I’m just going to say it… Fundraising is scary.
It’s completely uncomfortable and unnatural to ask people for something that they work so hard to acquire. Honestly, it’s the only part of this process that worries me.
Many doubts and prayers have resulted from the task of raising just about $16,500 to depart on this journey.
While most days I’d like to think I can just silently slip money into the account and fund it all myself just to avoid asking for help… I am reminded that while $16,500 is an absolutely enormous amount of money to me, it is very little number to God. I have to have faith that He has placed every dollar into the hands of people who will feel moved to support this mission.
I think I’ve finally been challenged to attempt something that I simply cannot do alone. It does, in fact, take a village to raise a child… and I am humbly asking for whatever support you may be able to contribute.
I’m sending letters out this week, but I’ve also attached it below! Please know that your thoughts, prayers, donations or support in any capacity, is deeply appreciated.
