Next Tuesday, May 5th, nonprofits around the world are participating in #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of charity organized as an emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While we have been blessed beyond belief by the outpouring of support throughout our successful "Home Is Where Our Heart Is" campaign, we know we will not be immune to the reduction in resources that so many are experiencing right now.
Steady, recurring monthly income will be more important than ever for us during this time, in order to ensure that we can continue to work here in Guatemala, especially as the ability of mission teams to come and serve in person may continue to be limited due to safety concerns and travel restrictions.
At the same time, we know that many of you are also being impacted financially by this pandemic, and will need to be more discerning than ever about where your resources go. Because of this, on #GivingTuesdayNow, our goal will not be to raise a huge amount of money in a single day.
Instead, we'll simply be asking you to join us and say "¡Cuenta Conmigo!" (Count On Me!), through your support of Mission Guatemala with a recurring monthly gift. With your recurring gift of ANY amount, you will make a huge impact and help Mission Guatemala weather this storm.
By ensuring that we can count on you and your support, you will help Mission Guatemala have the resources necessary for us to continue to serve and support the communities and families who count on us here in Guatemala.
And we'll also be giving back to you—For anyone who signs up to make a recurring gift, we'll send you a t-shirt specially designed for our "¡Cuenta Conmigo!" recurring monthly supporters.
IMPORTANT NOTE—Next Tuesday, our staff will be broadcasting throughout the day on Facebook Live from Guatemala, giving you a chance to see some of the work we're doing right now to help our community here. Please "like" our page, and set a reminder to participate!
Recurring donors can be the lifeblood of our work during this unprecedented time. Can we count on you?
Doing all the good we can together,
Dave & Leigh
