5 ways to give

First of all – a big ole THANK YOU to anyone and everyone who has supported/donated already to my world race fund! The generosity of people continues to amaze me! Fundraising is such a hard and emotional process, more than most people realize. Asking people for money is awkward and uncomfortable in so many ways. But I’m trusting in Jehovah Jireh (The Lord who provides) to continue to be faithful in providing!!! Because as of today I am 13% funded!!!

I am working out some details for a few fundraising events throughout the upcoming months but my first deadline fastly approaching! I need to have $5,000 by July to attend our team’s training camp and $10,000 by October to leave so I need YOUR help! I want everyone to be apart of this journey to help bring love, hope and restoration to the ends of the Earth!

SO HERE WE GO:

1. ADOPT A DAY

Did you know that just $50 covers an entire day of expenses on the race?

In this fundraiser, I will be putting my world race days up for “adoption”. You can adopt one day on my World Race for $50, you can adopt two days for $100, etc. You can adopt a week for $350 or even a whole month for $1,400. After you donate, I will write your name on my calendar (that I will be bringing with me on the race) on the number of days that you have adopted.

 

Knowing that one of my loved ones paid for me to be wherever I am on that day will be so encouraging for me. So on the day that you choose to adopt I will send you a personal message to tell you exactly what your money helped accomplish for the kingdom of God on that day. The best part is that you are making that specific day possible on my race. Without your $50 donation I wouldn’t be there in the first place! I hope that on the day you adopt in particular, you will come alongside me in prayer for the people we will be interacting with!

 

If you choose to participate in adopt a day, after you donate send me a message or comment on this blog post and pick any day between October 2016 – August 2017 to adopt!

 

2. T-SHIRTS

 

I have worked with an organization called Fund the Nations on my t-shirt design. I love the simple message they embody. Just Go – whether its out into your neighborhood, to a different state, or to a different nation God has asked us as believers to go and serve. So for just a $20 donation you can have one of these totally awesome soft t-shirts and for $5 more i’ll ship the t-shirts right to your front door!

   

 

You can either get with me for a cash donation or donate the $20 into my world race account by clicking on the “support me” tab! After you donate, send me a message with your size (anywhere between S-3XL) and your color choice for the shirts! Once I reach at least 25 t-shirt sales I will place the order and get them to you as soon as possible!

 

3. ADOPT A JAR

 

I am selling 11 mason jars! Each jar represents one of the 11 countries I will be going to: India, Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Botswana, Swaziland, South Africa, Peru, Chile, Bolivia and Argentina.

Here is how this works: claim your jar (the specific country you want) and while it’s in your possession fill it with spare change, dollar bills, encouraging notes, or anything you’d like! Each Jar will be sold for $20 and will be labeled with the specific country you requested with some info I have about that country! You can put these jars at your business, pass it around at your church and workplace, or even just have it sitting somewhere you’ll see it everyday! Once your jar is full, you can return it to me and all the money in the jar will go directly toward my World Race fund. I’ll save all the encouraging notes in the jar to read for when I’m on the race and I need some extra love from y’ll here in the states. (I would like to have the jars collected by my first fundraising deadline in July)

 

4. GIFT CARDS

 

I am in need of a ton of gear for this journey and I currently have ZERO of it (I guess you could say i’m a little behind)….So for those of you who have been wanting to donate but are uncomfortable with donating to an organization you don’t know, this is an easy way to show your support!!! Gift cards to places like REI or amazon will help me purchase the gear that I will need for the trip. You’ll be blessing me by taking some of this financial burden off my shoulders!

 

5. SIMPLY DONATE

 

Truly, every single donation makes a difference – it’s not just a donation, it’s you letting me know that you’re here for me, that you’re praying for me, that you believe in me and that you support my calling. So by clicking on the “Support Me” tab and giving any amount I will proudly hug you and thank you for being apart of this journey with me.

 

 

 

I love all of you more than you know! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about my trip, my story or why I’m choosing to give it all up and go.

 

xoxo,
