Hi everyone,
Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to the fundraiser in many ways, including sharing it with others. That always makes such a big difference and is so much appreciated, so please feel free to share with anyone you think might want to participate in the act of community.
We're already up to $520 of the $700 goal! I'm always impressed by people's generosity, so thank you to everyone who has given a gift!
I've already sent $150 to the daycare in Magdalena, and they have their Christmas program tomorrow. The next $350, which we already have gifted, goes to the family of Zoe Ortiz. I'll send that along as soon as it clears the bank. Meanwhile, the final $200 will go to the church.
I'll include more updates as they come!
In the meantime, please consider if you know anyone who might want to make a small monthly donation to the Ortiz family, to support the constant care of Zoe.
Thank you all again very much, and I hope you feel like you are a part of the communal experience of giving and receiving.

NOTE: You are not required to tip GoFundMe. GoFundMe defaults to adding a 15% tip during donation payment. This is optional, and on top of the 2.9%+$0.30 of your donation that they already charge. You don’t have to tip anything, and you can change this tip to $0 by dragging the slider on the page all the way to the left.
NOTE: Using GoFundMe saves me time and energy that I can then give to principle activities. GoFundMe provides behind the scenes organization that I would have to do myself if everyone donated individually, taking my time and effort away from my principle activities. Please consider the GoFundMe fee a replacement for paying someone to manage the fundraiser.
NOTE: You can make a free transfer outside of GoFundMe. If you have PayPal (jeromeekiley@gmail.com) or Venmo (@Jerome-Kiley-1) in the US, these methods are free transfers. You can send me a personal gift, and I will add your anonymous gift to the GoFundMe’s fundraiser list of donations. However, you won’t receive the updates I post on GoFundMe.
Thank you for considering us!

Greetings again from Ecuador. This will be the final update. Thanks so much to everyone who has given so far - we are still at $1109, only $91 short of the goal. All the money has been shared, and there’s a little extra for new needs on the horizon, and I’ll leave the fundraiser open with the possibility of sharing it more widely later.

Greetings again from Ecuador. Thanks so much to everyone who has given so far, we are at $1109, only $91 short of the goal! Again, I’m always humbled and grateful.… I’ve shared the $500 with Zoe’s family and the $300 with the Ruiz family who lost their home to fire. And new needs are on the horizon…
