UPDATE III: Over $500 so far. More than halfway home.
UPDATE II: Bumped to the top
UPDATE: $300 in the kitty so far. Not a bad start.
On Monday, January 16th, I will once again be traveling to Chihuahua, Mexico for business. During my week long stay in Chihuahua, I plan on making another trip out to the Misericordia Orphanage. I hope to be able to duplicate what we were able to do a couple of years ago at the orphanage by delivering medical supplies, household goods, and some toys to the kids.
This is where you can help out. We will be accepting donations over the next ten days or so to use to buy these much needed supplies. Click on the Pay Pal button to donate:
We realize that it's been a demanding year on the charitable front with the Southeast Asia tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and any number of other urgent needs. And you're probably feeling a little tapped out in the aftermath of the holidays.
But this is a very worthy cause and you can make a donation safe in the knowledge that your money is being put to good use. There are no overhead costs (other than what PayPal skims off the transactions) involved. Every dollar donated is directly used to purchase goods that are delivered directly into the hands of the children at the orphanage (in the case of toys, we mean that quite literally).
Unfortunately, your donation is not tax deductible. We have been looking into getting a foundation set up in the US to support the orphanage, but that effort is still in the development phase right now.
If you have any questions about the orphanage or this fundraiser, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can read more about it here and more about the February 2004 visit here. If you're not comfortable using Pay Pal, but would like to make a donation, drop me an e-mail at rightwinger23@hotmail.com and I'll let you know where you can send a check.
We would like to raise at least $1000 so that we could really make a difference with our effort. Thanks in advance for your support.
