The Well Ministries

Tuesday, March 6, 2007

Here are some basic financial needs we have with the bus:

• insurance (costing us $900 per year for liability only)
• fuel (costs about $3 per gallon/10 miles per gallon average)
• inspection ($45 per year)
• in addition to general upkeep and repairs

Here are some urgent financial needs pertaining to the bus:

• parking for the bus
  We are parking the bus at our house so we can maintain it here but we need to extend our driveway back about 20 feet to bring our property into compliance with the city ordinance pertaining to parking a motorhome.

Here are some items we need for the remodeling in the bus.

• Shower Unit
• Mattresses (6)
• Twin Sheet Sets (6) (All Matching, Prefer burgundy or hunter green)
• Comforters (6) (All Matching, Prefer burgundy or hunter green)
• Pillows (6)
• Towel Sets (6)
• Microwave
• TV set (2) Flat Screen is better to help conserve precious space.
• Stereo Unit
• DVD/VCR combo unit (2)
• Curtains for the bunks (6)

You might be asking, “Why do you need 2 TVs?” or “Why do you need 6 comforters?” The answer is simple: There will be 6 people traveling most of the time. We are setting up 2 areas for relaxing: one mostly for the kids to watch DVDs or play games, and one for the adults.

For those of you that would like to actually purchase the items we have tried to make it easy by registering at a few local stores. This way we can get all the pieces to match and you can see what others have purchased and what is still needed. Of course if you want to make a cash donation, the money received will be used to purchase the above items.

You can find our “wish list” at the following stores:
