Dear Family, Friends, and Colleagues,

I’m excited to share some important news. I’ve been given the opportunity to travel to Kenya to volunteer with Crossing Thresholds, an extraordinary nonprofit that builds schools and helps some of the world’s poorest children get the education they need to break the cycle of poverty.

I’ll be working in Kibera, Africa’s largest slum, where hundreds of thousands live with limited access to basic necessities like clean water, healthcare, and, especially, education. I’ll be supporting teachers and working directly with students, contributing hands-on to help make a difference.

Ok, here’s the ask: I’m hoping to raise $2,650 to cover travel costs. It’s a modest investment considering the return: enabling very poor kids to get the education they’ll need to build a brighter future.

If you’re able to contribute, I would be deeply grateful. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a real difference, and all donations are tax-deductible.

You can donate:

• Online via the link or QR code

• Venmo: @CrossingThresholds-Inc (please include my name in the note)

• By check: Crossing Thresholds, Inc., PO Box 446, New Canaan, CT 06840 (please include my name in the memo)

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support helps open doors for children in Kenya and makes this experience possible.

With gratitude and excitement,
Trevor Lawrence
