FINAL UPDATE: You did it!! You raised the final amount for the first phase of the community center – $40,000!!! That will pay for kitchen and bathroom facilities, classrooms and meeting space! A-Ma-Zing. Speechless gratitude!
UPDATE: Sunday 10pm: It’s astounding what we can do when we do it together. As of Thursday we’ve now raised $6,379. That’s 255 people giving $25 each.
We’re SO CLOSE. Just 206 more people each donating $25 each and it’s done. The first half of the Maubane Community Center is built. We can do it. We can. Click here to join us in raising the last $5,000.
UPDATE: Friday 9pm: You guys! We’ve raised $3,765 in the last 24 hours! That’s 150 people who each gave $25! We’re a third of the way there. We can do this. We just need 311 more mamas/grandmas/teens/aunts/girlfriends/dads/BFFs to chip in $25 each and we’re gonna do this!
We’ve raised $32,000. Click here to join us in raising the last $7,000 for the community kitchen and welcome center.
You guys – it’s official, this blog community has so adopted a South African community.
These are our people. And we are so theirs. Just over 400 orphans, vulnerable kids and the grown ups who love on them live in Maubane, South Africa.
We’re so all in.
Tuesday you saw the Photos from the {No such thing as “Just a mom”} Laundry Center and Veggie Garden you funded in the small hamlet of Maubane, South Africa!
So now we’re only $11,526 away from funding the first half of their community center. You can read all about that building and why they need it over here.
TODAY I AM LOOKING FOR 461 OF YOU TO HELP 461 OF THEM.
Yup, it’s buddy system day.
$25 each from 461 people makes the first half of the community center building possible. The cafeteria half. The bathrooms half. The conference rooms half. The kitchen half.
I have the blueprint hanging on my office wall – it’s my favorite – right there in the middle of all my other reminders of what love in action looks like:
I spent $25 last night at Burger King for dinner for my kiddos because mama don’t love to cook. It was wolfed down in minutes. This $25 will last a bricks and mortar lifetime.
So can you do this with me?
ONLY 461 PEOPLE GIVING $25 EACH = $11,526
WE NEED 461 PEOPLE.
Who’s in with me?

(Or more if you’d like)

Have you ever considered about including a little
bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything.
But think of if you added some great images or videos to
give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent
but with pics and videos, this site could certainly
be one of the best in its niche. Excellent blog!
Hi Lisa, I have tried to donate twice but it keeps rejecting me! Is there an alternative way to give? Blessings!
