I've raised some money from my cause from people who are my friends online, but I've never met offline. Contribute to my latest personal fundraising campaign to support Leng Sopharath , an orphan from Cambodia, for her junior year at college.

Cambodia brought me my two beautiful children and I felt strongly that we should give back to the country in some way. She is also an orphan and lived in the same orphanage as my daughter) The problem was I didn't have any idea of how I was going to make a donation of that size after exhausting all my offline networks.

By the time you read this post, I’ll be in Cambodia. For those of you who have been following my blogging since 2004, you know why Cambodia is in my heart! We promised the monk that we would hold Cambodia in our hearts and travel back with our children to their birth country when they were old enough to appreciate it.

My fourth personal fundraising campaign was to support Leng Sopharath , an orphan from Cambodia, for her junior year at college. My goal was to ask online and offline for $10 gifts and hope that 100 people donate the $1,000 needed. The Personal Fundraising Campaign Surpassed Its Goal Faster Than I Could Say Thank You!
