Food for the poor

Hello all!! Hope everyone had a great weekend! When we went to church yesterday, there was a priest there from a non-profit group called "food for the poor". He was telling us about all the different things that your money goes to- like:

$21 will provide a meal for 420 children!

$36 will feed 3 families for a month!

$50 will help provide medical and nutritional aid for severely malnourished children!

$90 will provide a goat to supply milk!

$205 will provide a water pump for a village!

$2600 (or a pledge of $174/month for 15 months) will provide a needy family with a home!

There is also a bank in FL (where the company is located) that - if you want the house built in Nicaragua they will match your donation and build a 4 room/2 family house!! If you donate to build a house you can have a plaque put in front of the house with a name on it and you will receive a picture of the house, plaque and family!

So, this got my mom and I thinking-- can we raise $2600 and have a house built?!? I think we can!! I know its a lot of money and its close to the holidays so it may take some time to raise but WE CAN DO IT!

We wanted to have the plaque say Grams name (since shes the reason we started this group) and under it put either GiGi or GiGi's Gang.

If you would like to donate- PLEASE let me know and I will let you what needs to be done!

(if you would like a envelope kit to donate something on your own- let me know as well- I took a few of them and I can give you one)
