Thank you so much for all who have donated and helped me raise funds for new equipment.

I am almost there, so I am sharing this again. I truly appreciate you all.

———————-

I have asked before for donations, and usually I have done so vaguely. Sometimes being a little more specific, but nothing with a specific purpose. And many of you have given and its been very heartwarming.

Thinking about it, the last time I asked with a very specific purpose was for a similar purpose. I had dropped my iPad, and it hit the powerbutton in a particular place where I could no longer turn the iPad on…

This time is for a similar purpose. My hardware is failing, and I am in the process of replacing my hardware, and hopefully purchasing a MacBook Air. The ability for video and sound editing make this a good choice.

So, with that goal in mind, I am asking the below:

If you have ever considered donating to the DSCS, now is a great time. It would extremely helpful and appreciated. No amount is too small (or too big). Any donation will help offset the higher cost of hardware replacement.

There are a couple of ways of giving:

PayPal: john@giftofgracenet

Venmo: @revjohn29

Or https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DSKidSermons

One can even Zelle – john@giftofgrace.net

Thank you!! I appreciate you.

– John
