Hello everyone!

I wanted to provide an update on where I stand financially with my support raising. Thanks to everyone who has given so far, I'm currently at $4,144.50! I can't thank all of my donors enough for getting me to this point – it is much appreciated.

That means I have $11,355.50 to go in order to achieve my goal of $15,500. Once I hit that financial milestone, I'll begin to work on raising the additional funds to cover my gear, travel insurance, vaccines, etc.

Of course, if anyone would prefer to donate toward any of my additional items which are not included in the $15,500, you may write a check directly to me at any point. However, please keep in mind that these donations will not be tax deductible like those written to AIM are.

My next financial deadline is in mid-June, when I must have $6,500 in my account, so I only have $2,355.50 to go until that point.

Please continue to pray for my preparation for this journey – I'm expecting God to use me in BIG ways!

Love you all!
