"a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step..." -Laozi
Plane tickets to Uganda have officially been purchased..! I could say that this is the first step in this journey, but I know I could not have done it without the support of so many family members and friends. It is truly humbling to have so many people willing to give financially and also encourage me as I prepare for this summer. I can only imagine what this summer holds, but I believe that the change that happens will affect more than just the children with whom I will be working, my teammates or me - I do hope it will have an impact on each one of you as well. I am so grateful to have each one of you in my life, and cannot wait to share stories and pictures of this summer with you!
Before I can get to Uganda, though, I need to have raised $3750 (by May 22 - one month before we leave). Here are my current fundraising stats:
Raised so far: $3004
Left to raise: $746
I ask that those who have not yet had a chance to give please partner with me in my fundraising efforts. Any amount you are able to give is truly appreciated. It has been such a blessing to watch the funds come in, and I don't doubt that the rest will flow in just in time!
There are two options for giving:
ONLINE: Please go to my StayClassy page and click “DONATE NOW”. You can choose to make your donation anonymous if you do not want your name to appear publicly on my fundraising page. If you choose to do that, please feel free to contact me so I can add your name to my list of supporters.
BY MAIL: Please make checks out to FLOOD (Church); for cash gifts, name and address are required for a tax receipt. These can be sent to my address here:
Mikaela McGee
8849 Gramercy Drive
San Diego, CA 92123
I will be updating this page regularly with fundraising efforts before leaving for Uganda. Updates will be on a weekly (or bi-weekly, depending on the internet situation) basis while I'm in country.
