Help Me Get to Thailand — Mission of Peace 2027

Hi! I’m Phoebe, a 16-year-old senior from Buffalo NY. I’m raising money for the UMC Mission of Peace trip to Thailand in 2027 — a life-changing cultural immersion and service experience.

Last summer I attended the Global Young Persons Convocation in Ireland, where the theme was Sanctuary — learning that we are called to create spaces of belonging and healing for others. Thailand is my next step in living that out.

The cost is about $5,200 (airfare, meals, everything included). Every penny goes to making this trip possible.

What you get: Not just my gratitude — I’d love to come speak to your UMC group, club, charity, etc. (Greater Buffalo) after the trip to share what I learned and how your gift made an impact.

If you can donate, thank you. If you can’t, a prayer or a share helps just as much.

— Phoebe
