A Difficult Request
Alright, I'm horrible at asking for help but I have 90437361748 kids and becoming an ordained minister is a very expensive and time consuming process. As some of you know, i have transferred to the Iliff School of Theology to continue my studies. This was mainly due to Iliff adding a 'Journey' program which will allow me to travel to school once a quarter instead of every two weeks as I have been doing. This will save me A LOT of money but it is still an outrageous amount every quarter. I have been on scholarship the last two years but scholarship money seems to be drying up, so I am faced with more student loans in order to finish. I am about halfway through my degree and hope to finish in the next two calendar years.
What I am asking for is financial help.
My books cost about $200 a quarter, plane tickets to Denver are about the same. Each quarter hour is about $600 and I am trying to stay full time by taking 8 each quarter (two classes). It hurts to ask for help but I feel like God is trying to teach me a lesson about humility. So I am trying to get past my temptation to delete this. Again. Still trying not to delete. I know there are lots of people that are in much harder financial positions than I am but I’m trying to faithfully follow my call without placing too heavy a burden on my family. If you can help, even a small amount, I would really appreciate it. I’m not asking anyone to pay my way through this thing, but it would mean a lot to me and my personal ministry if you could support me by purchasing a book or a one way plane ticket to Denver or a credit hour or anything.
Please follow this link to find the list of books I need to purchase for the current quarter: Fall 2010 Book List
Anyone interested in donating money can do so by sending a check directly to Iliff made payable to “Iliff School of Theology” with a note specifying that it is a scholarship for Chris Wickersham:

I really do appreciate everything all of my friends and family do for me, thank you so much!

Olivia being clever
Olivia is so good manipulating things with her hands, she really is gifted! She eventually got the belt buckled and was awful proud of herself.
