Help Save A Child's Heart...

Some of our dear friends have teamed up with Preemptive Love Coalition and committed to raising enough money to pay for a life saving heart surgery for a child in Iraq, before the birth of their son in July.

Katy is a talented photographer and they are selling beautiful, handmade stationary to help raise $670 {yes! That's ALL it takes to save a child's life}  for PLC.

Here is what they are doing ...
{K, I am just posting verbatim what you said on your blog}

             In honor of our second son's birth we are so very excited to join the Preemptive Love Coalition in raising enough money for at least one child's life-saving heart surgery.

We have talked often about PLC on this blog and absolutely love the work they do. Our close friends, the Fishers, are some of the founding members and working hard to make incredible stuff happen in Iraq where they live. You will not be disappointed if you take a couple minutes to see what they're doing!

Their work enables a child to receive a life-saving heart surgery for $670. (Amazing!)

So our goal is to raise at least $670 by our baby's birth day, late July 2011!

One of the ways we're going about raising these funds is selling handmade stationary.

We would be so honored if you would consider purchasing a set (or two!) to help us work towards this goal.

Please visit my Etsy shop to purchase (I'm new to this so bear with me!) where you can pay with a credit card, or if you'd like to discuss different payment or ordering methods shoot me an email at mary.kathryn.rose(at)gmail(dot)com.

Here are a few more details

Each set includes 6 cards and 6 envelopes

Each card features landscape photography prints (by Katy) mounted on 4"x5.5" textured card stock

All sets include a combination of cream and white stationary and envelope

Each set $10, plus $2 to ship

Thank you for joining with us!

devastation

My heart hurts for the people of Haiti. I cannot even fathom the uncertainty, loss and the feeling of the unknown that they must be experiencing right now. A lady that my mom works with lost her sister over there. Such horrific devastation. I wish I had tons and tons of money to send their way, but I don't. I do know that every little bit helps and prayer always helps!

There are so many ways you can donate. You can text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross

You can donate through Compassion, any amount that you wish HERE

World Vision also offers you the chance to donate a specific amount of your choosing here

These are just a few of the many ways you can help out... We opted to go through Compassion.
