2024 Year in Review
January- August 2024
At less than a year old, Born Abel has expanded to all 50 states, and 10 countries throughout the world. We are 100% volunteer, and as you can see from our financial forecast above, many months we still end in the red, but through the grace of God, we manage to pull through, and we are confident in our mission and rooted in our purpose to serve medically complex families, NICU families, and Angel families.
In the graph provided, not all expenses are accounted for, but all donations and incoming sales from books and Born Abel store merchandise are highlighted above. A more detailed summary and Quickbooks report will be provided in January 2025.
