Stephanie has been my
Compassion child for a VERRRY long time. I have loved this opportunity to affect a family and child so dramatically in a different culture than my own. It is only $38 a month, but I will admit there were times I debated over it because things in my own life were chaotic. Recently I have come to the realization that she will be aging out of the program this June on her birthday. This is both exciting and sad. I know she will have some good opportunities to use the skills she has learned, but I have always wanted to visit her. Well today my frugalness was faced with a delimma. A trip to El Salvador is coming up at the end of February. So... $2700 to visit her...in 6 months needs to appear. Obviously a part time job would do the trick...which would sacrifice time and effort in other areas I wanted to focus on this year. Hmmm I can't help but wonder if there is another way I can come up with the $100 + a week to make it happen while STILL paying off my car this year. Any ideas out there? (Keeping in mind, I've pretty mush sold off everything I can. LOL)
