Thank you for wanting to learn more about my fundraising campaign! I'm Allison Spruill, the Minister of Discipleship at Canton Central United Methodist Church. Last summer I visited Honduras with Carolina Cross Connection and two of our church youth members to serve in orphanages there for a week. I didn't realize how much that trip would affect me. I fell in love with the children and the city that is considered "the most violent place in the world."

We spent several days serving at the public orphanage where 100 children, from birth - 13 years old and some older special needs children, spend their lives behind high walls topped with barbed wire and bars on their windows like a prison. We simply played games, pushing them on swings, sliding down slides, rolling marbles, and holding babies. We learned their names and some of their stories. I befriended a 9-year old boy on our final day there, and we were both in tears when it was time to leave. I need to return to see him and the other children again, to let them know they are loved and not forgotten.

My goal is to raise $1200.00 in 45 days. Every dollar helps! All donations go towards the cost of the trip, whether or not the goal is met. Any money raised above the requested goal will be used to purchase needed supplies for these children: diapers, wipes, formula, shoes, clothing, etc. Your donations are tax-deductible. You'll receive a statement from Central United Methodist Church in Canton, NC.

If you cannot donate at this time, please share with your friends so others may learn of this cause. I appreciate your generous support!

Blessings,

Allison
