Additional note...

Additional fundraising note:
Looks like I overestimated shipping costs of yak wool blankets (the blankets themselves are not all that expensive). I was initially selling them for $45, but I can do so for $35ish (maybe $37). If you've already made your donation I'll be happy to give you back $10ish--or I can bring you some handmade incense from the Buddhist nuns at Kopan Nunnery!

If you'd like to order, email me at eceyildirim9@gmail.com and let me know of any color requests (or colors that you don't want). You can give me your donation when I get the blanket to you, or you can donate via paypal (see previous post) or mail me a check at:

114 Sausalito Dr.
East Amherst, NY 14051

Of course I'm not there at the moment, but my parents will be happy to deposit your check for me.

Love and light,
Ece

Where does the money go?
Fund raising goal: $3,965

$1000 minimum donation to Mindful Medicine to pay for interpreters, supplies, most living expenses, and administrative expenses
$1800 (appx) in airfare*
$365 Travel insurance (discounted for volunteers)
$100+ for Nepali visa
$300 estimated for additional transportation and living expenses in Nepal for 3+ months
$400 estimated additional expenses (travel supplies, clinic supplies, passport renewal)

*$1800 is approximately the cost of a round trip flight from the US to Nepal in the off-season. I will not be taking a direct round trip flight, but will be instead making a few stop-overs to visit friends and relatives, and will pay additional expenses out-of-pocket.
