Hi guys,

About a year and half you all helped me to raise money for children in Orphanages in Haiti. Together we raised about $4000 and that money served so well. We (YOU) built a wall for a school/orphanage that was exposed to thieves all the time so we did it to guarantee the safety of the children. We (YOU) also paid for water system in an orphanage that was exposed to cases of Cholera. We (YOU) also participated to repair a disgusting sewer that was broken – I couldn’t breath in that place…imagine the kids were sleeping there (50 kids in 2 rooms with this insane odor).

Anyway, the money you sent was spent so well and decided by the volunteers (me too ) on what is needed as a priority. That is why I love Headwater Relief organization. It is a small organization but they let us the donors decide where we should put the money after we see the damages.

This experience changed my life for ever. Although like everyone else, it might not be the best time for me to go (2 kids in colleges, just done our kitchen, life in general…work, kids…) I think there is never a better time than NOW. Joel and I had sponsored a little boy and assure that he will get food and clothes. We received news from him from time to time and I can’t wait to go see him as well. Unfortunately, there are 111 children in those 4 orphanages we are visiting and most of time even basics like rice, beans, food, clean water is not even there.

Please help me raise another $4,000- let’s do something together. Anything you do counts. Anything. But I need you. I can’t do it without you.

In this Holiday season, the best gift you can do is change an every day child life. Truly… I know it sounds cheesy but it is true.

In mid-July, a team of Headwaters volunteers will arrive in Haiti on the 17^th relief mission to this impoverished country still recovering from 2010 earthquake. Continuing our ongoing work there in support of several partner schools and orphanages, volunteers will make an impact by bringing school supplies, clothing, shoes, health care supplies and buying and delivering food.

In this country where one out of three children are malnourished and orphanages can barely support the basic needs of children, the efforts of organizations such as Headwaters can make an enormous difference, bringing hope and smiles in addition to a nutritious meal. Your gift will support our volunteers and provide the resources to bring hope and build resilience for the children of Haiti. Please give today. Thank you.
