Your help is needed.....

Our orphanage Crèche de l'Enfant Jèsus has teamed up with "Soles United" (www.solesunited.com) and YéleHaiti, Wyclef's foundation (www.yele.org) to deliver 10,000 pairs of Crocs to Haiti. The exciting part is that they have space on the plane to take 2500 pounds of food to OUR children - MY CHILD will benefit from this. All this food is going to our creche. So that's why I need your help!

We want to fill 200 flat rate postage boxes and get them to the creche. We have short notice on this project so please please take the time to get just one box from the post office and fill it with the supplies listed on the flyer. (Click to make it larger) If you are unable to get Kirkland brand formula from Costco you may substitute Enfamil Lipil with Iron. It will cost around $50 total for the items in the box and shipping. Please if you are able to help in this way it would be so appreciated.

As you may have read in the news there is a major food shortage in Haiti so we (the families of the children at our creche) are trying to stockpile the food for our kid so that if something should happen and we cannot get food to them for a month or two there will be a reserve.
Click on the flyer to get a list of food items for the box and the address to send it to. If you would like to see how we are doing with our 200 box count check out: http://chances4childrendonations.blogspot.com/ where our favorite C4C Mom/Volunteer is keeping a countdown of boxes needed. If you do decided to participate in our box drive please email her at the address on the flyer.
