Hey everyone! I'm Tre' Giles, the Pastor of Justice and Mercy at Bridgetown Church and a close friend of the Shaw’s. This wonderful family is facing a significant move and has been hit with unexpected expenses and life events. We're reaching out to our community for support during this challenging time.

Here are a few things you will be helping out with if you contribute to this fund:

1) Aaron has been accepted into an incredible academic program for his PhD at the University of St Andrews (yeah, he is a big deal). Yet, they were surprised by the crazy price tag on their UK Visas ($4,500 a person!)—but wait, it gets better...

2) Julia then found out she was EXPECTING A BABY SHAW!

Now, they will be moving across the pond while expecting their first child in a foreign land, and as you can imagine, that will up their financial situation while they are there!

In summary, your contribution to this fund will testify to the dedication of a very deserving man, Aaron. His pursuit of a PhD is a milestone that will greatly impact our Biblical literacy through his work at BibleProject. You will support a family, the Shaw’s, who have served their community with unwavering commitment since their arrival in Portland, OR. Most importantly, you will be helping them to welcome a brand new addition to their family with a little less stress!

Go ahead and donate any amount you can to this and SHARE it! Share it with those people impacted by their work and their families. Shoot, share it with your grandma, who loves a good story—IDC, but let's raise this $7,000 quickly!
