Progress

My progress this semester has been slower than I had hoped. College applications are taking their toll! This past week however, I have really started to move things forward.

I had the idea of putting money jars at the check-in and check-out of several stores. A very close family friend of ours works at Capital Care Pediatrics and has gotten permission from her boss to help me place containers there! I will be making business cards with the link to my blog, a description of who it would help and how each dollar would be utilized, as well as the link to the Engeye clinic website: ( http://www.engeye.org/engeye-maternity-center/ )

She also helped me to brainstorm several other ideas about places that may be open and willing to help me fundraise, which includes several other maternal care offices, or stores that are typically geared towards supporting small villages elsewhere in the world. I will be working to solidify this over winter break by going into the stores physically and preaching my case. I am hoping to have good results!

However, these methods of fundraising are helpful but not completely effective when attempting to raise large amounts. I met with someone who works in the business office at my school named Joe Hefta, and he helped me gather ideas and potential sponsors. I am excited to work with him further in my endeavors to help raise money for the clinic!
