I found gofundme.com
I researched.
I prayed and threw the Hail Mary.
(on the Feast of the Assumption- which is a great day to launch a Hail Mary)
I set up the account. Linked to Facebook and twitter. Shut down the computer and went school supply shopping.
When I came home we had over 400.00 on our page.
As I write this we have 3,325.00.
God is good and his people are generous in spirit. This has been a real lesson in Faith.
I will take the littles for their citizenship physicals on Monday at 3:30. After 2 1/2 years of waiting and worrying it took just hours for friends, family and perhaps the Blessed Mother to make this happen.
Here is our fundraising page. There is a list on the right side of all the people who are a part of our story. We won't ever be able to repay them, but we won't ever forget either.

"Immaculate Mary your praises we sing.
You reign now in Heaven with Jesus our King.
Ave, Ave, Ave Maria. Ave, Ave, Maria."
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant me ever to be able to call upon thy powerful name, since thy name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Ah, Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that thy name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life. Dear Lady, delay not to come to my assistance whenever I call upon thee; for in all the temptations that assail me, in all the necessities that befall me, I will never leave off calling upon thee, ever repeating: Mary, Mary. What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what tenderness fills my soul at the sound of thy name, at the very thought of thee! I give thanks to our Lord, who for my sake hath given thee a name so sweet, so lovable, so mighty. But I am not content merely to speak thy name; I would utter it for very love of thee; it is my desire that love should ever remind me to name thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.
Amen.
