Already several people have asked about contributions; here is the protocol. There is not a link on my blog or on any of the websites for contributions. To donate, I have to ask you to mail a check, or cash if you like, to the address of the Episcopal Diocese that is provided in the first post. All money that is sent to that address will reach me; we set things up this way so contributions are tax deductable. If you donate on the Kids Connection Haiti website, that money will not go to me, although those donations go to a great cause as well.
I mentioned that some groups of people had already made contributions; several members of St. Peter's church in Lewes, Delaware have given generously. The funding that I have received thus far has come from several small contributions, and gifts like this really do help. The distance from Washington D.C. to Port au Prince is 2302 kilometers. That means $20 equates to 10 km, $50 for 25 km, $100 for 50 km, and so on. Every little bit counts!
In the first post I was enthusiastiac about getting in contact with anyone who might want to provide assistance... and then I neglected to leave any contact information. So, if you would like to contact me I can be reached at copolicr@gmail.com.
Finally, for anyone in the DC area, KCH will be holding a fundraiser for the organization this Friday from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at the Town Tavern in Adams Morgan. With a suggested donation of $5, beer and rail drinks will cost you $2 a drink. Come out if you are able and support a good cause while you relax at week's end... plus I'll be there. It's a win-win.
Thanks, more info will continue to come!
