To
My Friends and Family:
Since
October of 2014, I began working part-time for Springtime House in Romania, a
non-profit charity which exists to rescue Romanian orphans and widows from poverty
and abandonment to combat human trafficking at its source. Being their first
American employee, the ministry is indeed quite small in size yet large in
vision. I have been amazingly blessed by Rick and Sandy Scott, the President
and Secretary of the ministry respectively, as I have worked through their home
office to keep their paper work, spreadsheets, presentations, website, social
media, and correspondence in order for them.
In
July 2014, they gave me the opportunity to meet the families and care homes
that I have been working to benefit throughout the past year. It was an
incredible experience talking with these guardians face-to-face after months of
emails, and the children’s smiles were priceless when I addressed them by name
at first sight, knowing them from their bios and photos that I have read and
organized. As we have grown as a ministry, we’ve also grown in need for more
mission teams to go into Romania in 2015. Rick has challenged me to be
the leader of one of three mission teams to go this summer. This will require
me to take charge of 10-12 individuals ready to offer their “hearts” and
“hammers” to our Springtime House care homes. It also requires me to raise my
own support to travel into the country for the week of July 3 – July 12.
First of all,
please pray for these families we will be serving, for my health and
effectiveness as a team leader, and for the many details of this trip including
safe international travel. Second, please consider supporting me financially
for this outreach opportunity. The inclusive cost for the trip is $2500.00. A donation of any amount would go a long way
in helping me pay my expenses.
I
believe in working hard for donations to make my community stronger both here
in Houston as well as in Romania. With the holidays coming up, you may have a
‘disaster area’ in your home that needs to be organized, errands to run, or any
other need you don’t have time to meet. Therefore, I am willing and able to
complete any need of chores, cleaning, baby-sitting, pet-sitting, etc. for a
donation. Please contact me at caitlinfuess@springtimehouse.com to arrange a time for me to help you out from now until July. You
may donate based on what you feel is due for the job completed. All checks will
be made out to Springtime House in Romania – USA, Inc. with a note in
the memo saying it’s for Caitlin Fuess’ Mission Trip 2015. It can be
given to me or mailed directly to P.O. Box 17912 Sugar Land, TX 77496. Any
surplus amount I receive beyond my $2500 goal will be donated straight into the
Springtime House donations account going straight into the care homes we
minister to. These donations will be tax deductible as well as a blessing of
relief to you in clearing your holiday to do list and beyond into the summer.
I
hope that you would consider being a part of the Springtime House Team in
supporting my trip. The MOST you could do for us is pray for every detail to be
in God’s will. I am planning to revamp my blog in order to connect with my supporters with stories from this past year's trip as well as the process of preparing for this year's trip. Thank you and Multemesc!
Still Growing,
