After nearly four years of updates, waiting, and praying I am so excited to let you know…
OUR CHARITY STATUS IS APPROVED!!!!
We were shocked when one evening the emails unexpectedly came through. We honestly felt a bit numb for the first few hours. For so long we’ve worked, waited, and prayed. One of our core team members said it best, “We feel like the dog that finally caught the car.”
What does charity status give us?
With charity status we have a recognized stamp of approval and accountability that will give us greater trust in local communities. We are also now allowed to publicly offer our services and help many more women in crisis pregnancy. Additionally, with charity status, we will now be allowed to raise funds within Ireland, opening the door to one of our longterm goals of being fully funded by Irish people.
So what does a dog do when it finally catches the car?
It takes tiny bites. We will maintain this time of celebration and gratitude until after our conference is over at the end of this month. In October, we will the process of developing, finalising, and rolling out our launch plan. I will let you know more info about that soon.
For now, let’s take time to be grateful for God’s favour. We want to thank you all so much for all the prayers and support through this season. Our blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this process and we absolutely could NOT have done it without your prayers to keep us covered and moving forward.
