Happy to help spread the word for a fellow Bahamian family. If you are able to support or simply share, please read their message below. ❤️👇

Many of you already know—or may just be hearing—that our family is currently awaiting a response regarding our Permanent Residency (PR) application. This journey has come with many challenges, denials and delays, but through it all, we have continued to trust God’s plan.

As an act of faith, we are hosting the Sear’s S***e Out with the hope of raising funds to cover the cost of our PR payment, which totals $3,189. We have set a fundraising goal of $4,000 to help cover this expense and any related costs. More than anything, we are believing that this event will be a testimony of what God can do when we trust Him and step out in faith. If you are able to support us, we would be so grateful if you could also share this flyer with anyone who may be interested.

We’ll also be selling regular and guava cinnamon rolls for $7 each! If you’d like to order those, simply include your cinnamon roll order in the preorder notes so we know how many to prepare.

We are deeply grateful for every donation, no matter the amount. If you need your order delivered, please let us know, and we’ll do our best to make arrangements.

Thank you for your prayers and encouragement in this season. Thank you for stepping out in faith with our family as we trust God to provide. Like we said above we believe this event will be a testimony of His faithfulness and a reminder that when we place our trust in Him, He always makes a way.

With sincere gratitude,
The Sears Family❤️
