A brief update:

  • About 30 of you so far have expressed a desire to participate in this one way or another. The number is growing.
  • I want to stress that this effort is not simply about raising money. Contributions, of course, will be important but there are many ways one can contribute to the effort, a financial commitment is only one way.
  • I’m continuing to get suggestions regarding who we can team with, both on this end and the existing faith-based organizations in Haiti. I say Faith-based organizations, not as a prerequisite, but recognizing that Faith-based organizations have had, and will continue to have, the long term local commitment that is needed.
  • Again, I want to stress that the primary focus is a long-term connection with a worthy orphanage, not just immediate disaster assistance.
  • I am planning on spending a good part of today responding to your individual emails and suggestions.
Thank you all for your support and prayers. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BOOKMARK AND CHECK THE BLOG SPOT.

Hi All--cousin Kate (who works in a blood bank) is trying to find some way to donate new medical supplies to Haiti--if anyone knows of an organization that would take this kind of donation, please let us know! Thanks, Patricia
