Today I applied The Love, Elijah Project to participate in a huge crowdfunding festival in April.
I am still new to this stuff, and I even though I have full faith that we will be able to eventually build our Love, Elijah museum, It is terrifying asking people for money.
On the application it asked about how much I needed.
I think that the max was like $100,000 and so that is what I went for.
I know it is a lot, but If I am to do this right, I will need a pretty sizable space, not to mention all the display materials we will need.
It is a lot.
I know it is a lot.
But I am determined.
I am determined because Elijah's memory is worth preserving.
I am also determined because these mothers and fathers need a place of sanctity for their children's memories.
I want to help.
So, hopefully, we will be able to get accepted.
Then, I will just have to figure out how to get enough t-shirts to sell, a tent, and information printed...
One step at a time.
I wish I had got more accomplished today, but the application took a while to figure out and then I had to make a video:
I am pretty proud of it.
It is very short, but I feel like it is plenty moving.
Like I said, one step at a time...but I will walk a million steps if that is what it takes.
Oh sweet Elijah.
I wish I could walk to heaven. I wish I could find you and take you home. I know it is selfish, but you are my baby, and I miss you so much. I love you more and more each day. You don't have to be here for me to love you. I will never stop loving you.
I miss you my boogie.
