Today my application to join an organization to assist in earthquake relief in Pakistan was officially accepted. i mailed my visa application, and bought travellers health insurance. This is really happening! I’m going to leave on November 28th, which is coming up fast!

But i can’t do this alone. Sarah and i both need the loving support of our community of friends and family. We need your prayers. i am also accepting financial contributions, since no funding is provided. A round trip ticket costs about $2000, which is my primary expense. Please consider this unique way to contribute to the relief effort. $500, $50, or $5 — any amount will help get me there! You can send me; i will be your delegate to the muslims of the mountains that the quake left homeless. Let’s do this together!

Encouraging messages and PayPal donations can be sent to brooke <at> wantmorelife <dot> net. Or you can mail a check to Brooke Bassage-Glock / 409 23rd Ave South #601 / Seattle, WA 98144 (i am changing my last name to Riggio, but it isn’t in effect yet). Unfortunately, because of the rapid response required for this trip, i can’t set up an account with the agency, so this isn’t tax deductable.

Thank you for your partnership in this effort. I simply wouldn’t even attempt a thing like this without knowing that my friends and family are behind me.

blessed to be a blessing,
