Thank you...

Today I received the most amazing gift from my cousin Jody. He has the biggest heart of anyone I think I have ever met. I am so grateful for his support, he truly is a blessing.

Kelly, my money is not my money. It is God's, I wouldn't give it to you if i did not think it was for a good cause. You are doing His work, why wouldn't i support that. I have extra right now, and i am more than happy to give it to you for your cause. Like i said, I got $200 from my union, and i am going to give $200. so that's $400. I have a plan to for at least $100 more. You said you need $2000, I figure $500 at least would help you on your way. If things go the way I think they will I will be able to do more. This is not just me donating, this is other people stepping up too. I am asking every one I know to help out. So I hope that by Mike's wedding i will have at least $500, hopefully more. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for the cause. 

God Bless, 
Jody

I have never felt so much love and support for a cause in my whole life. I am so passionate about this trip and helping as much as I possibly can. I never expected the outpouring of support that I have received from my friends and family all so willing to help despite their own economic situations. I feel so very blessed and am so happy to be apart of something so great!

Thank you all!

Love,

Kelly

Blessed!

Today I received another $100 towards my goal and two people told me they would be donating possibly a little more than they can spare because they care so much. I can't express in words how grateful I am to those so willing to help and give. It makes heart melt almost, I am so grateful and thankful for being blessed with the people in my life. Everyone has been so amazing and I cannot wait to get to Guatemala and start helping. I can't wait to put these donations to good use. So I can have stories to bring home with me and share with everyone. 

God bless,

Kelly

Donations

I sent out about 60 letters and only 2 people have donated money. So far this has been a pretty unsuccessful fundraiser. I'll try to be patient and see if anymore donations come in... But the outlook may be grim. Hopes are high though, only need $1150 to reach my goal. Fingers crossed for more donations!

Love,

Kelly

Now $200 closer to my goal of $1500!!

Meeting on Sunday! Can't wait.

Thanks Paupi!

Meeting

Meeting on March 8th to discuss fundraising and such for the trip... Less than 4 months now!

Things to do:

Apply for passport

Collect remainder of funds

Purchase plane ticket

Buy a rain coat and rain boots

I'm sure there are plenty more things to do, I just can't think of them at the moment.

Love,

Kelly

Four Months!

I believe today makes it exactly 4 months until my departure to Guatemala with Habitat for Humanity.

I'm so very excited and cannot wait to go!

Everyone has been so supportive of this trip and that makes me so happy... My uncle even offered to pay for the trip in its entirety if I needed it! Hooray for family with big hearts!

I'm so looking forward to going and meeting the people we are going to be building for. I am ready to get dirty and do some manual labor for a good cause. We are supposed to be building 3 houses in 2 weeks time. I can't wait to help! I just hope the rain can hold off a bit, since we will be going during their rainy season :( Oh well time to invest in a good rain coat and a pair of rain boots I guess. :) 

So far I have collected $100 towards my goal for this trip... Keep it coming!

Love,

Kelly
