Habitat for Humanity

This July myself and 9 others from my high school are traveling to Waterloo, Iowa to help build a house with Habitat for Humanity.

In order to travel we obviously need to raise money. $200 to be exact. This will cover gas, food, housing, and other expenses we encounter along the trip.

I am reaching out to the NIC to help sponsor me on this trip to Iowa. I don't care if you can only give $1 or you decide to give me all $200, everything will help me reach the goal.

One of the chaperones, Mrs. Braier, created a sponsorship sheet to show to people, and since I can't send everyone here a copy I just scanned it in, so you can read what she wrote. I blanked out her phone number, but if you want to talk to her I can arrange it.



In order to donate I will just use my paypal account, and if you don't have paypal pm me, and I can send you my address to send money or checks too.
If you want me to mention your name in this post for a donation write a note in the paypal message.
I will close this thread on May 1.

* I have reached my goal of $200, and far beyond thanks to everyone who helped. Any donations received after March 14 will be donated directly to habitat during the trip in July.

FAQ

Are the donations Tax Deductible?

-Yes they are, and I can get receipts for those who need them.

What is the Official Club/Organization at the high School, so I can donate to a recognized charity?

-I know checks, if you write them, are made out to South Milwaukee High School. Since the funds are being used for our travel exspenses it is not an official charity.

If for any reason you want to learn more about my trip or habitat for humanity just ask, so I can find more information for you.

One final note. If someone goes above and beyond in their donation, I will make sure they benefit from their generosity.

Good to know the Internet hasn't changed

Louie- This is a great thing you're doing, you have my respect and prayers. I do think, however, that going to IN is a bit unnecessary- there's plenty of places locally that need the help just as much (chicago- nuff said) while redirecting funds from gas to...you know...helping people. I hope your school will consider that on its next trip.

The only reason for Iowa is that the Habitat Team from my school has always gone there since they started up.

Good to see you again louie. I'm glad that you had enough time left over after necro-ing a thread with a link to Nrev to hit us up for money too. We should do these little visits more often.

On topic, I encourage everyone to donate to Habitat for Humanity and to volunteer in your local community.

Agreed Langley, Habitat for Humanity is a great way to reach out to your community and do some good .
