I have updated & revamped the wish list a little bit & eliminated a few things that are possible for us to purchase there, in effort to support business in Guatemala.
OUR goal is to carry two fifty pound suitcases filled w/donations & to be able to bring a monetary gift to them in hopes of supporting at least one guatemalan family for a year! We are counting on you to help us reach this goal. Below you can find an itemized list.
If each of our friends donated one item or even $5.00, We could fill more than we could carry &how AWESOME would that be!
Which leads me to this....I will be hitting the pavement doing what I can to earn the money 2 make my dream come true by"sharing the gift of love & bringing the children & people of Gautemala much needed essentials."
Juli(my traveling angel) has set the date of departure for Jan 4th 2011 to begin our 14 day mission .We r planning on arriving in Guatemala City & making our way to Antigua all on OUR own,meeting w/ Common Hope organization to deliver our gifts & hopefully touch base w/ As Green As it Gets. We will be exploring the cities ALone & hope to be able to make it to the very place Juli had once visited & hiked..Pacaya Volcano site! Sadly Pacaya erupted last May leaving behind virtually NOTHING! So as we snuggle up comfy in our plush pillow top beds~just stop & imagine the cities & families in the crossing of that volcano who have lost EVERYTHING & are in desperate need of even the most simplest of essential needs. So, as you can see this is a very rewarding experience to be able to go over & help in any way we can!
If any of you would like to sponsor me in my efforts to save enough money to make this journey happen~ I will be accepting donations both monetarily & from this list . Plz contact me w/ any questions on facebook or lookin4simplicity@gmail.com or call me @ 207-431-2055! (Plz leave a message on phone & I will return your call)Also , I have put a donation button on my blog page via paypal for those wanting to give a monetary donation.
Since the day I spoke w Juli about this~my heart has skipped 1000 beats! The excitement & joy Im feeling to be able to think I could finially fulfill a passion that has been calling me for years~ I may not being "SAVING THE WORLD " But every lil bit counts!! GOD IS GOOD!
I look forward to this journey & pray for PEACE, LOVE & HAPPINESS for you all !!
