When I get up in the morning, the first thing I check is the First Giving page for Passports with Purpose. As of a few days ago, we’ve met – and surpassed – our fundraising goal. Because of your generosity – on all sides, from those that donated prizes to those that bought tickets, we’ve now got over 5000 dollars to give to Heifer International.
