I finally got my poop in a group and wrote the fundraising letter I needed too to get the whole project off the ground. We started a few days ago and it has been going really well! Within the first 3 hours we were already over $140 which is enough to help 10 families for 10 years! Do you know how encouraging that is?
So far we are at 26% of the $3,200 goal... which is amazing. I can't believe that people are taking to this so well, and so quickly. It does this Momma's heart good to know that you can make a difference even if you aren't in the work place.
It has also been really encouraging to see the people who have stepped up already to donate. People I never really would've thought cared about what I was doing... and they were some of the first people to do it. It makes me pretty emotional really. I am so glad that something as small as writing a letter, and sending it through a social network has made such an impact already.
It has been encouraging with my running too. I just got off of a week break because I was so sick... and there are times when I don't feel like continuing, but I know that what I'm doing is helping and making a difference.
May this be just the beginning. I am excited to see what awaits us. :)
