Thank You For All Your Support
I just wanted to take a minute to thank all of you that have donated and are praying for the children of Haiti. Your prayers and support are very much appreciated.
Well, I know you have all been waiting to see the pictures of the children receiving the donations you gave. Thank you for being so patient. There was technical problems that occured with the camera's port so that was why there was such a long delay. Yesterday though I finally received some pictures. The kiddos are adorable. Just looking at their pictures gives me even more ideas on what to send next as I'm sure it will you too. Unfortunately we did come across a snag with the pictures though. We've been told that there was another large donation that was delivered with ours at the same time. Everything was all packed together so they were not able to tell which donations came from which person. A volunteer took some pictures once everything was unpacked but didn't get any pictures of any of the donations we sent. I don't know how that happened but I apologize to all of you for this. I know you have all been waiting , as have we. We have been assured that the donations DID arrive. There is just no pictures of them being given out. That said, I have to ask you to have faith that they did arrive and were given to the children. I hope and pray that you will continue to donate despite this setback. Sometimes we just have to leave things in HIS hands and trust that HIS will has been and will be done. This is one of those times. If any of you are still uncomfortable about continuing to donate I urge you please pray about it. Please feel free to email me at salinge76@yahoo.com if you have any further questions. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Something New
Hi again. We recently added a new page element here on our site. It is from Petfinder and it is very important. As most of you know, Katie dreams of becoming a veterinarian someday and wants to help animals in shelters. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will find many pets from our local shelters in need of homes. Just click on a picture and it will tell you more about that specific animal and how to contact the shelter it is in. There is also a section at the bottom where you can enter in your own zip code and it will show you pets waiting for homes in your area!! Is that neat or what? So we hope you will all take advantage of this opportunity. Who knows, you may find your new best friend! Even if you are not looking for a pet for yourself right now you may come across one a friend, relative ,or neighbor may be interested in. Please be sure to let us know if you do come across a pet you are interested in. We have many great readers and there are also many great pets waiting to be adopted. Hopefully we can help bring some of you together!!!

Safe And Sound In Haiti
Our first shipment of donations arrived safely in Haiti on March 26th. We don't have any details or pictures to share with you all yet but hope to have some very soon. I know you all want to see the pics, so as soon as we get them we will post them here.
Things have gotten very bad in Haiti recently. There has always been a shortage of food and medicine and most families live on as little as $2 per day/$10 weekly. But now things are getting even worse due to the drastically rising prices of food and supplies in Haiti. The people literally do not have enough money to buy food for themselves or their families. They are slowly and painfully starving to death! The government of Haiti is not doing anything to help it's people. This is why they need our help. They need it now more than ever before. Please consider donating now. We really need peanut butter and soy formula. Other than that if you are donating food items please make sure they are nonperishable, as it may take a few weeks before they get to Haiti.
We hope and pray that all of you will help bring food to the starvig people of Haiti. Regardless of whether you can only afford to donate one jar of peanut butter or 20 jars, they are all very much needed and appreciated. You will literally be helping to save lives just by doing something so simple. We will be sending out our next shipment in a couple of weeks. Please... help us help them. You won't regret it. We promise.
