support.
As I begin to prepare for this trip, I know I cannot do this on my own. I need support from you, my friends and family.
Financial Support
The estimated cost of the trip is $5,200. This includes airfare, transportation in country, lodging, food, and any project costs. COTN would like me to have the money raised by the beginning of September. In addition to the trip cost, I will also need money to buy miscellaneous trip supplies.
How can you help??
- A big thing that I am focusing on is collecting aluminum cans. I will collect cans and then bring them to a recycling plant to cash them in. The thing is, I need thousands of cans to even make a couple hundred dollars. For more information on how you can help me with this project, go here: http://kmafrica.tumblr.com/cans
- I will be cleaning homes/apartments and doing random odd jobs for a donation. Just contact me for information.
- My team will most likely be doing some fundraisers in the Orlando area—eat at a restaurant and get 10% of the profit, benefit show, etc. I will post when more information about these fundraisers becomes available.
- Donate funds. See below for information on how to donate online or through a check. If you wish to see my support letter, you can do so here: http://kmafrica.tumblr.com/supportletter
If you would like to make an online donation, you can do so here: http://www.cotni.org/opportunities/6
Be sure to enter in my venture code: MA_TLC110
Also, if you do make an online donation, it is helpful if you let me know. The team’s funds are all lumped together into one account so if I know the names of who donated online, I am able to tell COTN that those funds go towards my trip cost.
If you would prefer to send a check or would like more information, please contact me at kmarks625@gmail.com and I will get back to you with my address or the answer to your question. Thanks!
Pray
Besides donating financially, you can also pray. Prayer is a very powerful thing. Pray for the support raising process, the other people going on this trip, the people we will talk to, the stories we will write, and for Malawi and Uganda.
Thank you for partnering with me. God bless!
