Greetings from the Monkey Brain! I received the link to my fundraising site today, which means I can start the arduous task of begging for funds. This is the uncomfortable part for me, because I could not possibly go on these trips without the financial support of others, but I abhor asking people for money. I believe, with all of my heart, that this is a worthwhile cause. As you've read in my earlier posts, I couldn't have put more of my heart and soul into my last trip if I tried, and I am eternally beholden to everyone who has made even the smallest donation. And yet...I still squirm at the thought of asking for more funds. If I really want to take a moment on the psychiatrists couch, it's probably because I don't think I warrant such generosity from others and that I should, somehow, be able to come up with the funds on my own. Well, the stark reality is that I am not a gazillionaire, I don't play the lottery, and I have a career that I love...but it's not the highest paying job out there. So, let the begging commence! :) Please consider making a donation so that my skills and knowledge can continue to benefit others. No donation is too small! Much Love and Gratitude...ox
