We need your help!

Have you ever wondered how you can help some of the many Orphans in Africa? Or worried that your donation is not going to make it into the proper hands? Well here is your chance to help with the surety that your donation will go directly to the children who need it most. When Shawn and I travel to Ethiopia we have reserved two of our suitcases to transport supplies that are needed both by our orphanage and AHOPE orphanage that is up the street from our son's. AHOPE is a wonderful orphanage that houses only HIV positive children. More information can be found at http://www.ahopeforchildren.org/ Both have contacted us with their needs. If you would be willing to donate any of these supplies we would greatly appreciate your help in filling our suitcases. Drop the donation by our home anytime and we'll make sure it gets packed into our bags. In addition, we have contacted a relief organization here in SLC who has offered to sell us many of the supplies at a fraction of what they can be purchased for at the store. So, if you are the type that prefers to write a check we would be happy to take care of the rest for you. Please let Shawn and I thank you ahead of time.
