TO HAITI...WITH LOVE! 02/10/2010
When news of the earthquakes in Haiti came, we as the whole world watched in horror as we saw the devastation there. Our hearts went out to the people of Haiti and all of us wanted to do something to help. We looked into a few things and quickly realized it would be difficult to accomplish. Just last week one of our new team members Skyler Crump, decided to do his eagle scout project to gather items for Haiti! A friend of his father's has a private jet that was planning to leave on the 11th with humanitarian aid! Skyler contacted T.J. and Jake and asked if the foundation could help! We were all so excited! We made up a flyer and delivered 200 of them. We called friends and neighbors and sent out emails! We made a trip to our FOH storage unit and brought home bags and bags of clothing items that have been donated to us! For the last 5 days we have been going through bags and boxes, separating clothes, and boxing items to send! Last night we finished! We are sending 14 boxes of clothing, 1 box of sandals, 1 box of 147 cloth diapers, 6 boxes packed with over 100 blankets, and 5 tents!! All of this will be delivered to an orphanage and those living close by, about 40 min. from the city of Port O Prince. We would like to thank all of those who donated items to this cause and thank Skyler for including us in his project and allowing us to help these children and families in Haiti! A few changes 02/10/2010
As a foundation we have made a few changes. We want everyone to be aware of those. A board of directors has been added to help the boys with planning and finances. As parents we want to support them all in their goals with the foundation! Blake (President) and A.J. (V.P) are working very hard at school and are in the running to win the state debate competition! If they do win and make it to Nationals this spring it could mean a full scholarship for each of them! They are working long, hard hours toward this goal and we are committed to taking some of the "busy" work off of their plates for a while to help them succeed! The other boys are also working hard at school to maintain their grades and set an example of the importance of education,we are so proud of all of them! This in NO WAY changes the foundation our its goals in the future. This is a foundation run by teens and they are the ones doing the bulk of the work toward goals. We have merely stepped in (officially) to help out and give them the support they need to succeed! We have recently added several new members and will continue to update you. We want to tell the boys how proud we are of all of them and let Blake and A.J. know we will do our best to help them in any way! We love you all! Mom, Dad & Kara |
