Mercy Project + TexAgs = Freedom for more child slaves

Howdy Ags! We have a very special opportunity to do something great together as a community by partnering with Mercy Project, a local, Aggie-run non-profit that many of us have grown to love. Please watch the short video above for details.

Mercy Project
Rejoice and her four children at her shop in Ghana

For those who aren't able to watch, Mercy Project has been working in Ghana, Africa since 2009, where they have rescued more than 100 children out of slavery. They currently have a new village ready to work with them — a village ready to release 8-10 children from slavery — but they need the power of TexAgs to raise the funds for the rescue.

Three generous TexAgs supporters have already pledged to match the first $20,000 given from this community. So that leaves just $30,000 needed to rescue these kids and bring them home to their families forever. That’s just 300 people willing to make a one time $100 gift to help these kids lives forever.

What do you say, TexAgs? Let’s bring these kiddos home.

Thanks to everyone who has been so generous already! We've raised nearly $4,000 already which is almost $8,000 with the matching donors. That's more than 15% of the way to the goal after less than a day! Whoop!

Great news, Ags! We're 1/3 of the way to our goal after just 48 hours. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far!

I thought y'all might like to see a timeline that will hopefully give you a good idea of how exactly this will play out over the next few weeks if we get the village funded by Monday. Thanks to everyone who has given! And here's the link again in case you want to help: tx.ag/MercyProject

Today is the day we're hoping to close this out, and we are 77% of the way to what we need! Here are two of the beautiful kiddos that are working on the lake literally as we speak but who will be rescued by the end of this month with your help. Let's do this, Ags!!!
