3% Cover the Fee

All proceeds from this donation page will go directly toward the construction and completion of a new backyard deck for our beloved Matriarch, Mother Veanna Stepney. This space will be a place of peace and joy for her, honoring her legacy of hospitality, prayer, and family unity. Should we exceed our goal, the remaining funds will be placed into the Stepney Family Lineage account to continue building toward our 2026 Family Gathering.
