WILL STARVE FOR FOOD

I bet you're scratching your head. But you will stop once I explain the meaning of that sentence. The 30 Hour Famine is coming up really soon.

What is the 30 Hour Famine, you ask?
The 30 Hour Famine is an international youth movement to fight hunger. Students typically fast for 30 hours to spread awareness and raise funds to help provide food and care for children worldwide, including here in the US.
The 30 Hour Famine is sponsored by World Vision, which is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.
For more info, visit www.worldvision.org.

Why am I telling you this? Because I need your help!!
Every $30 raised helps provide food and care for a child for a month (worldwide average).
I have set up a fundraising website for myself, so if you would like to help me out and donate to a worthy cause (tax-deductible), visit my website (copy & paste the link in a new browser) http://www.30hourfamine.org/portal/onlinegiving/donate/47608640-002

If you would rather mail me the donation, send me an email from here and I will give you my address (if you need it).

Our church has set a goal of raising $7000 collectively, and we can't do it without you!!
Please consider giving to this great cause and help fight world hunger.
