Change begins right here. Right now. With you.

Our goal is to place change jars in as many locations as possible around the country. Put a jar on your desk at work, put jars in the classrooms at your kids' school, take jars to local businesses. All you have to do is print a label, attach it to a jar and put it out there. When you are ready, count your money, then make a direct donation right here on this site.

Help for the Pediatric Ward of a hospital in Port-au-Prince

As many of you know, my friend, Elizabeth, is currently in Port-au-Prince trying to get her adopted daughter, Lily, out of the country. Lily has been living with an amazing family led by Mona Gedeon for the last 2.5 years. Mona is a pediatric nurse and a remarkable person on many levels. She has sent out a call for help on behalf of the children she serves - they need diapers, wipes, formula, non-perishable food items and clothes. Shipping these item is a difficult logistics issue at the moment, so Liz's husband, Tim, is leading an effort to raise $2,000 in the next week. The funds will go directly to a point person in Miami (namely Liz's mother) who will purchase the supplies and hand them directly to an aid organization, who will then take the supplies directly to Mona and her children. If you would like to be part of this effort, please consider donating now using the following link. I am personally connected to this effort and will vouch for its authenticity at every level. Thank you for your support.

  1. There's an article on the front page of the Roanoke Times on Liz and Lily today! I'm assuming that's them...if not, it's a very strange coincidence that the names are the same!
