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

Things to do:

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