Aid Matt & Ryah's Move for Growth
Donation protected
Hello! We're Matt and Ryah, and we are moving abroad to Costa Rica!
Since we met and began our life together, we have had wonderful opportunities unfold before us in the most unexpected and delightful ways. This is the case now, as we prepare to leave the United States behind and begin a new chapter in Costa Rica.
Our friends and community have never existed within strict borders; our friends and community have opened their home to us to start and strengthen a new and growing ministry. Ryah is currently in their 2nd year of seminary and Matt is excited to begin his photography endeavors in a new location.
As we answer the call to Ministry in more ways than one, we are first so thankful that the Divine leads us to grow and evolve in ways we could not have possibly imagined. Second, we are thankful to you, YES! YOU!, for coming to our GoFundMe and reading this far.
The funds we hope to raise throughout this campaign will help us sow the seeds and nurture new roots on this journey.
Some of the costs we are asking for help covering include, but certainly are not limited to:
- Airplane tickets (~$700 each plus pet fees)
- Getting our animals up to date on shot and accessing their medications (~$500)
- Purchasing luggage (~$150-$300)
- Shipping items to Costa Rica (~$200)
- Purchasing items to furnish our new home (~$1,500)
- Access to medical care in Costa Rica (until we qualify for residency, we are accountable for our own medical costs) (~$550/month)
- Transportation costs- such as the bus and train (~$300)
This is certainly not an extensive breakdown but provides some insight into our living costs as we prepare to move abroad.
