Thank you!

Just wanted to take a moment to say a special thank you to Carrie, Steve & Melinda, Dave & Alli, and Auntwanette - your generous donations have helped raise the first 20% needed towards my trip! I'm so blessed and excited to have each of you be a part of this and appreciate your encouragement so much.

For those who have been asking what the $2000.00 I am required to raise goes towards, the donation you send directly to AIM in my name cover all the costs I will have once the trip begins. This includes my food, lodging, and air, land & sea travel (the biggest portion goes toward my plane ticket to Haiti). It also covers administrative costs, setup costs, debrief costs, and the 48-hour training I will have at the start of the trip.

It does not include travel to/from Atlanta (our launch point - we fly out and return from Haiti as a team from AIM's headquarters), medical insurance, vaccinations, and my gear.If anyone would like to contribute towards these additional costs please contact me directly at mdpiche@gmail.com. Or, if anyone in the San Diego area and has any of the gear I'm going to need that I could borrow that would also be greatly appreciated!!!
