Dear Friends and Supporters,

I am reaching out to you with great excitement as I embark on a transformative pilgrimage to Poland, guided by the insightful Mike Scherschligt. This journey will lead us through the sacred paths of Saint John Paul II, Saint Faustina, and Saint Maximilian Kolbe.

The Pilgrimage:
This pilgrimage holds great significance for me as it's not just a physical journey but a soulful exploration of my deep love for God and my yearning to be closer to Him. Poland, with its rich Catholic heritage, beckons me to immerse myself in the spirituality and history that has shaped our faith.

Why Poland?:
Poland is a sacred land where saints walked and miracles occurred. From the majestic Jasna Góra Monastery to the divine Wadowice, the birthplace of Saint John Paul II, this pilgrimage will offer me a unique opportunity to connect with my Catholic roots and deepen my understanding of the profound love that God has for each one of us.

My Story:
As a devoted single mom, my life is a beautiful tapestry woven with the threads of faith and love. This pilgrimage is not just a personal quest but an endeavor to grow closer to my faith, to find solace, strength, and guidance as I navigate the responsibilities of parenthood.

Why I Need Your Support:
Embarking on this pilgrimage requires financial resources that I am seeking with humility and gratitude. Your support will contribute to travel expenses, accommodation, and other associated costs. I believe that this journey will not only enrich my spiritual life but will also empower me to be a better mother and a beacon of faith for my family.

Closing:
