RSSWhere Does Your Money Go?
May 27
Have you ever considered donating to a charitable organization, but were a little hesitant because you weren’t quite sure where your money was going? And yes, I am about to ask you for money. I understand your hesitation. Therefore, I’m giving you the chance to donate while seeing how every single penny of your donation is spent.
Some of you know I’ve been going back & forth to Ethiopia the last couple of years and I’ll be going back soon. And some of you have asked me what I do while I’m in Ethiopia. Here’s the long and short of it. I go visit widows & orphans and ask them what they need, and I get it for them, if I can. And when I say need I mean need: food, clothing, & shelter.
For example, some of you remember a video I did with a young man named Mulugeta. He was wearing about a size 7 shoe, but needed an eleven or so. We made sure Mulugeta got money for shoes. We paid Mimi’s rent for a year. We also bought food and clothing for Ayu and her family. Another missionary helped buy bunk beds for Metasebia, who had been sleeping on an earthen floor with her older uncle.
So this time I had the bright idea that maybe you might want to get in on some of this good giving action. If you make a donation to help provide for widows and orphans on my upcoming trip to Ethiopia, any time I use any of your money, my camera will be with me & I’ll show you exactly where all of your money is going. So if you’re interested, hit me up by June 5th and I’ll get you the details.
Peace & Thanks,
