Fund Raising


To raise money for my trip, I've begun with a few simple steps.

  • Selling Home Made Fudge - We have a family recipe for 5lb Fudge that has been in our family for years. I can make chocolate or peanut butter, and if you like I can add nuts to it. I'm selling it for $6/lb or $25/batch. (You save $5 if you buy a whole batch!)
  • Fund Raising Letter to friends and family - Many of you looking at this right now will soon be receiving a letter from me telling you all about my trip to South Africa and Mauritius, and asking you for donations and prayers. Please consider sending a donation to help support this trip.
  • Offering up my services - My parents raised me to work hard for my money, and taught me many useful skills. I can cook, clean, work in the yard, do basic work on most cars (if you've got a manual I can figure out how to do most anything else), and more. If you're interested, please feel free to email me or reply to this post.
  • And more! - Other ideas are floating around in my head right now... yard sales, a concert... if you have an idea about how I can raise funds, don't hesitate to share it with me.
As of now, I've raised $750.00 of the $3,000 I need to raise. I need to have $1,300 by the end of July to purchase my tickets to South Africa, and I need the final $1,000 when I take off to go to South Africa in early September.

Thanks for reading!
