Goal Met!

Praise the Lord! My fundraising goal has been met and I am convinced that God is eager to get me going on this trip. I want to thank everyone of you that has pledged, prayed, and sent out well wishes for my trip. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I just feel so loved during this process!
I do have a new financial goal now of $1,000, and this is a personal goal to help my team in raising funds to purchase mattresses, flip flops, and eyeglasses. If you are still interested in supporting this trip, these needs are vital to the success of our mission. I will personally purchase hundreds of pairs of flip flops/crocs here in the US and will bring them to Ethiopia with me. There are many children there who have never had a pair of shoes. Many walk for 2-3 miles every morning, before sunrise, just to go fill 2 buckets of clean water from a local well. Doing this trip barefoot sounds unimaginable. I will also be buying eyeglasses in bulk from Sams Wholesale and Sam Moon. These will be all different prescriptions. Any remaining funds I want to use to purchase mattresses for the local street children who sleep on the floor of their homes. The mattresses are going to be purchased in Addis Abbaba, the capital of Ethiopia, by the men on our team when we arrive. Again, my goal for these items will be to raise an additional $1000. We are also welcoming any donations of flip flops, eyeglasses or even neosporin for the medical team. Thank you all so much for considering and please keep this trip in your prayers. If you have ANY questions I would love to talk to each of you as I am just PUMPED about this opportunity. Give me a shout at either rozalyn@rrileymedia.com or 214-683-9022.
In Him....Roz
