Friday Funding Update:
February 17, 2017


There wasn't much change in our total this week, but every donation (no matter how large or small) is helping us reach our goal of $60,000! And, each week that passes, means that we are getting one day closer to starting construction and improving Josiah's life for the better! Our current total is $45,701.17!

I have had several people ask recently how they can make a donation. Since it has been a while, I thought I would review exactly how to do this.

Our church has graciously agreed to set up an account to manage this fundraiser for us. By giving through Beacon, donations can be tax deductible. To give, you can mail a check addressed to Beacon Baptist Church. Please write "Josiah Verroi Fund" in the memo line, and mail the check to: 
Beacon Baptist Church 
1622 Kirkpatrick Road
Burlington, North Carolina 27215

You can also give online by visiting our church website: http://www.beaconbaptist.com/donate/
When you give online, select "Verroi Fundraiser" under the "Designation" tab. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at christyverroi@gmail.com.

We would so appreciate it if you would pray for our family! Our daughter Olivia has come down with the flu. We are praying this illness does not work its way through the entire family. Poor Josiah's self-injury has been ramping up again the past few days. This is often an indication that he isn't feeling well. This can tail spin very quickly into prolonged periods of self-injury and aggression. Please pray this will not be the case. 

Lastly, I want to inform you of the fundraiser we currently have going with my dear friend Stefanie. You can read all about our connection and her fundraiser here. If you would like to get some fabulous Mary Kay make-up and support Josiah at the same time, you should visit her facebook fundraiser page to get the scoop on how to give:  https://www.facebook.com/events/647839212069681/. If you have any questions, you can contact Stefanie at stefnance2@gmail.com. She is donating 100% of her profits to support Josiah! We love you, Stef! Thanks for all the years of love and support! 

We are still working on the final details for our pool party fundraiser. We can't wait to share all the details with you very soon! If anyone would like to host their own independent fundraiser for Josiah, we would be thrilled! God has used these fundraisers to bring in A LOT of money to help us reach our goal! 

One of the best ways for us to reach our goal is for people to share our story with others. Would you be willing to tell someone about Josiah and his needs this week? We also have flyers that can be shared as well. Just send me an email (christyverroi@gmail.com), and I can send you a link to print a flyer yourself or I can mail you several flyers that we have already printed. 

God has a perfect timing for all of this to come together for Josiah. It has been a privilege to have a front row seat to all He has done through those who have given thus far. Please consider joining us in our efforts to bring positive change and a better quality of life to Josiah. We are forever grateful to you for helping!

Because of His grace,

Christy
