissue paper. It all seemed to come together so quickly and I know that God made this possible.

What I need to say to you is that I am not set up yet as a non-profit business or organization. I have done some research but I felt that until I see how this project goes I wasn't going to hire the attorney, CPA and board members that you need to do that. That just seems to be way over my head at this time. I just want to mail out the handkerchiefs!

The reason I am telling you this is that I can only accept donations in my name at this time. All I can do right now is promise you from the bottom of my heart that I would never use a donation in any other way other than how it was intended to be used. I could never use this money for my personal use. That is not who I am and I think that I have a friend in the blog world who would attest to my loyalty. Anything I receive will be put right back into sending out more handkerchiefs. I am willing to show you all the costs involved in putting this together. If you want that information please leave me a comment with that request. Also if you want to make a donation it would have to be in my name and not the name of this blog. If you want to do that please leave me a comment about making a donation and I will send you my address. These donations cannot be used as a tax deduction.

Just a thought...

If you belong to a church, you might be able to arrange a sponsorship with them. That way, people could donate to your church and get the tax deduction.

I know that, for me, that isnt an issue at all. Just knowing that you are doing this is "tax deduction" enough.

Nicole said...

I may know someone who could get you set up as a non-profit without going through all that other stuff. I will talk to them.

I think that For Your Tears will continue to grow and I pray that God blesses it!

SPECIAL REQUEST: I would sincerely appreciate it if you did not share my Ministry on Facebook or Pinterest so I can continue to mail out my handkerchief's. These audiences are just too big for my small ministry.....thank you.
