Housing, Repairs, Monthly and specific needs
In a spirit of transparency we wanted to lay out the particulars for our end of year and monthly needs.
End of Year**
$3000 to repay advance for difference in rent (due to owner delays & cancelling planned income from housing Jan team overflow)
$3000 - 5000 or whatever comes in...to cover finishing house repairs & set up
**anything that comes in above & beyond these needs will be automatically applied to monthly support
Monthly support
Our bare bones monthly budget is $2500,
that roughly covers-
$800 rent
$800 food & water
$200 diesel
$250 health insurance
$250 travel savings
$200 household/misc
Like most of you, there is no "wiggle room" for us. Miraculously we have managed to get by for the past several months at a deficit of nearly $1000. It meant that Rebecca had to leave Haiti and work every other week in FL for the entire fall. While that worked for a short season, she cannot stay on staff with World Orphans and continue to keep up that schedule!
We need ministry partners to step in and provide that amount in order for us to remain on the field.
World Orphans has given us until April to show consistent full support or when we come stateside for Emma & Olivia's graduations, we will not be able to return unless we are at 100% again!
If you would like to provide a specifically designated gift these are a few "wished for" items:
- queen or king sized memory foam mattress cover
- 2 twin mattresses
- a simple faux-leather (vinyl) couch
- washing machine
- 2 deep cycle marine batteries
- Kindle or Nook "lendable" books
- granola/protein bars (sent in with team)
- nuts - almonds, cashews or pistachios
- diesel generator
- solar panel(s)
