2022 Winter Fundraising Letter

December 2022

My Dear Sangha,

Our World is in need of Awakening ❤️ and with your generous support we are working daily on bringing the Direct Experience of Truth to you and to many others.  Our vision of transforming FOTS remains Very Strong! 

And yet, for the last 5-months we have needed to temporarily change our focus — to hiring and sustaining the office due to an unexpected office staff resignation.  

This has truly impaired our ability to move forward with many key vital-to-our-transformation projects and it is also taking my time and energy away from Teaching. We have still not been able to find a skilled manager and have realized it is due in a big part to the very limited working hours and budget we are able to offer. 

Your support, enthusiasm, and generosity are needed this Winter to raise $20,000 so that we can offer more working hours, attract someone with the right skillset, and support me getting back to creating teaching projects connected to the deep transformation of FOTS! The more money we raise to meet this goal, the more I will be able to focus my energy on what matters most — being available for you and Teaching! 

Moving forward we do not want to make a radical change in our pricing for programs and sessions. Your support at this time is so important because the huge amount of energy and time needed for me to both maintain the office and teach is not sustainable.

I often reflect on and sit in Gratitude for my Connection with You, with Truth, with Papaji, Ramana, and with all my students ❤️, knowing also very well that the sharing and delivery of this teaching is only possible and as good as the people that are helping and supporting it. ?

I am deeply grateful to You, for everything you have done for us so far, and I want to inspire and encourage you to generously donate to us once again so that together we can reach the $20,000 goal. 

Please read Jennifer’s note to learn more and hear about all the projects we have been working on. ?♥️

With Love and Gratitude,

Neelam

From Jennifer:

Dear Sangha mates and Friends of Neelam, 

As I am sure you will agree, these last three amazing months of “Doership” programs with Neelam have been life-changing! …and then there was our beloved August program on “Emptiness & Love” that was simply divine.❤️‍? 

All these programs help us change the way we see the world and loosen the limitations and boundaries of our mind.⚡️ Neelam has so much to share all focused on our Awakening.  We want Neelam to spend her time developing Awakening tools and programs for us — not doing office admin work! ??  

As you can see in our summary boxes, not only have we been very busy offering beautiful programs and working daily supporting the office, but Neelam also continues to offer programs at very reasonable rates and she ends up subsidizing a huge percentage of all programs — this is not sustainable!  We must be able to get back to transforming FOTS so we can grow and reach more people to help support and sustain FOTS.

Supporting FOTS in hiring a skilled office manager is the most essential, valuable, and powerful way we can show our support of Neelam and the Teachings!           

Please join me & donate today!

— Jennifer Simon, FOTS Volunteer
