Almost There

Come close readers, for I am about to tell you something very exciting. 
Closer....
closer....
As of 10:12 am, on this the 27th of February, 2014 my EDventure tuition is PAID IN FULL!!!!!! 

With the help of friends, family, and friends of family, we have raised a total of $3,100 toward my trip to Cambodia this May. Looking at how far not only I, but we, have come since October I am truly amazed. Honestly, there's no way that I could have done it without the generous support of every one of you, and I am so grateful to each individual, family, and company that has helped me along this process so far. 

Also, this past weekend I found- through EDventure- a greatly reduced travel insurance policy designed specifically for international volunteers. If you plan on traveling abroad to volunteer sometime soon, you can check them out here:  Volunteer Card

Do you know what this means? Do you? It means that now, only the cost of a flight (currently $1,400) and give or take 67 days, 11 hours, 50 minutes and one tearful goodbye from my mother remain between me and Cambodia. Between me and smiling faces and new adventures. 

Now more than ever, I want to thank all of you for your dedication to this cause, and urge you to help me continue to network and find that remaining $1,400, because as stated in this post's title, we are almost there!
