My first big adventure

I have been training to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro for a year with multiple hours of cardio and strength training as well as seeked the advice of a nutrition specialist to help with diet and nutrition issues.  In May was blindsided and lost my job.  I really liked the job and had been working as much overtime as possible to pay for this trip and purchase the last few pieces of gear needed.  This loss of job leaves me both battling to receive my unemployment, as the employer is fighting it as well as searching for a new job and a way to finish paying for this trip. I had a bake sale last week and am also helping in a laundry and have several more small scale ideas, however, these efforts still leave me short. I am not the type to ask for help for myself but, I find myself willing to do whatever possible to make the early mornings and long days worth the effort.  Thank you for your consideration, please feel free to forward this to anyone else that you know who might be interested in helping me with this effort.
