Dear Friends and Family,


I am writing to you all to explain some things that are going on with me here at YWAM San Francisco. In February it will be two years since I have been on staff here in San Francisco and I couldn’t of asked for a better time here. There have been times where it has been a big struggle for me and I wanted to just give up and go home. But with the strength of the Lord I’ve been able to stick it out. 
As most of you may know, finances have been a big hardship for me. My monthly support started out very strong, but within four months of being on staff, I started seeing my monthly support go down hill. For the last nine months I have been living off of $250 in monthly support; which isn’t even enough to pay rent on base. Each month I had to prepare myself to talk to our base directors and tell them that I don’t have enough to pay rent. It wasn’t until about month and half ago that I had to sit down with them and tell them that money just hasn’t been coming through and I am behind in my rent. Right now I owe $200 in rent. 
I am in need of $1,500 in support to help me until I move back home at the end of February. This money will help me catch up on my bills (rent and laundry), pay for food, help with my flight back home for christmas and help with my move back home in February. 
If this is something you would like to give towards, you can write out a check out to YWAM San Francisco and send it to me (this is tax deductible). Or you can donate through my Paypal account, which you will find on my blog (address to my blog on the bottom of this page; not tax deductible). Please be praying that this money will come through. I don’t want to leave YWAM San Francisco owing them money. 
Thank You!
