When I came back from my precarious adventure on Mt. Kinsman (ask me!) yesterday, I found a check in my mail pile. My first donation! Yay! It was a surprise that my first contribution was from a fellow '06 graduate, but definitely cool that one of my friends believes in my dream as well. Between that and my savings, I have about $1600 currently. That is a quarter of what I need to make my January departure date, so please keep praying and considering helping me!
