I want to be open with all of you about funds for my trip.  I will keep this post updated on total funds raised so you  can see how I am doing.  I think you have a right to know since it is by you that I am able to go on this trip.  Keep checking back and watch God work.  ๐Ÿ™‚

When I first knew I was going to go on this trip, I started a CD in the bank.  I made sure I was getting the greatest possible rate, and I put the money away for 3 months.  While it is was in there, earning interest, I continued saving a portion of my check each week and setting it aside.  Once those three months were up, I added what I had saved and renewed my CD.  The current up-to-date total for the money I have saved up on my own is $2,123.85.  I will continue this save and renew method until I go, earning a little extra interest doesn't hurt.  ๐Ÿ™‚

I have received a lot of support!  I thank you all!  I am very grateful to everyone who has helped me.  The current up -to-date total on donations received from all of you is $8,210.57.  Again, I am very grateful for all those who have supported me.  ๐Ÿ™‚
