Fundraising!

Hello friends and followers! As you know if you have read my other post, starting in August I will be spending a year in Scotland volunteering with the Young Adult Volunteer Program. It is a program run through the Presbyterian Church USA. I will be working with underprivileged youth and protected adults.

One of the most important parts of preparing for my trip is building a group of support before I leave. During the more trying times of the year, because I know there will be some, I hope to rely on prayers and support at home. I am looking for any type of support you are willing to give, whether that is prayers, donations, letters, or just some good vibes sent my way.

For fundraising I have an individual goal of $4000, but I have a group goal of $8000. I will be living with two other volunteers in Scotland and close by to 3 others in a different flat. The $8000 is to help the entire group since we will be working together and supporting each other all year. This money is just a part of the funds it will take to send me over to Scotland and live for a year.

I'm so excited to start this journey after graduation! I want to thank you all in advance for any support you can give me. Even just a stranger's prayers will be helpful! The Holy Spirit works wonders!
