~ REACH OUT TO HAITI UPDATE ~
just wanted to let you all know how much i appreciate you all pitching together to help our adoption agency & all the kiddos out ~ i'll be talking to them again tonight, but wanted to post that i've talked to them 2 times this morning & they're thrilled with what's being down to help them ~ there have been many people who've emailed me directly asking if they can donate ~ i asked them where to send the $ & they said to send it to me & for me to bring it in when i come in 10 days ~ so far i've been told exact $$ figures by 2 families & they've been:
$2000
$600
there have been a few other families that have said, "we're sending some $", but they didn't indicate how much ~ (those that are in that group, if you let me know what's 'on the way', i'll share that with them in haiti & they'll know what to expect so they can go ahead & get things ready for the purchase when i arrive ~ i asked them how much a generator would cost & they said they think they're $5000US, but they're checking today & will let me know this evening ~ i asked about how much it'll take to fix their truck & they said, "well, to fix what's wrong with it now, i'm not sure ~ we just fix what's broken & then try to go as long as we can until the next thing breaks" ~ whatever $ comes in for the truck will be put into a 'pot' & they'll pull out what they need, as they needs it ~ i took a leap & said, "you really need another truck ~ the one you've got works as you dump $ into it, but you're really needing another one" ~ they said, "well, this one might last 1 more year if we're lucky, but i don't know beyond that" ~ i asked them how much $ it'd take to purchase another one & they said, "$25K & no one will donate that much!" ~ well, i don't know about that! ~ we'll be sending in some $ for it & adding it to the 'pot' ~ when they need the truck that they're using now, fixed, then they can dip into that pot, but hopefully the pot will grow & hopefully it'll grow fast ~ when the time comes that they're able to come up with $25K, then they'll get another truck ~ keep in mind that they're in that truck more than they're in their home ~ they works, travels, eats & sometimes sleeps in that truck so it's more of a need than a want ~ when sending in your $, please put in the memo what it's to be used for (ie: generator, truck, etc.) & it'll go for that use ONLY ~ again, anything needing to go to haiti with me, should be sent immediately ~ if it's $, then it arriving as late as the 14th would be alright, but if it's something that needs to be packed, get it here ASAP as we're starting to pack already & will not be able to wait until the end to do so ~ thank you all once again for your $ raising efforts to help foyer de la nouvelle vie & all the kiddos as it's a blessing when we can all pull together to help those who need it most ~
