Ways to Support
Roots and Wings Ministries
These are various ways to support this new and growing ministry. God has always been faithful in providing for me and my needs but sometimes He invites others to partner with Him to ease the burdens of others. Myself and those I serve are grateful for your generosity, gifts, and prayers. You may use this link to donate and mark with the memo of our choice from the list below:
Donation
Spiritual direction is my primary and only way of providing for my daily living expenses. Donations given using the memo "general funds" will go to helping me pay my monthly bills such as rent, electricity, internet (used for the practice), and phone.
Support my Vocation
to Consecrated Life
Donations with the memo "consecrated life" will go directly to provide the travel and medical needs I have when going to the Annual Retreat for my Secular Institute. Each year we gather as a community to pray together, celebrate Mass together, renew our vows, witness new professions, enjoy times of fellowship, and make important decisions. Our community covers most of the expenses but because of my chronic illness I have additional costs to make getting there a reality. Your gift will go directly to my next Annual Retreat expenses.
Monthly Sponsorship
Give the gift of spiritual direction! I am committed to reserving free monthly slots for those in need who want to attend spiritual direction.The number of free slots will increase as my practice grows, however, sometimes the need extends beyond the free slots I am able to offer. Your generous gift of $30 per month provides a woman or man in need with the gift of attending spiritual direction for free. No commitment of how many months you are able to give is needed. Every monthly gift goes to a person in need.

Decreasing Debt
In 2021, my chronic illness led to me needing to quit my full-time (outside of the home) job and adopt online spiritual direction as my main source of income (as I can do that from home.)
Since then, I have acquired debt as I sought to treat my medical conditions without medical insurance and had to move out of a dangerous living situation that was worsening my symptoms. These great challenges are behind me now but the burden of debt remains. My goal is to be debt free by my first profession!
6 Month Sponsorship
This one time gift provides spiritual direction to a woman or man in need for 6 months! Recipients are interviewed about their need and commit to a 6 month financial check in to assess their continuing/ending of financial need. If they stop direction during that 6 month period the funds will be reallocated to another directee who is unable to pay.
Use the memo "6 months free" to give someone the gift of direction for a full 6 months!
