I can't make out what {tlhIngan maH 'IwlIj} is supposed to mean, and
{...'e' boSap...} doesn't seem right at all. I can't see {Sap} taking
any kind of an object, much less a sentence as one.

Something about the use of {-pu'} here confuses me a little. It looks
like you had sold the tickets and given the money away before you chose
the prize, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you intended to say.

nuqjatlh? jIyajchu'be'. naDev cha' mu'tlheghmey DaghItlhta''a'?
>bIH DIngevDI' vaj *Denver Rescue Mission*vaD Huch wInobpu'
Again, it looks like you had already given the money at the you sold
"them", whatever "they" are. I think you put the {-pu'} on the wrong
verb.

If you refuse to use punctuation to indicate where your sentences end,
can you at least keep each sentence on a line by itself? Making it
more difficult for the reader to understand goes against the goals of
communication.
