We need a miracle
One of the purposes for traveling this week is because Generation Xcel (and by extention, my family) needs another financial miracle before Friday. This summer, we had a $75,000 grant to fund our after school programs supposedly in the bag, from a funder that solicited our proposal and worked with me to insure that the proposal would sail through the approval process. Then in August, days after Nonna and Caleb died, I received a brief email saying that the foundation had changed its funding policies and would no longer be providing grants to organizations directly. Instead it had, "committed our budget towards helping families who cannot afford basic necessities." (Nevermind the fact that if Xcel has no funding, its staffs' families cannot afford basic necessities.) That left us with approximately 6 weeks of operating budget in the bank, and this week that window is almost closed. Please pray for a breakthrough. Even as the world's generosity is focused on the Gulf Coast, we need manna from heaven to keep Generation Xcel open this year. All donations to Generation Xcel are tax deductible and can be made online here or by mail to: Generation Xcel, 9 East 7th Street, New York, NY 10003.
