Fundraising and Support

Thank You!

First I would like to start off by thanking everyone who has donated towards my missions trip. This journey that I will soon embark on wouldn’t be possible without your support and prayers. Throughout this fundraising process my confidence and dedication towards this trip have grown despite the many roadblocks that I’ve had to overcome.

Now as to be expected when people donate money they tend to want to know how that money is being used; I would like to take this opportunity to elaborate on how my funding is being allocated and hopefully persuade others to donate towards my cause as well.

 

Deadlines & Current Funding

First of all I need to address the deadlines that I have to reach in order to go on this missions trip; I will also go over where I currently at in my fundraising goal.

$5,000 – Due 6/18/19 (DEADLINE MET!!)
$10,000 – Due 8/15/19
$13,000 – Due 11/5/19
$16,600 – Due 1/5/19

Currently, thanks to all of your generous donations I am at $6,620 as of 7/4/19!!! Now while I am definitely on the path towards completing my fundraising there is still a lot of work that I need to do in order to make this trip possible. Now for the specifics; the funding will cover many different things throughout my journey, all which are vital in order to have a safe and successful trip.

Prayer is also a very important way to help me; I encourage everyone reading this to be willing to pray for my safety and for wisdom throughout this fundraising process and throughout the trip. I believe in the power of God and prayer and any prayers will be greatly appreciated.

 

You can also help me out by spreading my journey, this can be done by person or through social media. Any exposure will be greatly helpful to completing my fundraising goal. If you have anyone who you think would be willing to support me I would be more than happy to talk to them.
Thank you all again for the support and encouragement that you’ve all given me!! I couldn’t do this without you!! Again, if you have any questions please contact me and have a great day!!
