For now, I'm just stealing stuff off of our myspace. Partially because it's almost 2 in the morning, and partially because that's all of our basic info stuff anyway. [: So here it is folks... (or at least some of it.)
OUR NEEDS:
OUR NEEDS:
Money: always, we will be needing money. Long term, we need $50, 000 to buy a house. Also, we're still in need of money for general items for the trip: stuff we need to buy there [like food and stuff for the kids that we can't buy and ship]. If you'd like to help with that, please let us know!
Leather belts: we're making sweet bracelets out of old leather belts. If you have any you'd like to donate to help with this fundraiser, let us know!
Prayer: please, please, always keep us in your prayers!
Anything else you think might be sweet for us to have or know about or bring or try, please let us know! We love ideas! We love encouragement! Please, subscribe to our blog - that's where all the latest updates are going to be. And tell all your friends about us and to add us! [PS. there is a blog on pretty much all of the things we need, so check the blogs for more info! (those would be the myspace blogs at this point... I'll add them here soon/eventually.)]
SOME STATS ON ORPHANS IN UKRAINE:
--->20% of adolescents in Ukraine have 2 or more socially transmitted diseases [HIV/AIDS, TB, STDs]
--->Of the 15 to 18 year old orphan kids:
...About 10% of them will commit suicide after leaving the orphanage before their 18th birthday.
...60% of the girls will end up in prostitution.
...70% of the boys will enter a life of crime
...Only 27% of these youth will find work.
[This is why we're doing what we're doing]
