Its that time to start asking the hard question. Asking people to support me. I have been really struggling with this. I have been having a hard time asking people for money. I have been on my own for so long without anyones help or guidance that the more i get into this journey the more overwhelmed I am. Not just with everything i have to do but with everything people are willing to do for me. Its been amazing the people who have reached out. Its been even more amazing the things that God has taught me just in the last week of preparation for this trip.
I would like to take this time to thank the people who are supportive of this trip. Thank you to those of you who i know might be cutting something out of your life to help give a little extra for me to go and bring Gods name some glory. I cant wait to see the blessing he pours out onto your lives as well. Id like to thank the people who are still in prayer about if and how much they should donate. THANKS!!
Now its time for some supernatural favor!

Even if you can't give a ton— anything helps !!! **IN ADDITION TO THE $15,550: I also have a registry with REI you can go check it out if you would like to help me with this expense. Gift cards would also be great you can give one through the registry!! Go to Rei.com and go to the gift registry button at the top of the page. After you do this you can type in my first and last name under the registry search and it will bring it up. Also some of the items will be cheaper on amazon or other sites. If you feel that you want to purchase any of the items you can also search other websites for them if they are cheaper.. It was just easier to create an account on REI.. Just let me know if you would like to purchase something and if its not through REI let me know so i can take it off my registry. 🙂 thanks a million ————————————————————————————————— More on DynaPay
