<div>My name is Caitlyn and I am a proud disciple who is part of the Chicago Church of Christ - declaring Jesus as LORD 02.22.2022!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the last couple years, I have spent several hours studying God's word (The Bible) really diving into Jesus' life and admirable characteristics. One of my favorite traits he demonstrated is the <strong>LOVE </strong>that we are called to reflect into the world. One of the ways I feel God uses me to reflect this love is through a spiritual gift of serving others and volunteering with non-for-profit organizations. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>With all that being said...</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I will be serving in my 2nd Community Service Brigade with HOPE Worldwide ... this time heading to the Dominican Republic this October! </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the communities we will be serving, healthcare treatment, education, and medications are inaccessible, scarce, too expensive, diluted/polluted, and sometimes non-existent. Participating inspires greater hope in our neighbors, and registration fees pay for the safe delivery of quality US medications and healthcare services to those in need. <a href="https://www.hopeww.org/csb-dominican" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here for more info on HOPE Worldwide</a>  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will be using paid vacation time (PTO), personal savings and will be raising money via GoFund Me to support my travel/boarding expenses. <em> Bonus: If you need your dog walked or childcare - I am your girl for ANY donation amount! </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Travel budget is approximately $1,750.00.<strong> ALL funds will be used for brigade costs: </strong>medical supplies, children's toys/craft supplies, airfare, food/water, HOPE Worldwide donation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will also be collecting over the counter medicine, medical supplies and children's toys/items to contribute to the brigade supplies and gift to the local community. If you would like to contribute physical donations - please contact me directly. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Any donations, prayers, words of wisdom (or even Spanish lessons are accepted!). Thank you for anything you provide.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />

<div><em>"... I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘</em><strong><em>It is more blessed to give than to receive.</em></strong><em>’ ”</em> Acts 20:35
