Mission Trip to The Philippines
Kamusta po sa lahat! (Hello everybody!) My name is Aaron Esquivel. I am a student at Central Piedmont Community College, currently enrolled in the American Sign Language Interpreting program.
As many of you know, my parents started up and currently run an organization in the Philippines
that houses street children with the ultimate goal of adoption, Mercy House Of The Philippines.
This summer, Mikayla (a friend who visited Mercy House last year) and I are going back to volunteer for two weeks. We can think of no better way to spend a portion of our summer than to help people we love in a place we love. An overstated saying still holds true: "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
I am raising money through GoFundMe for the cost of the round-trip plane tickets (2 tickets), as it is very expensive in the summer. Both of us are full-time college students with part-time jobs, so the majority of our finances go towards classes, books, tuition, etc.
Any and all donations are greatly appreciated to assist Mikayla and I on our mission to the Philippines. All donations extending past the price of the tickets will go straight to Mercy House to support their mission, so they may continue to take in children in need.
