Where did you get $32,000?

Here are the numbers. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

$2700 First Yard Sale
$1700 Second Yard Sale + Kids Clothes Connection Sales
$16,000 from approximately FIFTY other family members and friends
______________
Approx total $32,000 (As  I write this, we are at the $30,000 mark but I am confident God will provide another $2000!)
