Dear friends and family, and anyone else who may be reading this:

 

We are a missionary couple living in Brazil, working for a ministry that is rescuing kids from abuse, homelessness, prostitution and trafficking. We have fallen in love, dated, and gotten engaged here in the mission field, and now we are getting married and starting our new life here together as well! We have found a decent little apartment close to our ministry base and rescue home; it is affordable and a great place to start our married life together.

 

Please note that this fundraiser is not just to pay for our wedding (which will be modest and low-cost), but it is primarily for us to have all we need financially to start our life together here in the mission field!

 

Currently, we have the money we need to rent our apartment and pay for utilities for one year, but we need help filling our new apartment with all the necessities! Apartments here in Brazil tend to come completely bare, with neither stove, refrigerator, washing machine, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, nor bedroom storage of any kind, so this is all stuff we need to buy and we need a good amount of help! In addition to getting these big items, we also in need of all the other basics: kitchen, living room, and bedroom furniture, flatware, linens, and so on.

 

I live off of donor support, which is currently just enough to cover our monthly food expenses. Your help will make all the difference between us sitting on the floor and eating off of napkins and having a furnished  apartment that we can call home, our own restful retreat from the craziness of everyday life in the mission field.

 

If we exceed our fundraising goal, we would like to use the extra money to put towards the honeymoon, and everything above that will be savings for our future.

 

We humbly ask that any of our friends in the U.S. who want to celebrate with us by giving us a wedding gift, do so by donating to us here on this website!

 

Thank you so much for your love and support along the journey!

Queridos amigos e família, e todos que estiverem lendo isso:

 

Nós somos um casal missionário vivendo no Brasil, trabalhando para um ministério que está resgatando crianças de abuso, das ruas, prostituição e tráfico. Nós nos apaixonamos, namoramos e ficamos noivos aqui no campo missionário, e agora vamos casar e começar também uma nova vida juntos! Nós já encontramos um pequeno e decente apartamento próximo da base do ministério e da casa de resgate; é de preço acessível e um ótimo lugar para começarmos nossa vida de casados juntos. 

 

Por favor, note que esta arrecadação de fundos não é somente para pagar pelo nosso casamento (o qual será modesto e de baixo custo), mas é primordialmente para que tenhamos todas as finanças necessárias para começar a nossa vida juntos aqui no campo missionário!

 

Atualmente, nós temos o dinheiro que precisamos para alugar nosso apartamento e pagar as despesas de moradia por um ano, mas nós precisamos encher nosso novo apartamento com tudo que necessitamos! Apartamentos aqui no Brasil tendem a vir completamente vazios, sem fogão, geladeira, lavadora, armários de cozinha e banheiro, nem qualquer armário de quarto, e tudo isso é o que precisamos comprar e precisamos de uma boa quantidade de ajuda! Além de comprar esses grandes itens, nós também precisamos de todos outros básicos: de cozinha, sala-de-estar, e móveis de quarto, talheres, roupas de cama e assim por diante.

 

Eu vivo de doações, que atualmente são apenas o suficiente para cobrir nossas despesas mensais de alimentação. Sua ajuda nós fará toda diferença entre sentarmos no chão e comermos em guardanapos, e ter um apartamento mobiliado que podemos chamar de lar, nosso próprio lugar de retiro de descanso da loucura da vida diária no campo missionário.

 

Se nós excedermos no nosso objetivo de arrecadações, gostaríamos de utilizar o dinheiro extra na nossa lua-de-mel, e todo o resto acima que serão economias para nosso futuro.

 

Humildemente pedimos que quaisquer de nossos amigos que desejam celebrar conosco dando nos um presente de casamento, que o faça doando a nós aqui no website!

 

Muito obrigado pelo seu amor e apoio ao longo da jornada!
