<div>Hi friends, family, and fellow travelers of spirit and story—
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Nahom, and this summer, I’ll be traveling with my father, Adam Abegaze, on a powerful journey through Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda—three countries that hold deep meaning and future promise for us both.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This trip is about purpose, legacy, and reconnection—and we’re asking for your help to make it possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We're Going</strong>
</div>
<div>For my dad, Adam, this is a service-driven mission. Traveling under the banner of his congregation and in partnership with his own foundation, he’s launching initiatives to support vulnerable communities in East Africa, beginning in Ethiopia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ll also be engaging in formal meetings in Mombasa, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda to connect with local leaders and explore long-term partnerships.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For me, this journey is multilayered:
</div>
<ul>
<li>We’ll both renew our Ethiopian Origin ID cards, maintaining our legal and cultural ties to the homeland
</li>
<li>I’ll serve as organizer and co-dreamer in my father’s work
</li>
<li>️I’ll be using my oratory and communication skills to share my personal story—from my early years in Ethiopia to building a life in the U.S., traveling the world, and contemplating a future return home
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Your Support Will Fund</strong>
</div>
<div>We've carefully mapped out the budget for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Your contribution will directly support:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Category Cost</strong>
</div>
<div>✈️ Intl. + Regional Flights for 2 (incl. 3 one-way legs)	$4,472
</div>
<div>Lodging for 3 travelers (shared accommodations)	$2,760
</div>
<div>Local Travel + Daily Meals	$2,300
</div>
<div><strong>Total $9,532</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re already committed—flights are being researched and booked, logistics are in motion, and our hearts are fully in. But to make this journey fully possible—to do it in a way that’s meaningful, well-documented, and impactful—we need your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support doesn’t just fund travel. It amplifies a mission, sustains a legacy, and helps create space for the kind of reconnection that’s generational.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Donate – any amount truly helps
</li>
<li>Share this story with your circle
</li>
<li>Send love, wisdom, or encouragement – we welcome it all
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t just a trip—it’s a journey of healing, heritage, and human connection.
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of it in whatever way you can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deep gratitude,
</div>
<div>Nahom &amp; Adam ✈️
</div>
