I am now on my 6th month of the Race.  This has been the biggest blessing of my life, to have God choose me, love me, and trust me enough to spend this year serving Him and sharing the Gospel with so many people.  Unfortunately, in order to stay on the Race for the next 5 months I need to be fully funded by January 1.  That means, I have 5 short weeks to make that happen.  In light of this Christmas season, I am doing a fundraiser!

Instead of Christmas gifts (I cannot have anything shipped me to, so I can’t receive them anyways) I am asking friends and family to help get me fully funded!  I am going to present a couple options as possible Christmas gifts!  Remember, all donations are tax-deductible J

Option 1:

I will be posting an advent donation calendar.  There will be a different dollar amount that I will be asking for people to donate.  I will additionally post a daily Christmas themed picture on Facebook and Instagram with the amount I am asking.

Option 2:

I am going to list 11 Christmas gifts I would have asked for had I been home and post the monetary value of each one.  Instead of getting the gifts, I am asking you to donate the monetary value instead. 

  1. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge – $330
  2. Kindle (mine is getting a little squirrely) – $100
  3. Wireless Keyboard for my tablet – $40
  4. Leather Jacket (gotta look sleek) – $50
  5. Amazon Gift Cards – $10, $20, $25, or $50
  6. Old Navy Gift Card (trust me, my clothes will be done for after the Race) – $25 or $50
  7. Wide Angel Lens – $500
  8. Chacos (mine broke last month) – $100
  9. French Press – $30
  10. Magic Bullet – $30
  11. Money towards student loans – Anything helps!

Thank you all so much for how well you have supported me so far!  I have been so blessed by the friends and family God has given me.  Being away from home so long has been hard, but it’s a little easier that I feel so loved from afar.

Enjoy the Christmas holidays!  Drink lots of Peppermint Mochas for me 🙂
