I just wanted to give a really quick update on how our #EnoughStuff project is going! Over the Christmas Boom, we made it to around £2500 on our JustGiving page, thanks to numerous different people around the country selflessly offering their gifts, that people would give to make a home for children half a world away! Then for my birthday, in January, I held a 'Birthday Ball' for my 21st in the church hall at my church in Cambridge, asking guests and family and friends to donate instead of of give me anything. We managed to add around £550 to the JustGiving page and the total from all donations (including JustGiving, cheques and cash given on and around the day) was £975.91 (+ a few anonymous amount donations!). This is just incredible! All of you who donated are wonderful, generous, special people, and I am so grateful to all of you! So THANK YOU. I am incredibly grateful to all of you, and know that your money will make a massive difference. Our #EnoughStuff JustGiving page has now reached a total of £3530! That is GREAT! And also only one of the modes people are raising money for this project all the time. But that is still a long way off our £20,000 target on JustGiving. If you or someone you are close to have an upcoming birthday, or anniversary, or anything at all (any excuse for a party, right? ;-D) - consider mentioning this project and that really, we probably do have #EnoughStuff!
And please, whatever you can give or can't give; please keep this project in your prayers. That the current house would not be sold until we have an alternative ready and that all the logistics like finding and buying land, building materials and so on will all force into place in a timely manner. AMEN.
