I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!
I said I wasn't going to go to the orphanage this year, it's just too much time & money, blah blah blah.. but.. you guess it, I'M GOING! I'm such a sucker and can't stand the thought of the girls not having someone show up!! We try to teach them people do care about them and you can count on others, so if no one goes, all that work and trust is gone! Right now.. it's just me going but one is better then none!! :)
I'm hoping to leave in 3 weeks or so.. which means.. I need help/donations and prayers like fast!!!!
If you can make a donation in any amount, that would be a HUGE HELP!!
Welcome
I traveled to an orphanage in Udon Thani, Thailand, where I spent 4 days with 300 children, many sick, several have AIDS and many from the sex trade. My final day there was very hard, as I knew; alot of these girls will never know another life but this and the sex trade. It was a horrible feeling and as I drove to the airport, I told myself, I didn't ever want return and deal with so much sadness and poverty again.
However... I'm going back.. ohh and not only am I going back, I'm leading it this year!! (Co Leading with Neil who kicks butt!) This March, myself and a team of wonderful people will be leaving the Seattle airport headed for Udon Thani. Over the past year, some of those beautiful girls have left, passed away and a few even adopted. But there are still hundreds there that need our help!! Traveling to a third world country that's not clean, that doesn't have the amenities we are custom to, and they don’t' have Starbucks (I know.. I cried too!) isn’t' for everyone.. I understand that. But what IS for everyone is helping others!!!
So like any person begging for donations.. if you would like to help out and make a donation, we could REALLY use it. We would like to raise enough money to buy boxes and boxes of baby supplies, TONS of toys, books, hygiene products, etc. Your contribution, along with contributions from others, will have a serious impact on this orphanage. To help make a difference, please consider giving, any dollar amount is much needed and much appreciated!! I encourage you to share this letter with other people who may want to lend their support as well.
