I donated $10 to the Red Cross Via text!

My children are from Haiti. We have many dear friends and my children’s birth families who are there. The orphanage where my children spent 2.5 years waiting to come home is down to only a week worth of food and water. There are many, many infants at this orphanage because other orphanages turned the babies away due to the expense of keeping them. Please if you can help in any way, go to http://www.chances4children.org/c4c/donate/contribute/

Our family donated $100 to Doctors without Borders last night. Thanks for all you do!

Joanie – I’m from your old stomping grounds in Meridian and am so happy to see this on here. My good friends in Nampa have been working for a long time to adopt two Haitian children living in an orphanage that was affected by the earthquake. They met the children when they traveled to Haiti to deliver supplies to the orphanage several years ago for their oldest son’s Eagle Scout project. (What an awesome project, huh?) The mom of this family is now serving on the board for the orphanage too. Anyhow, this has been difficult for them not being able to contact their kids there, but they have heard reports that the children are ok.
This is the info that they sent me, asking for help to sign a petition allowing already adopted children from Haiti emergency US visas so they can get the kids over here now. This wasn’t started by their family and is not just for them – but is for all the families in this situation right now. Here’s the info:

“To the US Government and US State Department – Legally adopted children of Americans are currently stuck in Haitian orphanages, many of which are destroyed or damaged and without food and water. These are legal children of American citizens, whose adoption has already been approved and finalized by the Haitian government prior to the 1-12-09 earthquake, but have been waiting for Haiti to print a passport or the US government to issue a visa. But now, with Haitian government buildings destroyed and the country in chaos, this is not possible. By signing this petition, we ask that the US government take action by immediately issuing visas to these children so that they may travel to join their families in the US, who love and are invested in these children. Evacuate the already adopted children so that they do not die in the aftermath of the earthquake! Letting the legally adopted children leave Haiti on emergency visas will open space in orphanages for newly orphaned children who will likely die on the streets without care. Issue visas now!
(Petition open until 1-25-10 at which time it will be sent to US State Department.)”

And here is the link to it:

Hope you’ll consider signing on for a good cause!
