Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished:
If you're alive, it isn't.
--- Richard Bach

I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody [to no one]
--Mother Teresa


We were not separated at your birth.
It was the moment at which we began our journey toward each other

Double Stroller Giveaway

I want to make sure to keep this at the top of my blog:

Edited: Stroller Giveaway ending May 31, 2009

I have decided what my next fund raising cause will be; I told you I had an idea brewing and I have come to a decision. This one feels really good. I have always wanted to do something big like this in Vietnam; Change the life of a WHOLE family.
When I traveled to Vietnam in 2007, to bring home my children, I could not believe what I saw. Families (Not 1 but thousands) living in conditions I would not consider adequate for my dog to live in (The average ANNUAL household income in Vietnam is less then $300 US per year); Shacks with dirt floors, no windows or doors and a tarp or cardboard boxes for a roof. I could not leave these people behind, come home to my cushy life in the US and forget what I had seen. I vowed to myself I would try and make a difference. Together WE are going to build a house (or hopefully two) for a very poor family in Vietnam. For every $10 donated you get one entry; Each $25.00 donation will get you three entries (Entries with US addresses ONLY; Anybody can donate to cause-I just can't afford to ship it overseas). If you DONATE AND Blog (with Link back to this blog post) and post my widget about my giveaway you will get an extra entry. Leave a comment here with the link to your blog post to get your extra entry. Even if you don't need a double stroller this can turn into a SINGLE stroller, it would make a awesome baby shower gift, donate it or sell it on craigs list or ebay. It's just 10 bucks so take a chance you just might win the stroller but the true prize is what you will have done to improve another human beings life. Random number generator will be used to pick the winner. Please pass this along it is for a very worthy cause. I need at least 175 donations to make this dream a reality. You can donate by paypal OR credit card through the chip in widget. If you have a paypal account I would prefer you use this because they charge me a fee for the credit card. Credit card payments are fine if you do not have a paypal account.

    Hi, I saw your request for a twin blogroll - I have one on mine at

    www.trahvinh-ottawa.blogspot.com

    I took a few off that were not useful to me. Try googling to find more.

    Thanks for your comments on my blog. It is wonderful to have 2 so close in age MOST of the time. On occasion is the "Mommy needs a time out" moment. :-)

    Just left my donation. Such an awesome idea Heather, and I really hope you can reach your target. So glad I learned about GIBTK through you and I really appreciate you providing a way to let us all be a part of something bigger together.

    Such a great idea! I just sent my donation. Just found your blog through Pho for Five.

    I gave a donation. I'm sure my few bucks will make a bigger difference to those folks than it will to me. I hope you reach your goal.

    This is really, really great. I truly hope you make your goal. I'm impressed and inspired by your initiative. I finally made a donation; I've been meaning to do it for days now, so what better time than 5:00 a.m., just before I go to bed for the first time "tonight?"

    (Fingers crossed for me - a double stroller is in order right now!)
