***UPDATE 1/16/2010***
We are only focusing on monetary donations at this time to purchase supplies to fill air cargo space. If you are collecting supplies (THANK YOU, THANK YOU), we ask that you hold them until we have further instructions for you of where to ship them to. If you are purchasing supplies please consider these basic items, MOST URGENT ---Kirkland or Enfamil Infant Formula, Rice, Beans, Tuna Pouches (cans are too heavy), Top Ramen, Beef Jerky, Soap (they prefer Ivory), Medicines - Infant and Children's Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen - Pepto Bismal, and disposable diapers. If you have access to prescription medication please see the left hand side of this blog. Thank you all for all of the donations that are coming in, your help is TRULY amazing and appreciated!!!
Below is a flyer that explains the immediate financial needs of Creche Enfant de Jesus, the orphanage is left with less than a week's supply of food, water and formula.
An additional flyer for supplies will be coming in the next 24-48 hours. Please keep in mind, if you or your organization is gathering supplies they will need to be shipped at a moment's notice to make a last minute airline deadline.
Please feel free to link this blog to any of your social networks as well as forwarding this flyer on to anyone you feel can help. This is a desperate situation and your help is more than appreciated!
