I'm over it. I'm over begging for money. I'm over the long days and sleepless nights of trying to figure out where the hell this money is going to come from. You want a successful non profit? Be someone rich and famous who starts one or know someone rich and famous who is willing and able to part with SOME of their money. Not even asking for millions here people. 100 grand.
The more I toss and turn at night the more I worry that Ty is going to think he should give us the money to reach our goal but in reality - if we can't reach our goal then we are done. Sure, we can give away loans with what money we have collected but we certainly are not going to ever be able to venture into a different part of the world b.c the money raised for Haiti stays in Haiti. And I honestly can't take the idea of trying to raise another 100 grand for another location. This sucks. This blows. It's a lot of energy and tears for nothing.
And another thing - here Alisha spent so much time and energy and sacrifice to put on a group trip to take people down to see what we are doing. The timing was awful for us, I could only stay for the weekend and left her to deal with everything on her own - and you know what? Not a penny from them. Not a damn penny. Now my optimistic side is hoping they surprise us with a huge donation they have been secretly collecting but the real me wonders if this is really going to happen.
I need one big company to take on Open Hand as their charity. Just one and I can run with all that we have planned and we can impact thousands of lives forever. I'm ready to give out what we do have and wash my hands of this whole thing.
