What are we asking for?
The total cost of the tour to Johannesburg is in the vicinity of $7000. Tarryn’s family is not in a position to pay this amount and we are therefore seeking financial support from a range of different organisations.
The first deadline is 28 August 2015, by which time Tarryn must have paid a $2000 deposit, with a further $2000 being required by 28 September 2015. We hope to meet the first deadline through funding requests of local businesses.
But the remaining money, we'd like to raise through Pozible.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
