Fundraising deadlines

BIG deadlines coming up and still a lot of funds to raise. For those of you who have made donations (and for those of you thinking of helping) - I am keeping a log of everyone so that I can try to bring my own personal funds with me on the trip and am hoping to help contribute to the local business there and provide an additional keep-sake for you upon my return.

Big "Thank you!" to my friend Jeff Plachta who has, so far, been my largest donor @ $100.

I've gotten about 25% of my total goal raised - but really need to pick it up in order to meet my deadlines which are fastly approaching! Please continue to spread the word to your network and even, perhaps help in taking up a collection from your friends/family/coworkers/church/etc to help take the personal burden off of your pocket books.

I really want to make this trip and be able to personally help those in need, but I can't do it with out your help and continued support! please take the next 5 minutes to 'share' this with others & personally appeal to someone for a contribution.

Will keep you guys posted!
God Bless! ;-)

fundraising update

Funds have been coming in slowly but surely! Still have a long ways to go and am actually looking for corporate sponsorship to help along the way...so if you can assist with that effort, please email me (sendseantohaiti@yahoo.com). As you can see in the top right corner, I have posted a convenient "donate" link that will lead you to contribute via Paypal.

Please continue to help me spread the word about this trip...even perhaps taking up a collection. Anything and *everything* would be so very helpful!

More updates to follow! Considering some fundraising ideas...if you have some good ideas, please let me know!

Thanks again! Talk to you soon! :)

Please Help Send Sean to Haiti

Hello, my name is Sean and I am planning to attend a Mission Trip with Love A Child Ministry in Haiti to help feed hungry children during the time of August 23 - August 28, 2010.

Today in Haiti, the number of deaths is estimated to be more than 222,500 people and the number of injured at almost 300,600 people. In addition, as many as 1.2 million people have been displaced from their homes and communities. Approximately 600,000 people are living in settlements – makeshift communities with minimal privacy or facilities.

I am appealing to you to help me fund this trip with anything you can possibly give. My ‘funds’ goal for the total trip is $2,000, by May 1, 2010.

My hope is that you can find it in your heart to contribute even the smallest amounts to my trip and be able to have confidence that it is going towards a physical presence in Haiti to help those in need DIRECTLY. I will do my best to document the entire journey so that you can have something tangible and direct to show for what your contribution provided (http://sendseantohaiti.blogspot.com/).

For convenience, I have set up a PayPal account under e-mail: SendSeanToHaiti@yahoo.com

If you prefer to send directly, please contact me at SendSeanToHaiti@yahoo.com.

The Ministry that I am attending this Mission Trip with (and all their details) can be found at http://www.loveachild.com/ , by way of the local church here: http://www.freechapel.org/

Your contribution & assistance with passing this along to people you know @ work, school, gym, etc is GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you & God Bless!
