One of my least favorite things....

Fundraising.  Definitely not fun and one of the things that I like the least about my missionary life.  However, this time it is not for me but for a project that is very dear to my heart.  It is for my little buddy Richcarde, the one that I took to Dominican Republic last year for heart surgery.  He and his family (his mom and five siblings) live in a 12' x 16' one room plywood house on rented land.  Their lease has expired and they must move their house by the end of this month.  We are trying to help them to do this and have found a piece of land to purchase where we can move their house as well as their neighbor's house (one of my other little buddies, Joni, lives next door).  The total cost for the project is $8,000 to buy the land, pour foundations for their houses, dig a pit toilet, replace some rotting plywood on the houses, and move them.  If you would like to contribute to this project you can do so here and just put "house move" in the notes.  If you have any questions about this project feel free to contact me!
