It has been a while since a post has been made on this page... To be honest, I was so skeptical about the effectiveness of our Fundly page. But I have been pleasantly proved wrong. There have been over 900 views of this page (granted, I'm sure about 100 of those were probably made by either myself or someone on my team) and over $500 in donations have been made! At the start of this whole thing, I remember discussing with one of my teammates about how much we should set our goal. I suggested $500 at first... And my teammate suggested $5000. I said that was CRAZY because I didn't think ANYONE would care to donate even $50. But I was so wrong.
We are so encouraged by the support that everyone has been giving us whether it was by just supporting our page or generously donating money. We cannot have gotten this far without all of this support.
Having said that, please continue to show us your support! We still have so much work do to before we can fly out to Urraco! We JUST purchased our flights this week so we are super excited.
So please continue to show us your love and support!
Thank you so much from all the volunteers!
God bless,
