With just about 30 days left until our departure, we're super excited about the journey to come. And thanks to all of YOUR help, we're more than halfway to our fuel fund goal! Infinite thanks to everyone who's contributed thus far in ways we would have never expected. This Crusade of ours has opened our eyes to the amazing network and family of people that have always been supporting us from behind the scenes. It's been such a sobering experience for both of us and we really feel the weight of responsibility before us to contribute to the communities we visit in a way that will be both meaningful for the communities as well as for all you Crusaders.
It's never too late to help! We'll be accepting donations up until departure and throughout our trip. Just check out our Crusaders page for the link! If you want to help in other ways, we are also accepting item donations to give to two organizations we'll be working with during our trip. Clean the World is a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing deaths from hygiene-related illnesses around the world. Thus, we are accepting NEW bars of soap to be donated to their cause. Cradles to Crayons is a Massachusetts-based organization committed to providing children (from birth to age 12) from poor or low-income households with the necessities they need to thrive at home, school, or play. Thus, for C2C, we are accepting NEW and GENTLY USED toys/items for children. Here are the specific DONATION GUIDELINES from C2C. We well be doing item pick-ups in and around Aliso Viejo and the Diamond Bar/Pomona areas. Erika is also accepting donations in and around Monterey.
Additionally, we're still on the lodging lookout for places to stay in: Colorado, Missouri, Boston (MA), Orlando (FL), New Orleans (LA), Texas, and New Mexico, so if anyone would like to kindly open up their floor/couch/home to us or has any leads on inexpensive places to stay in those areas, we'd really appreciate it!
