In my seventh month of this retreat, I have $14,582.45 in savings, or enough for a year more of this retreat. This is a net total remaining from approximately $8,600 in donations from friends, family, and sangha members; $6,093.18 (to date) from a GoFundMe campaign started to fund this retreat, and earned income from working as a translator and catering cook. These totaled $23,500 in funds raised so far, less about $7,871.76 in expenditures for the retreat underway. +
I have personal savings of about USD 15,000. My current monthly income is in the form of allowance of USD 1,400.
I do not have other means of financial support. +
I have savings of 18,000 USD. I will do my translation work and also look for other jobs to earn money until my retreat starts Oct. 2020. +
I do not have paid job since I moved to KTD as a volunteer 2016. By Oct 2017 I have spent all personal savings. I had medical expenses due to contriving Lyme from a tick bite. It was diagnosed 3 months later, at that stage treatment takes a long time and requires extensive supplementation. Once I run out of personal savings, I was offered a support of monetary donations, so I could continue to serve cooking in the 3-year retreat. I have been receiving $300-500 a month in donations, which I spend on health supplementation, dharma supplies and teachings, offerings, minimal personal necessities. The accommodation, food and Dharma teachings that take place in KTD and in Karme Ling are free of charge for the volunteers.
My sponsors are:
1. Anonymous members of Karme Ling community, international
2. My friends Peter and Jenia Brazchikovic, based in Brooklyn NY
3. My sister Anna and her husband Vasyl, based in Ukraine.
They are willing to continue the support during my 3-year retreat. +
1000.00 per month retirement income
No other income at this time.
No savings
I own a tiny home
Currently researching sponsors +
I receive a modest retirement income: $1,564.88 net monthly. Because I have no savings or assets I must be able to save and put aside enough each month so that I have a safety net upon completion of the retreat, since I will be 65 and unlikely to find well-paying work. There are also other expenses outside of the retreat such as health insurance. My younger son is just 18 and starting college and my older son is a newlywed, so they are not able to contribute. I have no other close family. I will start a GoFundMe campaign and ask internet friends if they would wish to contribute, but I have not yet done so. I had planned to pay $800/month of the costs and tuition which I incorrectly thought would cover the tuition and costs, but costs are greater than this. Therefore I am humbly and gratefully requesting assistance from Tsadra Foundation for the remaining $400 per month. +
I have been living with a most modest income for many years and have hardly got any savings. Yet I live without debts of any kind. None the less I intend to work as much as I can prior to the retreat to earn some money towards the retreat costs. However I am unemployed at present and supported by a meagre unemployment allowance as well as their support in finding a new job or jobs.
I do not know whether or not some kind persons around me might be favourably inclined towards my 3 years retreat... This state of uncertainty together with my sincere wish to complete the retreat makes me approach for your kind support... I do not know now what amount to request from your side, and added a 25,000 of the estimated 30,000. Not having been in Arizona yet I will have to make a first trip before the retreat draws near and thus look at two trips there. +
personal savings - $18,000
sale of car - est. $3000 +
I have about 15,000 in a personal savings account that i have held for retirement, retreat, emergencies. I have no family support and no regular sponsors. I work for the money I use to live. My expenses are very low. +
