Help Bladimy's Dream: Toys for 1,000 Kids
Donation protected
Dear Friends,
Last year, we raised $732, purchased toys for 400 children, and provided food for the poor and hungry in my friend Bladimy’s village in Haiti. This year, Bladimy shared the idea of providing Christmas toys for 1,000 kids in his village, with a fundraising goal of $1,200. I have known Bladimy for almost nine years—we met through a friend who ran a music program for the poor in Haiti. At the time, I needed a trumpet player, and she connected me with one of her instructors, Bladimy! He played trumpet with my makeshift band on a mission trip through Saint Margaret Mary Church, in Winter Park, in 2015. Since then, we’ve become friends and worked together on medical missions with local nurses for local children, community harvest festivals (feeding the community), and caring for the most vulnerable in his village.
On December 10th, Bladimy will host a Christmas party for the children in his village. These families are very poor, and this will likely be the only present they receive. Last year, your generous contributions brought so much joy to so many children and families!
Please consider donating this year to help us. If you are unable to donate, I ask that you keep Haiti and Bladimy in your prayers . Gang violence remains a threat to everyone, and prayers for healing and protection are greatly needed.
Another way to donate: 10% of each purchase of a HeWo (through this special link) will be donated to this cause. COOL NEW! My husband, Paul, and I are the official english voice actors for this amazing Christian product for children!
If you’ve read this far—thank you! I hope you all are enjoying this Advent season, and have a very merry Christmas —and to my Jewish cousins—I hope you have a VERY happy Hanukkah! God bless you, Eva
