I hope you're doing well! I’m reaching out to share an important cause I am passionate about and to ask for your support. For the past 14 years, I have partnered with an amazing grassroots non-profit organization called FiftyTwoFour to raise funds for orphans in India. These orphans are treated as the lowest in their society because they have HIV or AIDS. Their former communities believe that these orphans deserve this affliction because of something they have done in their past lives.  They believe their suffering is written in their destiny.

To help raise money for these children, I have committed to running 4 half-marathons in 4 weeks. Completing these races is a difficult and often painful challenge, but I am eager to do this because I know every dollar we raise makes a real difference. I am asking my friends and family to consider partnering with me by sponsoring me in this effort. 

In the spring of 2023, I traveled to India with a small group to witness firsthand how the funds that we raise are being utilized. It was an amazing experience and fills me with hope to see how well these orphans are loved and cared for. They receive shelter, education, and the nutrition that is critical to their survival with HIV/AIDS. Most importantly they learn about Jesus Christ and His love for them. It was amazing to see these children full of joy and love despite all their challenges and affliction. 

FiftyTwoFour is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. 100% of your donations will go to India to support these orphans.

Thank you so much for taking the time to consider supporting me in this effort. If you would like to contribute you can scan the QR code or see the insert for more details. Your generosity will truly help make a difference in these precious children.

With gratitude and love,

Josiah
