My Donation Was More Than Doubled!

I haven't reached 40 donors yet, but I did get to 20 and those 20 friends gave well over $200!  So, I went ahead and donated my $200 as well.  I am so proud to get to be a part of this in memory of my sweet Nandinie.

Thanks to each of you that gave!  I'm so excited to see what God does to continue raising the money Heartline needs to purchase their vehicle.  You can still be a part!  Go give your donation today!

There is an incredible story on the Heartline Runners blog today.  Go check it out!

Almost Half Way!

Hey Friends- I'm gonna keep bugging you until I get what I want- :)

I've got 17 donors so far! That's almost half way to my goal of 40 friends total. And, several people have donated more than $5 so Heartline Runners have already received over $145 in honor of Nandinie! I'm so excited because that means my donation will definitely be more than doubled!

Here are a couple of comments that friends have made when they let me know they had made their contribution:

"I just went to the site to pay and was so touched I made a $50 donation.
Thanks for sharing this great ministry..."

"I made a contribution today. I also cried like a baby reading their blog."

Please don't forget!  I'm just asking for $5 that will go to an incredible ministry that provides real and tangible help to women and babies in Haiti.  Go here and make your donation today!

Too Much Weekend

Well, we've obviously had too little structure and too much fun around here lately.

After 2 weeks of fall break, during which we made a trip to Oklahoma, we then sent the kids back to school only to have a surprise 3 days off due to a blizzard. Following that came Halloween and yesterday Monika and John spent the day with a friend as part of my 'respite' plan.

Combine all of that and we're dealing with some regression around here. John can't sound out the letter 'e' and Monika just wrote a long paragraph full of nonsense because she can't remember how to sound out the easy words that she was able to write, no problem, last week.

They've both been given notice. They know that I know they are too tired to make good choices so they will be getting some extra rest tonight if they can't show the effort that is expected asap.

15 Friends Have Accepted My Challenge!

Now I just need 25 more!



I've already had 15 friends accept my challenge! And, because several of them have given more than $5- Heartline has received over $135 in Nandinie's name! Praise God!

Don't know what I'm talking about? Read the previous post and join in on the fun! I am so excited to get to help out such an amazing cause in honor of our precious baby girl who is in heaven.
