Please Donate to the "Live My Life Now" Trek

If you believe in what I am doing here and you feel inspired to help me inspire others, please donate.  I have budgeted that I will need approximatelty $10,000 to do this trek, though I do not need all of it to get going.

Here is a new way you can help me out, and you will know exactly where your donated money will be going.  You can donate money specifically for gas, food, shoes, or cell phone minutes, and much more.  And, you can mix and match if you want too! It's up to you.  I am grateful for whichever you decide.  Thank you so much!

A Book For Isabel To Read
Isabel is 10, and she reads a lot.  She has been going through book after book, and is trying to pick ones with lots of pages so that it lasts a long time.  We take her to book stores so that she can read books there, and then pick it up where she left off the next time we go.  That's saved us a lot, but sometimes she wishes she could take a book on the road with her.  A small donation will buy her a book or two at used book stores.  When we are finished, we donate our books back for someone else to enjoy.  Thank you!

Cell Phone Minutes
I use Straight Talk.  It's $45/month for unlimited talk, text, and web browsing.  I like it because I don't need a contract, which is perfect for on the road. 
Coming up with $45 each month isn't easy though.  Thank you so much for helping!

A Motel Room
It might not seem like much, but a motel stay is like "going home" for us.  We get to shower, have a place to prepare healthy food, watch Discovery Channel, and get a good nights rest.  It's a place to call home, even just for one night.  Thank you so much!

A Sigh Of Relief
A donation of $100.00 allows us a sigh of relief because we will know that if anything comes up, we will have the funds to handle it.  In the past, donations of this amount have payed for an emergency vet visit, and emergency dr. visit for Isabel, a flat tire, and probably soon we will need to get our brakes checked.  This is a wonderful gift for us, and I thank you so much!

Easy Sponsorship
You or your company can easily sponsor the Live My Life Now Trek.  With a sponsorship, I will put banners on my site, blog about your company, and mention you in videos.  I can put banners on our support van, and mention your company/product at our meetups.  Thank you so much for your interest in sponsoring our trek!

Of course, you can donate whatever you want for whatever reason you want.  I've even had donations for $1.00, which filled our water jugs with filtered water at the fill up stations, so every bit helps!  Thank you so much!
