Support

Some of you may be wondering, "How much does it cost to go to Haiti on a mission trip?". Well, each trip is a little different in price, mainly because of airline tickets. The trips can range anywhere from $1000-$1500 a person. This amount includes travel expenses, food, lodging, transportation, interpretors and much more. Again, you may be asking, "How could Carrie afford this?".

When I was planning my first trip (originally in April 2008) I did not have a "grown-up" job. Therefore, I prayed that with enough support financially, I would be able to go. I sent out a letter to many of my friends and family asking for donations. I was overwhelmed with the amount of support and encouragement I received in response to my letter! Not only did I receive funds for my trip, but people also sent me cards and letters that were filled with love and well wishes. I was in awe at the amount of support I received. Because of such gracious and wonderful people, I was able to raise enough money for my trip!!! What is even more exciting is that I was able to use the money for my first AND second trip!! God is so good!

I realize I am so blessed to have such a wonderful support system, not only financially, but emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually as well! I know that all things are possible with God and those who believe in him. If it is God's will, then there is a way. I am so grateful to all of the people who have and continue to support me. I cannot list names individually because this post will never end. You all know who you are! Many thanks to all! With your support, you have helped me answer God's call on my life. THANK YOU!!!!
