Bonjour everyone! This warm weather is bringing my thoughts to summer... In the past week, so much has happened. Every moment is one step closer to Europe, and I am absolutely thrilled!
Last Wednesday we received our flying information! Our departure date is still July 7th and we fly out of Grand Rapids and have a connecting flight which will bring us to Rome! This news was very exciting, and I enjoy sharing it with everyone.
Thanks to Just Between Friends Boutique in Kalkaska, I got 25% of their purchase income this past Saturday! Once I receive their generous contribution, it will help me take another step financially! I appreciate their generosity very much.
Speaking of funds, I am very happy to say I have raised 82% of my trip funds! A big thanks to my neighbors, family, friends, local businesses, and the grant from Thrivent, I only have $1,281 to raise. May 1st is right around the corner, but I think I will be able to raise at least $281 by then. After May 1st, my parents letting me continue to raise money, and just pay them back directly before July 7th ☺ I am quite confident I will be able to raise the rest of my funds by my departure date, and most likely before! Thank you to everyone who have donated, helped with fundraising, and sponsored me!
To raise the rest of the $1,281, I have a few more current and upcoming fund raisers! A local business in Traverse City, Michigan, called Afrnt (All for Reaching New Talents) has donated me hats to sell for $20 each! I get all of the profit from these hats. For each hat sold, another hat from Afrnt will be personally delivered and donated to someone in need. Afrnt is an inspiring business, they help so many people achieve their dreams, including me! Make sure to check them out. I will include photos of the hats with this blog post. If you'd like to buy one from me, contact me. I can either deliver the hat, if you're near by, or I could possibly ship it! The hats are 100% made in the USA, and labeled and shipped from Michigan ☺ Contact me for more information / details.
Another fundraiser I am doing is a garage sale! The garage sale will be Fri. May 29th, Sat. May 30th, and Sun. May 31st! I will include more details closer to the sale date. Any donations to my garage sale would be much appreciated! Any clothing, books, DVDs, music, furniture, games, cloth, dishes, kitchen supplies, tools, lawn tools, etc. will be greatly appreciated! I can even pick items up! If you have anything to donate, please let me know ☺ Thank you very much. Also, i am currently collecting cans until July for their return deposit.
Thank you very much for your time! I really do appreciate it. My dream trip is nearing everyday, and I am learning a lot to use in my daily life.. thank you all for helping me be able to accomplish this much!
