Abigail’s turning 24 on Sunday and has a birthday wish setup through Causes on Facebook.
Going to India has been a life long dream for me. If you were looking for a good cause to donate to or thinking about getting me something for my birthday *wink wink* there is nothing I’d be happier about. Either way, pass the word along…
Thanks!!!

We currently stand at $859 raised for our trip to India in October. We are working out the details now, but have a rough goal of $3,000 per person.
Also, if you have any shopping online to do at Amazon, CafePress, iTunes, Caribou Coffee and other places visit the shop link on our site. A percentage of each purchase goes towards our trip! *smile*

Hi everyone!
We have a really exciting opportunity to earn some money for HelpSend.Us just by doing what we’re doing anyway this time of year – shopping for the holidays. Hundreds of websites like Target, Best Buy, and Expedia have agreed to donate a percentage of any purchase you make to our cause! All you have to do is download the Causes Toolbar and then it will track your online shopping and automatically donate a percentage to us. You don’t have to do anything else — download the toolbar and you’re done!

To Our Friends, Family and Supporters:
Sadly we were unable to make our fundraising goal in time for our trip to Ghana in October 2009. The mission team we were to be traveling with from Fuel International will be traveling from October 8 – 19. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers for safe travel and a productive trip.
We have raised a total of $630, all of which will be transferred to a new trip for us to go on in 2010. None of the money will be lost. We are currently looking at dates, costs, volunteer project options, etc.
We will be taking the trip through Fuel International next year so any money we raise through donations will be tax-deductble. Our hope is to travel to India or Ghana next year. If you can, please take a minute to consider helping us with our fundraising efforts. A $10 donation (any amount is welcome) will help send us on missions in 2010!
Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.
Always Learning,
