Hello Daystar friends,
This week or next, you should receive a postcard in the mail with photos of a few of our Daystar International Students. These faces represent the real lives of students who are struggling during these days away from their families and home countries.
(top row): Jonny from South Sudan, Joy from Congo, Joseph from Nigeria (bottom row): Dorcas from Congo, Samuel from Rwanda, Maria from Burundi.
We continue to raise funds for this emergency for students, and we would ask that you prayerfully consider joining us in supporting 55 international students and 392 other students who cannot make their school fee payment as a result of the current crisis.
Fundraising Target: $119,000
Funds Raised to Date: $14,355
With stimulus funds starting to arrive this week, would you please consider a special gift to support our Daystar International Students?
After caring for the needs of your own families, this is a great way to bless our African brothers and sisters who will not be receiving such government aid.
CORRECTION NOTICE
On the first wave of postcards sent out, a mistake was made on the website address used to donate. Thanks, Marjorie, for recognizing this mistake! No, we are not part of the “Daystar” choir in Canada. Sorry for the confusion! The correct address is www.daystarus.org/donate.
Please be watching for further updates and please feel free to contact me with any questions and/or comments. We are so thankful for your generosity during these uncertain days!
Blessings,
Alan

+ You'll be giving a valuable gift with no out-of-pocket cost.
+ You'll capture the value of your stock and stop worrying about market ups and downs.
+ You'll receive an income tax deduction for the full amount of your gift.
ENDOWMENTS
Our scholarship endowments are the financial building blocks to help Daystar look to the future with confidence. An endowment gift is the single most important way to make the university available to students for years to come. As the endowments grow, Daystar can expand its ability to challenge and nourish lives. When you help with a deferred gift, you take a very personal stake in the kind of education that builds Christian character as it creates an environment of academic excellence.
PLANNED GIVING
Through planned gifts you can support Daystar University while improving your financial security. In fact, just one planned gift can return an immediate tax deduction to you, plus lifetime income for you and a loved one, plus long-term financial support to Daystar.
We're here to help you get started with your stock donations, endowments, and planned giving!
