36 days to go

Wilkerson Here:  (OK you caught me.  I am doing this day in advance because I don’t know what my connection will be like.  So jumped ahead and that will give me time to figure it out. )   Thought you might want to read a story about one of the places your pledges will go to help.   Here is a story from Haiti by Cameron Mayhill:  Last August, I was working with a group that came into Haiti. During that trip, my dear friend, Debbie, gave me a gift bag that she wanted me to share with someone. I talked with Melonnie and we agreed on who it should be. I wandered down to the birthing center with Melonnie and found the mom I was looking for. She had just had a beautiful baby boy in our birthing center. Did I mention it births between 90 to 95 babies a month? It is clean and has all the equipment necessary to help moms have successful births. I gave her the bag and she pulled out the blanket. Her smile was so big! She said that she didn’t have a blanket for her child. A simple gift and that is what we need you to help give to moms like these.
