Hey Everyone!
I have searched and searched to find all the specific information on where all of the money we raise goes and what it is used for. I wanted to know where it went, so I am sure you are wondering as well. There is a lot of behind the scenes work that goes on, but the majority of the funds goes to me the Racer. Every time I look at the amount needed I cringe inside. I think to my self. How am I going to come up with this amount of money? What God keeps whispering to me is, you can’t but I CAN! God is so faithful to his children. I know he will provide the funds for me. I have a saying that I have heard a long time ago when I first started doing missions, God’s will, God’s bill. I am not saying that I am going to completely sit back and not do my part and wait for the money to come in. It doesn’t work like that. I am working and will continue to work multiple jobs if I have to, up until the time for launch. I know God has already made the senders and in HIS timing they will provide and listen to that call on their life as well.
I also understand that you may be uncomfortable donating because you may want to know where exactly your money is going to. With that being said, here are some charts to help break down where the money goes:
Training Camp: $340.34
Field Support: $680.68
WR Development Program: $2,042.04
Administration Fees: $2,892.89
World Racer: $11,061.05
As the chart says, 65% of my funds raised goes towards my own expenses. Here is another chart to break down my personal budget:
Intercontinental Trvel: $4,977
Food: $1,438
Lodging: $2,102
Transportation: $1,217
Long Distance Travel & Misc. Supplies: $1,327
Whenever I donate to someone, I like to know where exactly my money is going so I thought I would provide this information for y’all. Also, while I do not leave until January, I do have certain deadlines that I have to meet in order to go:
September 23, 2016: $5,000
December 16, 2016: $10,000
February 28, 2017: $13,000
April 30, 2017: $17,017
Once again, while the full amount isn’t due until April of next year, my goal is to have the full amount raised before we launch. Please be in prayer that that goal may be met. Also, THANK YOU to everyone who has already shown so much support to me through encouragement, finances, and prayer. Y’all are AMAZING!
