What can $10 get you nowadays? A dateless dinner at an average restaurant. 2 cups of Starbucks coffee. 3 gallons of gas (that will get you approximately 60 miles). Or a year of satisfaction knowing you are giving up one of the aforementioned options and sponsoring a missionary.
I leave for Lima, Peru in about 112 days. I will be gone for 14 months minimum and will be living out a life of compassion and love. Heart's Home is a Catholic organization that was established to provide those 2 things to those most in need, especially the children. I have answered God's call for me to serve with them and I couldn't be more excited. Part of this mission is to find others willing to sponsor me and partake in this mission of compassion with me. It costs $650 a month to be a missionary with Heart's Home. That includes travel, room, board, 100% health insurance coverage, and training. To date, I have raised $5295 and $3805 is left to raise.
If 28 people were willing to sacrifice one dinner out or 2 cups of coffee every month, and put it towards sponsorship I would reach the amount necessary to support me while serving. The benefits of sponsorship are many. Materially, sponsors get an update every other month while I am serving in Peru. I have already been praying for my sponsors for months and will continue to do so. Any prayer intentions can be sent to me to take before the Blessed Sacrament every day. Also, those that I will be serving are the ones who are not aware of the amount of love they are entitled to as human beings. That is my main job. I won't be teaching or providing health care per-say. I will be loving people and be their friend.
I ask you to consider sponsoring me and being a part of this mission of compassion and bringing love to the world. If financial sponsorship is not possible, spiritual sponsorship is also an option. For this just fill out the appropriate sections on the sponsorship form which can be reached via the second link below.
Thank you. Feel free to contact me with any questions about my mission or Heart's Home.
La Paz de Cristo,
