Thank you everybody for your generous support! Celia has raised just under $4000—enough to pay for her actual trip from Florida to Malawi and back! The money has been submitted to Teen Missions International and she is good to go! Before now, we were hoping and trusting for provision for her to go. Now it’s finally real.
We’ve purchased her airfare from Spokane, WA to Florida, so subsequent cash donations will go towards travel from Robson, BC to Spokane, WA for her flight to Boot Camp; accommodations on the way there; work boots; the USD $100 fee (per leg of the trip from Spokane to Florida) for a “unaccompanied minor”; spending money, etc etc etc…
For these expenses, only cash/cheque donations directly to Celia Friesen will work. Cheques can still be made out to Teen Missions, but these won’t be applied to Celia now that we’ve met her basic expenses. They’ll go directly to Teen Missions for their other operating expenses.
Again, cash and cheques made out to Celia aren’t tax deductible, but are gratefully received.
