Reposted from Facebook--Haiti orphanage relief effort

Jan 13, 2010 21:54

The orphanage my church supports in Port-au-Prince was destroyed. From what I can tell, everyone survived, but two of the girls were hurt pretty badly. Obviously, medical and charity workers are going to be overwhelmed for a while. NBC came out and did a news segment on the church today, and we'll be doing a special collection this week to help ( Read more... )

I'd be interested! I can't give that much since I don't make that much but I'll give something?

Wow, that'd be so generous of you. Every little bit helps. If you're interested, you could mail a check to
St. Matthew's Church
Attn: Haiti Relief
2300 Ford Road... See More
Newport Beach CA 92660

and put Haiti Relief in the subject line, or just give me the money (I don't know when I'd see you, though), and I'll take it in.

Okay awesome! Thanks for the address~~
I still want to visit you and your church!
Though I'll just mail the money in since I dunno when I can visit and I want to do it while I'm thinking about it. (I can be so forgetful sometimes XD;)

Maybe we should set a date? I like set dates. That usually means it'll happen if it's planned. XD

That's cool. Just tell me what date you *want* to come. The 24th? The 31st? Later than that?

Hmm, my brother will be moving back to my grandma's soon and it'll be easier for me to get away. (I'll feel better knowing someone's at the house with my grandma and I won't have to call someone in.)
Let's say the 31st! If something comes up I'll let you know and we can change it.

Actually, I just remembered that the 31st is our annual meeting/barbeque, so I'm likely to be there for a few hours longer than usual and don't want to hold you up. Maybe the week after that so you have time to arrange for your brother to be there, if the 24th is too soon?

Oh! Okay.
Hmm, I think the 24th is too soon because I'm not sure if my bro will be here by then.
Soo...I think the week after that should be okay! :D (That would be...Feb. 7th?)
