What a Looooong, Strange Trip It's Been

Posted by: LongStrangeTrip, 5:31 PM GMT on June 15, 2010

Hey, friends! Portlight needs your support to help a young family in Haiti.

I know things are tough here in our own country, but they're still pretty rough in Haiti, too, and these folks really need a hand. Dad is pushing to find a new job, after being laid off several weeks ago. He has a wife and beautiful, 6-month-old son, and helps to support other family members, as well. Ron and I are donating a laptop to them, so that Dad can pick up freelance computer work. They just need some help getting by until they have a regular income again.

Can you help? Maybe donate this week's coffee or lunch money, or the contents of your change jar? If so, please visit the Portlight website to donate thru the PayPal button. Be sure to mark your donation "For Haiti Family".

Thank you all for your generous and warm support of Portlight and our efforts at home and in Haiti!

"God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both of their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them." - BonoThis afternoon will mark three weeks since Haiti was devastated by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, creating a disaster of biblical proportion...
