In the days after the earthquake, more and more orphaned children showed up at the village, and though the staff is very small, they now watch upwards of 50 babies.

I know that we’ve been inundated to give money for Haiti.  And I know that millions and millions have been raised to help that country.   But places like Ruuska Village are not benefiting from that good will and they need our help.  They are trying their best to stay afloat and rebuild.

A doctor in Florida has said that he will match, up to $100,000 dollars, the amount they raise themselves by THIS Saturday – which is two days away.  This doctor chooses a benefactor each year and Reach Out To Haiti (the official non-profit of Ruuska Village) was his choice this year.  Unfortunately, we have little time.

So I’m asking you to place the Chip In widget on your blog or let others in your social circle know – and talk about Ruuska Village and what they are doing and how others can really help.  FOR TWO DAYS ONLY – FRIDAY and SATURDAY.   Lacey simply needs all the help she can get.

Below are a couple of links that you may find interesting should you choose to do an article on your own blog or participate in your social network.  And if you do, please let me know because I will forever be grateful.
