To the world you may be one person, But to one person
you may be the world………
I
am over joyed with the amount of friends and family who have asked what they
could do to help. So many of you have done so much already. I appreciate the support you have given me for
something that is so important in my heart.
It doesn’t matter if you can only give $1 or $1000,,, but doing anything
can make a BIG difference.
Thanks
to EVERYONE who has donated to our trip or sponsored a child.
Many
friends have asked me how they can help.
You
can visit my page directly to donate to the trip at http://myheartsmission.blogspot.com/ or you can donate directly to our new
non-profit organization http://www.aheart4guatemala.org/
Please
take the time to read our blogs to learn more about our passion and hearts’
desire……
A Heart for Guatemala (our new non-profit organization) is heavily
dependent upon donations from individuals and corporations. The more we
are able to raise, the bigger the difference we can make!
Monetary and Specific Item Donations
Monetary
donations allow us to purchase supplies and provide immediate support when
needed. Funds are used to pay for children's and family doctor
visits, emergency surgeries, home repairs, disaster relief and prenatal
care.
Besides
monetary donations we are in need of:
•
School Supplies
•
New and Used Clothing (for all ages - with the exception of shorts which
are not worn in Guatemala)
•
Shoes (new and used)
•
Medical Supplies
•
Hygienic Supplies (toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, soap) - small sizes
work really well!
•
Over the counter medicines and first aid items
•
Blankets and Sheets
•
Towels
•
New and Used Toys (even the McDonald's Happy Meal toys are well loved)
•
School Backpacks
New
and Used Sports Equipment
I
am very open to ideas of ways to collect these items. Please let me know if
your church, business, or school would be willing to help. We can make a bigger
difference if we have others who will help us make connections.
Sponsor a
Student:
School
sponsorship is one way to make a huge and immediate difference in a child's
life. Public education is not free in Guatemala and therefore the
majority of indigenous families are faced with the tough choice of sending a
child to school or feeding their family.
You
can go directly to the website to read the bio’s of the children that do not
have a sponsorship yet
We cannot wait to share our journey with
you so that you can see what we have all done together!!
