Can You Lend A Hand ?


I don't know how many people actually read my blog, but to the few that do I am asking for a little help. A friend of mine is trying to raise money for a really good cause. If you can help in any way please do.

Bethune Elementary School has an amazing staff and a wonderful student body made up of some of the poorest, brightest children you have never heard of. These kids are amazing. Over 98% of the Bethune students live at or below the national poverty level and the overwhelming majority of these babies live in homes and apartments that are so dilapidated and unstable that you would be surprised that people are still allowed to live that way in 2008. This isn’t play poverty – this is the real deal!

And the blessing is that you have an opportunity TODAY to be a bright spot in the lives of these children. This Christmas, we want every single child (about 500 students) in this school to have a NEW SCHOOL UNIFORM and a FUN TOY to call their own. If YOU don’t help, many of these kids simply won’t receive anything at all this Christmas, but we believe that God is going to use you to be a blessing to these beautiful children.
Each school uniform will be well-designed and custom ordered for each individual child and every toy will be ordered based on the wish lists that we received from the students.


For more info on this worthy cause please go to 500 Uniforms.
