9) We’re Grateful For…
…the two gifts which helped us finish out a very helpful end-of-year campaign — $5.65 from a regular (recurring) partner and $51.99 from a great friend of Brigada. This brings the total for 2024 to $11,838.82 — which is amazing, by the way. People sometimes ask, “But you didn’t make your goal? What will you do?” Obviously, like any non-profit, we’ll end up trying to get by on less. The point is – a lot of people gave a lot of funding and there’s so much we *can* do because of what they’ve given (what *YOU* have given). So thank you!!!! As always, if you’d like to stand with these partners in expanding the reach of Brigada, just browse to https://brigada.org/empower-brigada and click Donate. God bless you! This concludes our 2024 giving campaign. read more…
