Hello everyone! I figured I would take a second to fill all those in who have been helping me to reach my deadlines. I am currently sitting at $7,650 and that means I hit my second deadline of $7,500 by December 18th a little early! The exact same thing happened last deadline, about two-three weeks before deadline was due I got enough to but me over the first deadline of $3,500. It has been a busy, hectic, nonstop ride but I can honestly say I am more excited about this than I have ever been about anything! I have been trying to do fundraisers and visit with family while I still have time, also making sure I have all the things I need for this trip. I believe I am only needing 5 things at this point so that in itself is amazing to know I am so close to being done with that list. I want to thank each and every one of you for helping me to reach this point in my journey. The encouragement and support mean more to me than I will ever be able to express to y’all! I will be ordering t-shirts within the next week- week in a half, so I will keep y’all posted. Also while I am extremely thankful for everything I want to remind everyone that I LEAVE in 35 days!! It is vastly approaching! I would like to take a second to ask if anyone would be willing to consider donating monthly? Even if its $10, $20 a month it will help! I will be starting my trip in January and will still be needing to raise support and have $11,500 for the 3rd deadline in April. So please consider or let others know who may be wanting to help know that monthly donations would be a HUGE help. Honestly any donation is wonderful and appreciated. Thank you all so much! It has been a blessing getting to grow through this whole experience with all of you and cannot wait to let everyone know more as the journey continues with the next steps soon approaching.
