Should you want me to experience any of these wonderful things, give me money! Make out a check to Westside Baptist Church and be sure to write "Rachelle Wilson - Account #8269" in the memo line. The gift will be tax deductible and all that good stuff.

Send it to:

Westside Baptist Church
10000 W Newberry Rd
Gainesville, FL 32606

In case you forgot what you're actually supporting, I work for an awesome Fair Trade handicraft company, which is helping a lot of women in rural Yunnan province. Supporting me will help me to stay here and continue working with them. And yes, the above comforts of home do help me to stay here. You try eating fried rice every day for a week and trust me, you would give your left arm for a caramel macchiato or a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese. I personally would prefer to give my right arm, as I am left handed, but you get the point.
