Updated “Chip In” Widgets

Uncategorized 1 Comment

Tom here with some rather mundane housekeeping type of things…..

  • When we set up the “chip ins” on the right side of the page, I had to put an expiration date in them.    That date has now passed.
  • The needs aren’t anywhere close to having passed.

So I’ve set up two new ones.   One is for medical equipment.   We were approximately $8,000 into our $20,000 goal for the new medical equipment that we need.

The other is for the earthquake rebuilding fund.   I’m calling it the rebuilding fund because it’s in many ways moved beyond the initial disaster recovery and is more into the rebuilding stage.   We raised over $180,000 on the blog due to the generosity of so many of you for that, and we thank you for that immensely.

The goal that I’ve set “out there” is that I’d like to see the GLA community come up with an additional $1,000,000 in the next 12 months for use for helping staff rebuild their homes, helping their community and getting GLA into a new earthquake and hurricane proof home.

How can you help us help in Haiti?

Thanks,

Tom Vanderwell
