DONATIONS ARE CLOSED
**UPDATED: Check your email and spam. I just sent out the first 100 donation product packages! **
Unfortunately there are times in life when you need to call on others to help you move forward. For our childhood friend, Jen, now is one of those times. Hurricane Sandy not only destroyed her home, it moved the home 500 yards into a marsh. Nothing was left. This is one view of what it looks like now.

Jen and her husband, Pedro, have two young children. They need all the help and support they can get. They were featured on Dateline on Friday night. That's when you know the situation is bad...You can see them at 2.14 minutes.

Moving forward is now their motto.
Knowing that I had to do something, but just not sure what, I called on my teacher bloggers to help me get Jen and her family moving forward. An amazing bunch of talented teachers have offered up their products to help me raise donations for Jen and her family. I have seen amazing things happen and change lives over the blogger world in the past year. Hopefully, we can do the same!
Now this is where you can help this family get Moving Forward!
For a $20 donation, you will get all of the following products sent to you! The package of 33 units is valued at approximately $200.

How long are you going to be keeping this up? I would love to help out (been in a similar place with Hurricane Ike, just not as much damage to my place) but I need to wait for a check to clear the bank.
ReplyDeleteSherri,

Samantha can you resend the link to me at danella@cox.net please? Mine did not work. Thanks so much. My previous post was supposed to say "may" blessings not "my". Luckily I teach better then I type. :-)
DeleteOops...just saw this! Resending files now!
DeleteSamantha
This is wonderful! Teachers tend to be such giving and compassionate people. I hope that you have tons of donations. I just sent mine! Good luck to you, Jen and her family!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anna. Teachers always seem to ban together when it is needed. =) We are lucky to be so supportive of one another!
DeleteSamantha
I just sent mine via my husband's paypal. Prayers for all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for providing a chance to help someone in this situation - more generous on your part than those of us donating, but an ingenious way to organize help.
ReplyDeletePrayers for all of the families.
Wow! What an amazing cause so glad I found the link to this!! Will be spreading the word! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing cause! So glad I stumbled across the link!! I will be spreading the word! Thank you all!
ReplyDeletePlease consider opening the donations back up. PLEASE!!!! hcarpenter@ebrschools.org
ReplyDeleteAs a new, inner-city teacher of first graders and a native Long Islander, this was really heart warming to see! I'm gathering since the donations are closed that this was a great success. There are still so many families in need; any chance you'd open the donations back up? I'd contribute any items I can...
