Brian may work in the same building as people with some role in setting interests rates, but he has absolutely nothing to do with that. Like so many of our peers, he feels helpless about the situation, too. In addition to your spiritual support for our future life together, this fund will provide us with material support putting down roots.

Starting with Brian's sister's studies at Alfred University, ceramics have become an incredibly meaningful part of our lives. We are honored to have such creative family and friends who work in the medium. Our plan is to commission, from a to-be-determined artist, a very functional set of pieces that will serve as daily drivers. We hope to think of those who contributed each time we make a great cup of tea or are slurping some noodles, and not receive something that will compete with other heirlooms.

We are going to Tulum! Both of our first visit to Mexico and really looking forward to relaxing at this pool, the beautiful white sandy beach, and soaking in all the joy from the wedding weekend.

FAME is a medical center in rural Tanzania. We cannot overstate how meaningful FAME and Tanzania are to us. Natalie is thrilled to be going back in September where this time, as an attending, she will help supervise residents and teach the local staff. Funds will be used for housing at FAME, flights, and the visa. https://fameafrica.org/aboutfame. Check out Natalie's colleague's blog: michaelintanzania.com.

As avid commuters and cyclists, we really wish there was a way we could have a "concrete protected bike lane" fund, but, alas. We appreciate your solidarity with us and so many of our friends in advocating for safer and smarter infrastructure for all communities. Donations to NBW support their Bike Church (open workshop), adult repair classes, youth cycling programs, and equipment donations. Visit them at neighborhoodbikeworks.org.
