Helping Guatemala after Pacaya and Agatha

Posted by: Mary | Comments (3)
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Just a quick note to let everyone know that we’re  currently talking with different NGOs and aide groups to see how we can best assist in the Guatemalan relief efforts following the Tropical Storm Agatha that hit this weekend just on the heels of the Pacaya eruption last Thursday. We will have updates here posted very soon, so please check back.

Unfortunately, the news coverage on this is slim. If you can, please post Facebook updates and Tweet about it so it stays on the radar and we can rally support.

Okay…it’s crunch time. Please help us reach our goal for the Night at Races fundraiser. We need your help now! We have to give attendance info to the venue very soon. So place those ticket orders ASAP!!!

This is going to be a really fun evening and a great way to meet fellow supporters of our cause. Remember, the proceeds will be donated to Guatemalan orphanages that need our support to continue operating. We need your help so please place those ticket orders now.

Kind regards,

Mary

Haiti Earthquake Relief

Posted by: Mary | Comments Comments Off
Monday, January 25th, 2010

When a devastating emergency hits, I often wonder, can you really trust that your donations will be used wisely and in a timely manner?   I thought others out there must have the same concern, so I want to pass along the organization my family is donating to during this terrible situation in Haiti.

MedWish International is a Cleveland, Ohio based non-profit providing much needed supplies to Haiti.
I strongly urge you to visit their site and learn more about them. In addition to financial donations that you can make on their website, they have requests for supplies to maintain their warehouse inventory and they also have a place to register as a volunteer to help in their warehouse.  So if you are in Northeast Ohio, you really should check their site for hands on volunteer opportunities.

Best regards,

Mary

Guadalupe Needs Our Help

Won't you please help?

Won't you please help?

A New child arrived at New Dawn this week. Her name is Guadalupe and she has had a bad eye infection that has resulted in blindness in her left eye.  Hopefully, with proper treatment she can recover some if not all of her sight.  Right now, I am seeking donations to help with the medical bills for this precious little girl.  I hope you can find it in your heart to donate today.  Wouldn’t that make the best Chirstmas present? Sight for a child? Please pray that the medical staff in Guatemala can help Guadalupe and that she will be able to see again. Thank you so much for any donations you can make.
