Dear ______________________,
This ____________ (month you are going) I'm taking a trip with an organization called New Life for Haiti. I'll be traveling to Haiti with a group to help with some important projects and missions work. New Life for Haiti is a wonderful organization. More than a decade ago they adopted one of Haiti's poorest and most remote areas, and started building schools, feeding children, doing medical clinics. As you may know, Haiti is the poorest country in our half of the world. While I am there, I will be helping to __________________________________________ (describe what your team will be doing...).
You can learn anything you want about New Life for Haiti at their WEBSITE.
I'm sending you this note to ask if you would support me in this adventure. The cost of the trip is $1800. That includes all airfare, food, ground travel, lodging, etc. It's very reasonable for a trip like this, but still more than I can afford. I really believe I can make a difference in the lives of the children in this poor area by doing this trip, and also know it will be good for me in many ways. If you could help me accomplish this, I would appreciate it more than words can say!
Supporting me is easy... I have a personal fundraising page on the New LIfe for Haiti website, and you can simply go there and donate directly to my trip online (and yes, your donation is tax deductible).
Here is the link to my page: __________________________ (paste in your link or highlight text in your email and insert the link).
Once you support me, I will be able to see that, which is awesome, because I will be able to thank you and also share about my trip with you! Please pray for me also on this trip, that my group will be fruitful and that I will learn and grow from the whole experience in great ways.
Thank you so much--
