Thank you to all who have given to help make this trip to Italy possible. We are now two weeks away from departure and have raised 91% of our budget. We’ve come a long way in a short time!
In addition to fund raising, we’ve been gathering supplies. Our international driving permits arrived in the mail last week, and suitcases are beginning to fill. There’s no time like the present to review the most current regulations on what can and cannot be carried on a plane. Planning to order Euros from our bank tomorrow. Praise the Lord for a great exchange rate!
We ordered five Chromebooks that were requested for the school’s computer lab. They are scheduled to arrive this week. These will replace hand-me-down laptops that are beyond due for upgrade.
We ordered some of the medical supplies needed for Isaac. Since insurance will not approve any extra in advance, this stretches our original budget very thin where we had hoped to have more to pass on to our hosts. We know the Lord will provide. We requested Isaac’s endocrinologist send one-time prescriptions for Omnipod 5 and insulin needed. Still waiting on confirmation before we can pick those up. Prayers appreciated in that direction.
Thanks again for your gifts and prayer support. We could not do this without you!
