CharitiesAs you may, or may not know, WifeofBH666 recently lost her job. Unfortunately, Beachhead666 lost his job several months before her, leaving them, and their daughter, without work at all.

Under normal circumstances, you might expect them to ask for assistance for themselves, but they are not. WifeofBH666 previously committed to going to a Mexican Outreach program through her church while she was still employed, as she could have afforded to pay to get there and back. Now that she is not working, she is asking for assistance to complete her own charitable obligations. So if we help her, we help others.

This is about helping a community in a country that can’t even afford to feed its own people. I’ve spent so much time in Mexico, and know how hard it is living on a $5 a DAY minimum wage.

Mexico – Next trip: December 26 – January 2 (sign-up by October 1, cost is $450 per individual)
Over the past 10 years, we have sent over 800 people on short term mission trips. We were able to put up soccer goals, basketball hoops, swing sets, perform skits/dramas, offer children’s programs, support Pastor Juan, and mostly bring hope to the community.

UPDATE: We are about $100.00 from meeting our goal of $400.00! You guys are awesome. If anyone is interested in buying a MoC 25th and up collection from Viper6, he has offered to donate the last $100 needed! See inside for details.
