Discouraged?

Update posted by Sarah Bradbury

Someone asked me over the weekend if I find it discouraging that I'm not raising the funds as quickly as they seem to believe I should be. My answer was a simple "no". I don't have many friends (I choose to have fewer proper friends than hundreds of acquaintances" and like myself, most of my friends work hard but struggle most months to make the ends meet, so while you (me, everyone) is encouraged to actively share our fund raising pages and efforts on our social media pages, those of us without thousands of friends who could help, or will share, are obviously going to struggle more than others. That's where we have to adapt to our situation and find other ways to get our pages out there. I have blogs - several of them.

Now, while they are relatively new and therefore not getting as much as attention as someone whose been blogging for a while, they are starting to get picked up more and last week a couple of them were shared, which means more people will be reading them. All it takes is just one person, hence why I could never be discouraged. So far I have been blessed with 3 people making a donation (I am so grateful to them). Tomorrow I could be blessed with 300.

There is no time limit when it comes to other people's kindness and generosity. It will take as long as it takes.
