I am so thankful to everyone who has donated so far. It has been so encouraging to have the support of my friends and family throughout the preparation of this trip. I just wanted to update everyone on how my fundraising is going. 
So far, I have raised $2,180. I still have a long way to go to reach $14,300 to be fully funded, but I believe it is more than possible to get there.
We have a deadline approaching so the staff can continue to buy our plane tickets. By December 15th, I need to have $5,000 in my support account. Which means, I have to raise almost $3,000 in just TWO weeks!

I am also selling Suubi necklaces ($20) and Threads of Hope bracelets ($2 each or 3 for $5), which make wonderful Christmas gifts! I am more than happy to mail them to you, so please e-mail me if you’re interested. They are also on sale at Java House in South Lyon, MI so stop by and pick some up!
I also wanted to share a breakdown of how your donations will directly effect me in the field. One of my squadmates created this, so I’m borrowing it from her because I think it is important to see what our budget will be like in the field.

transportation (from my housing to my ministry site) for one day.

Keep in mind, monthly donations are possible! If you can’t afford to give much as a one time gift, consider setting up monthly payments! If you plan to send monthly donations, it would be a huge blessing to me if you would send me a message to let me know. That way, I can include it in my pledges and let the staff know the support I expect to receive every month.
