A note from Jess's mom

"Hi everyone this is Momma J (Jess' mom). God Bless Each and Every One of You!! Words can not describe how proud I am of all of you and amazed at how you have all come together to help Jessica. You ALL are and stand for what the true meaning of what friendship is and each and every one of you is a gift. I can not tell you how difficult the past two years have been for us but I can tell you that no matter how hard things seem to get you must keep the faith. I hope to some day thank each and every one of you in person for all your support and friendship to my daughter. You all are welcome in our home and we are here for you too! No matter what form of donation you give we are thankful for everything. I love you ALL! - Jill"

A note of encouragement from Jess's mom:D

There is definite sense of urgency involved here

Okay, to be straightforward I don't think that everyone is understanding the urgency of this.
I could be wrong, so forgive me if I am, but Jess Ward IS NOT COMING TO CAMP if we don't get this money ($1895), and ON TIME (to Lia by Apr. 10th).

We need to know we have enough money before we send it to Lia because if there is not enough, Bob won't want a check and Lia won't want to have to shred, or return all of our checks.

PLEASE post how much you can donate ASAP. If there is not enough in voluntary donations, other means must be considered, even though I don't know what they would be...

If you have questions call me (585) 703-4757, e-mail me nforte725@gmail.com, or facebook me.

Alright, We need $1,895

THIS IS WHERE YOU POST HOW MUCH YOU CAN GIVE

We need $1,895.
We have 22 kids, so 1,895 divided by 22=$86 per person.
This is obviously not gonna happen, but I believe that if everyone can give what they have that we will not only reach our goal, but also bring a ton of encouragement to Jess and have quite a story to tell about how we all worked together to pay for Jess's summer at camp.

There is no doubt that she is worth every penny and more. Lets give financially spiritually, emotionally, and whatever-ly. Haha

A Blessing For the Donations
Father God, I pray that the money that we are able to scrounge up would be used for your purposes which we understand as having Jess at camp, and we give humbly, and sacrificially so that in turn Jess would be able to serve you better and be a stronger follower of you, after her time in LDP. We bless this offering of faith and trust that You will be faithful in helping us reach our goal of $1895. We thank you ahead of time for preparing the way for us to give into Jess's future and thank you for giving us such a strong, united, sacrificial, and generous group of kids, like we are.
Amen.

Time to take action

Soo I figure it's about time that we take action and start doing things RE: the Jess Ward Fund.

Our current idea is that all checks will be mailed to Lia, with her as the recipient. She will create a checking account specifically for all the checks designated towards Jess's fund. When all the money is accounted for, she will write Bob a check for $1,895(or whatever the exact amount was) and hand deliver it.

We figured this might work best because, she can hand deliver it, all the checks can be combined into one (through the opening of a checking account, and writing of one check at the end), and well those are the only reasons we have.

Any other ideas are welcome, until then this is the plan.

LIA'S ADDRESS IS :
10 STONEHENGE ROADWOLFEBORO NH 03894

Send your checks to her so that she can have them by April 10th. That's soon!

Are we all here?

Hey everyone,
I just made this, and if you missed it on the thread it's a way for us, (LDPs) to list the amount of money that we are able to donate to the Jess Ward Fund. PLEASE when listing amounts of money, post anonymously, but if you have encouragement, ideas, or announcements, use your name.

Can everyone comment and just say your name so I know that everyone is here, and everyone understands the functionality of this and it's purpose?
Thanks,
Nateee
