Let me tell you about the
last two fundraiser we just finished a frozen cookie dough sale and a fundraiser
banquet.
My mum had organized the cookie fundraiser, and we
had to extent the sale by a week and once all was done and said we raised $380
The banquet, well that, my family and I have been organizing
for months, for me it was truly a fight to get there. Within the week of it happening, everything
keep on failing, some of my entertainment getting sick, people not showing up,
no communication, but keep surrendering it to God. I mean I KNOW that God wants
to work in mighty ways in the next year and Satan will do anything he can to
stop, so we pushed through and asked God to step in everyday. That day I woke up with a fever and could not
eat, but prayed God would help me make it through the night. (Above picture – yes…. this is a cake )
As we got there we set up and it look beautiful,
everyone had a task and all came together. We had a silent auction, games
planned, talk show starring an interview with me, beautiful talented singers, a three
course meal and a presentation on what exactly everyone was supporting.
We had 20 guest and 9 volunteers, it was a
beautiful night
donated, and most of the dinner was donated (At least 80%). So I bet you’re
wondering the total raised, ok it was a total of
… dun dun dun….
$683 giving the praise to the Lord
Both fundraiser Raised a grand total of $1063

We had a great time and a reminder my sister told

are doing and your heart for it and God.
