Hey Guys   i started a gofundme account for my sister who is going on a Missions Trip to Africa. This is one of many that the Lord has put in her heart. Africa is where her heart is because their is such a NEED there. They live way below poverty level. Anyways if you guys could make a donation to this I would be forever grateful. No donation is to small. $5 could make a HUGE IMPACT if we all just helped out. Emoticonlease no negative comments I'm just looking for ways to spread the word.My sister is a wonderful person she has 2 kids and most of her freetime is spent at homeless shelters and spreading the word of God through helping others in need. She served in the army for a couple years too.if you could post the link to your social media this would greatly be appreciated. LETS MAKE A BIG Impact together.http://www.gofundme.com/su4a9hw[ ADMIN'S NOTE: Please use caution and your best judgment before donating online.

What group is sponsoring this trip? You might have better luck soliciting for the sponsoring group than directly for her.

Bad thing is she lives in North Carolina. and she has a job she works as a civilian for the airforce. She is setting aside alot of her income to help out. The gofundme account is for those people who would like to donate from their hearts for a GREAT cause. It was set up by me for her. But I am willing to make any of my cakes from my previous post to anyone who donates $50 or more. to her missions trip. I live in Kingwood myself. I have nothing but good praises for most of the kingwood.com members. this past winter we all came together and made a HUGE donation to the homeless here in Houston. Clothes, money, and toys. I was so proud to call most of these people my neighbors.And i did mention in my initial posting if you are just going to post negative things please move on to a different message topic. Thank you Kindly 4951

What is her mission there? What is her goal? I am a frequent donator to worthy causes but there isn't a lot of information on who she is working with, what project she is doing and what her goals are. You will be more successful fundraising if those are clearly stated. This is meant as constructive criticism. What village? What issue? What is the proposed solution? What does she need to accomplish her goal? What is her timeline? Is there a Church group or NGO involved?
 
People are wary of vague, specifics bring in the money. 4951

@KellyG: Thanks Kelly. She is leaving mid November. Her Goal is to get there and help the village to try to be self sufficient by helping start school, building water wells, teaching the locals about first aid, and helping the village to grow food with all this in mind. the main Goal is to save souls for Jesus talk to them about salvation. She went on her first trip with a church organization but this time its just a group of missionaries that want to go and HELP OUT. Her church is helping out with the cost of the trip but she is collecting funds to be able to provide medical supplies, clothes, and food.

I applaud her efforts and understand the need for funds however I find there is the need right here in the US and even in Houston rather than sending the funds overseas. 4951
