As you probably already know, helping people especially the less fortunate is something that I think very highly of and try to do when ever possible. I have had the opportunity to work with people in many different way, including going on a mission trip to Jamaica to help at children’s homes, volunteering at the Nazrethian Home (a church ran foster home), and being the staff resident at Shreve Hall.

In Haiti, environmental degradation and overpopulation combined create unbearable conditions for many in the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. Haiti experiences unemployment of over 70% and the average wage of those lucky enough to find employment is the equivalent of approximately US $150.00 per year. Because of the despair in this country I feel a calling help these people in any way I can. On this trip we plan to volunteer at homes for children, help install concrete floors in homes around Baudin, bring basic medical supplies to local residents, celebrate Haitian Independence Day with the locals, and spend time with the residents letting them know we care.

There are many things that I must do to prepare for this trip. Some of these things include studying the culture, receiving necessary vaccinations, team bonding, and finding support for my trip. I am the head of the fund raising committee for this trip. We are raising money raking leave on Saturday mornings for local homes.

In preparation for departure I am looking for support from you, though both prayers and finances. Most importantly, I ask that you pray for me and for the success of my mission. I also ask that you pray for all of my other team members, that God can work though us to show his love and glory. I am very excited to see God do great things! In addition to your prayers I am also looking for your financial support. The total budget for my trip is 1,800. This is where I am asking for your help. It may seem like a large sum of money but every little bit helps!

I would like to thank you for you time in reading this message, and for taking the time to pray with me about this trip. I am extremely excited t o know that lives will be changed (especially mine)!
