We know the thought of raising the money for your trip can be intimidating, scary, and seemingly impossible. We also know that hundreds of volunteers before you have done it!
The reality is that over 70% of our volunteers fundraise to make their trip possible. If you want to come but don’t have the funds, YOU CAN successfully raise the funds!
If you ever have questions, let us help! Reach out to tanner@motherswithoutborders.org
