We learned that orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes. -David Platt

One Week To Go!

I'm down to the final week before I head to Haiti!  I have been blown away by the generosity of my friends and family to support this trip.  God has blessed me so abundantly though all of you.  Every time I think I'm done receiving donations, another one will come through online or another check will come in the mail.  Then I get to head back to the store to buy more supplies for the Pediatric ward where I'll be working next week.  I've bought out Target's entire supply of children's tylenol more than once in the past week :) 

Last night I started packing some of the supplies I've accumulated over the past several months and was surprised by how much stuff I've gathered.  I already have two giant bags full of medications, diapers, formula, and medical supplies, most of which was purchased with your donations.  I love going on these trips, but it truly wouldn't be possible without the help and support of so many.  I can not say thank you enough for making this possible!
