I am closing in on my fundraising goal! We leave in 3 weeks, so the excitement is building...!
I'd like to say...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to those who came out last weekend for the benefit party. The music was great, raffle prizes were won, it was a super nice evening. And I made a good chunk towards the full donation to Acupuncture Relief Project. I am coming close to raising the $4500 goal, so if you didn't make it to the benefit, and would like to contribute, please click...right...here! -->
I am also accepting personal contributions towards my own travel expenses. This trip is a financial adventure in and of itself, and any help towards all avenues of the cause is appreciated. Let me know if you would like to donate to me personally. It will go towards my own well being, financially and while traveling around Nepal in March, as well as the well being of my 13 year old cat who was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism this fall. He's doing well, but the unexpected cost of blood draws and medication has interrupted my ability to save as much as I'd hoped for this trip.
AND, if you are unable to contribute monetarily, would like to help out, and live in the Portland area, here is another way to contribute:
I am moving in the coming week, and will be completely out of my subletted house by the end of the year. I am doing box and furniture moving this coming Friday (23rd), and the last of it will happen on the 30th and 31st. (I will be out of town the 24th thru the 29th) Any hands, cars, and tea/coffee/food runs are graciously accepted! And if you don't have a car, let me pick you up. Two pairs of hands are so much better than one. It will be mostly lightweight furniture and boxes. All the heavy stuff I own is already in storage. More clearly, this will be EASY. And all the easier with your help.
Text or call me if you'd like to lend a hand: 608-556-6501
And lastly, thank you all so much for any support you've given me so far, even in thoughts and in kind words wishing me well on this adventure. The more I watch the world grow and change, the more it becomes apparent that the support of community is what will bring us (as humans and creatures of the planet) back to a state of health and well being. It is my hope that this continues to happen on a larger scale. (I know it will). This trip is my way of attempting a contribution to the world, and of beginning a life-long journey of this practice.
Happy Holidays to everyone,
Jessica
