Help me start my charity!

Donation protected
For six years, I led an organization for anti-bullying awareness that I co-founded called Stop the Hate Spread the Hope.  I would travel the country speaking to people about hope and that things will get better for them. This message is still true today.

But as I grew deeper in my relationship with Jesus Christ, this Scripture verse would always stick out to me, "sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you" - 1 Peter 3:15 Since reading this verse, it has always been on my heart to tell the people that I speak to that the reason for my hope is Jesus Christ, my Savior, alive and risen.

Over the past two years, I have dove into that passion by serving as youth minister at various churches around the Syracuse Diocese, but I've always felt a calling to "Go Forth to make disciples" (Matthew 28:19) in a different way.

Now I've decided to go after that calling and dream of mine to start a new charity and mission organization called "This Catholic Life".

My new organization, This Catholic Life, will be adding value to parishes across the country by engagingly spreading the Gospel message. We will be working to create captivating online and social Catholic content to grow awareness to hope in Jesus Christ. I envision creating parish based Catholic resources for youth and young adult ministries, charitable mission trips, and more.

I'm very excited for this new adventure in life that God is calling me too, and here on this GoFundMe page I'm asking for your support.

Join me on this adventure to live This Catholic Life and encourage others to live it too. Help me spread the Gospel message of Christ to the whole world.

The money I raise here on this page will go to fund the initial startup cost of the charity itself (ie. IRS 501(c)3 filing, misc. fees, etc.) and it will also help for me to throw my first launch event/retreat I'll be calling "The Fountain". (If you donate $50 or more, you will be awarded free admission to this event and recognition
 in the event program because you're amazing!)

First and foremost, pray for those who need to hear God's message, pray for me as I begin this journey, and pray for the mission of This Catholic Life as we begin. Thank you and God bless.
