You know when something horrible happens, how we stayed just glued to the TV. All of the terrible and tragic things our world is faced with breaks my heart. But when I saw those little kiddos being carried out of that rubble...my heart literately broke. I just kept thinking about my family, and how truly blessed I am. Life can throw us all curve balls, and we all have days that we think we just have it so bad. Then, something like this happens. Like what just happened across OK.
My hubby kept saying "Ash, how many people do you think are homeless?"
I really, really do not want to think about those numbers. Or the number of parents that are burying their little guys.
I finally decided, with tears in my eyes, to turn to my friends in the blogging community. Within MINUTES..I had so many people offer to help.
So here we are offering a fundraiser. This is your chance to give back and receive a tremendous amount of teacher created products.
I will take donations until May 28, 2013!!!
For a $25.00 Donation, you will receive over $250 worth of teaching products! ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO THE RED CROSS OKLAHOMA CITY!!!

ReplyDeletey'all are doing a wonderful thing. Got a confirmation email, but it says I am blocked from Google Docs
ReplyDeleteI'm blocked from filling out the google docs form. It may be because you are so overwhelmed with donations. My email is lizpolston at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI wanted to help but had to wait until I got paid today, but am not sure if you already closed this. I did donate using my faugrad@aol.com email but when I went to fill out the google doc it said access denied. I requested access from my Carla.Cundiff@gmail.com account. I know too many email accounts!
ReplyDeleteI also could not get access to the Doc. Here is my email. Thank you so much for doing this. I'm glad I could help in someway!

ReplyDeleteThank you for doing this I just finished donating and I was happy to do it! I'm from Alabama, but now live in California so I know how tragic the storms are, but cannot imagine the pain the teachers are feeling. My prayers are with them. I can't wait to see all the goodies too! I tried to do the google docs, but couldn't "save" it. I'm hopeful I did it correctly. My email is Smalbright@yahoo.com Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe google doc problem should be fixed, however, you may just e-mail me at Benoitcreated@gmail.com if you have not received your file! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!
