Howdy partners! (Yeah…I’m not southern just sorta super obsessed with Toy Story).
So far, I have been overwhelmed by the amount of support I have had from my wonderful friends and family who have gathered around me. They have put the “fun” in fundraising, so if you’re looking for awesome ways to support me, check out the events below! Some information is subject to change, so watch out for updates.

All the funds listed on my blog cover my cost of living over the course of the year. The only thing that they do not cover, are the supplies I will take with me and the vaccinations I need. Unfortunately, I have never camped before and therefore do not have a lot of the necessary stuff! Please pray with me as I try to scrounge up the following list, and let me know if you are willing and able to help me acquire them!
- Daypack: a regular sized school pack, not too large
- Tent: 2-person, freestanding tent, including a rain-fly and a “footprint” (tent cannot exceed 5-6 lbs, 4 lbs would be preferable)
- Bedding: a sleeping bag rated for at least 35 degrees, a sleeping bag liner, a sleeping pad, hammock
- Rain jacket: quality, lightweight and breathable
- Sandals: durable, waterproof (Keens)
- Small pack towel: sarongs are recommended
- Big quick dry towel (REI)
- Pocket multi-tool or knife
- Headlamp

Please feel free to share this with friends and family! A HUGE thank you to my church family. They have been rockstars throughout this journey. My heart is overflowed with your love and support, and I am praying for you guys always! -{Philippians 1:3}-
