My Travel Story

For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of traveling to Africa to teach, speak, and serve. This mission trip to Tanzania from April 28th – May 28th is not only the fulfillment of a lifelong goal but also an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of women and children in need.

I have been incredibly blessed to live a life with access to education, health care, nutritious meals, and support from family and friends, all of which have shaped my journey. Yet, I recognize that many in Tanzania do not share these opportunities. That realization has driven me to give back in a truly meaningful way. 

During my time in Tanzania, I will provide childcare and teach women’s empowerment courses, equipping women with the tools to gain independence, stability, and confidence. At the same time, I want to ensure their children receive not just care and attention but also nutritious meals—something many of them go without. Most children in the communities I will serve receive only one meal a day, often just porridge or dough, with little access to fruits and vegetables.
Through this mission trip to Tanzania, I have the opportunity to pour into women and children who need support, encouragement, and resources to build a better future. By providing child care and empowerment education, I hope to uplift women striving for independence and stability while ensuring that their children receive the love and care they deserve.

I have personally covered the cost of my trip, as I believe this mission is one that God has called me to fulfill. However, I am reaching out to those who would like to support my efforts by helping provide essential supplies. Your contributions will go directly toward food, toiletries, and other necessities for the families I will be serving. I also hope to host a special dinner—a tradition among some volunteers—to bring joy and nourishment to families who rarely have the chance to share a full meal together.

Every donation, no matter how small, goes directly toward making a tangible difference in the lives of these individuals. Your generosity will help deliver not only essential supplies, but also dignity, hope, and love to those in need.
If you feel moved to give, know that your generosity is making a real and lasting difference. Thank you for believing in this mission and for joining me on this journey.
