How Can You Help?
As most of you know, I must raise $13,500 (not including traveler’s insurance, all of the gear, several plane tickets, and other supplies I will need) to fund my year with the World Race. My first deadline is $3000 on September 27. This blog has a "progress bar" at the top so that all of my supporters can see how much is in my account and how much I still need to reach my goal ๐
There are a variety of avenues for you to support me financially, listed and explained below:
- Online donations https://www.adventures.org/give/donate.asp?giveto=worldrace&desc=For%20Brianna%20Lomas
- Upside: Super fast!
- Downside: There are added fees for online donations, 3% for Credit and Debit Cards and 2% for eChecks.
- DynaPay (Automated recurring donations) http://www.adventures.org/dynapay/
- Upside: SUPER helpful for me in reaching my support goals and if you sign up with DynaPay to automate this process, there are NO processing fees!
- Downside: You have to sign up for DynaPay, though it’s not a painful process and only takes a few minutes.
- Special note: Any payments occurring after June 2014 will go to the general World Race account, not directly to me, since I must be fully funded by this time (6 months into my trip).
- Checks written to Adventures in Missions (These MUST include a completed AIM support card so AIM knows the money is meant for me, so please contact me and I will send this to you via email, Facebook, or snail mail)
- Upside: ALL of the money you give goes directly to my account (NO fees for processing!)
- Downside: Traditional checks (not eChecks) must be submitted through by snail mail. Then, they can take up to two weeks to process.
- Checks written to me
- Upside: Checks written to me can help me buy gear and supplies I need for the trip. If a check is written to me and I don’t need to purchase anything, I’ll just send the money on to AIM for my account.
- Downside: Same as sending checks to AIM. Also, you have to trust my financial stewardship ๐
If you have any questions at all about any of these options, please don't hesitate to contact me! My e-mail is [email protected], or you can always contact me through Facebook ๐
For those of you who are curious, my financial deadlines are as follows:
- September 28th, 2013 — $3,000
- December 18th, 2013 — $5,500
- April 1st, 2014 — $9,500
- July 1st, 2014 — $13,500
Every bit of your support is appreciated, and I am so thankful for YOU!
In Christ,
Brianna
