Monetary Update and Donations

Makenna Lenover

At about the midpoint of the planned fundraisers, it is time for an update on the success of the 3 causes. The goal was $200 to send a child to an English Language Program, $200 to buy a playground toy for an orphanage in Honduras, and $360 to send a child to school for a year in Guatemala.

Little Known Help Zone has made wonderful strides, but more need to be made to reach these goals. In the future there will be a yoga fundraiser and another fundraiser at Western Elementary, and this will bring us closer to our goal.

If you would like to contribute further to these causes, please contact Makenna Lenover at littleknownhelpzone@gmail.com

Every dollar counts and this would make a huge difference.

$683 more to go to reach the goal of $760 for the 3 causes in Central America.

Thank you for all your support in these endeavors.

There will be informational signs and literature, t shirts for sale, a donation jar, and most excitingly, a sale of 3 various crafts. with the money from the crafts going to 3 different charities in Central America! The monetary donations from these sales will be part of a Christmas Project, and the crafts will be released soon with their charitable causes!

Little Known Help Zone Yoga Fundraiser

Makenna Lenover

Little Known Help Zone is back and in full swing after a unfortunately failed trip to the Dominican Republic. Plans were made to set up a pen pal exchange and volunteer at local villages, but unfortunately communication was lost.

Back at the end of May, Little Known Help Zone held a fundraiser at Emmaus Yoga Studio with a raffle. The fundraiser was a success! 10 people showed up, and a total of $174 was raised for Little Known Help Zone! This money will go towards funding future projects and events.

The day started with everyone arriving and purchasing raffle tickets.
