From Don & Patti
Thank you.
None of this was ours to do alone, and we have never pretended it was.
We have never taken a single gift for granted.
Every trip on this website happened because somebody decided that a village they will never visit, and a family they will never meet, mattered enough to give toward. A well got drilled because of that. A clinic opened because of that. A Bible ended up in somebody's hands because of that.
We know what it costs you. We know some of you gave when it was not easy, and some of you have been giving quietly for years without ever asking for a word of thanks. We see it. We thank God for you by name.
If you have given, prayed, packed a trunk, or carried one — this page is yours.
— Don & Patti Nichols

This page is for all of you
Support has never come in only one form.
Gave financially
One-time gifts and monthly support that put airfare, medicine, and Bibles on the ground.
Prayed
The support that never shows up on a receipt and matters more than the ones that do.
Packed and carried
Trunks labeled, inventoried, weighed, and hauled through customs by people who volunteered a whole day for it.
Sent supplies
Reading glasses, hygiene items, medicine, and Bibles donated by churches, businesses, and families.
Notes from Don & Patti
Thank-you notes they write themselves, to the people who gave.
Don and Patti are writing their first notes now.
They post them here themselves — no ghostwriting, no form letters.
If you have not given, there is still a trip to send.
Belize is next. Nothing about it is funded by anyone but people who decide to.
