Dear Blog Watching Friends,
Unfortunately with all the wonderful photos you see on this blog, we have used up our initial storage space to allow photos. Google gives you 1G of space and as of this morning after over a year on the blog with tons and tons of pictures, we have reached our limit. Early this morning, I purchased 10G more storage, but google tells me it will be 24 hours before I have access to it.
James sent me the most compelling and dear Valentine Message for you - with photos (of course) but it seems it will be late tonight or Monday before photos can be added to this blog again. :(
Please check back often. It is important.
In the meantime, we are still far from reaching our necessary goal of $10,000 rent on March 1st. Less than 15 days from now, if we don't make it...St. Laurence House is shut down and James, Kadijah, Lucy, Ann Marie and little Roo are out on the streets along with all of our provisions for those in need. It will be a bitter blow, not only for Nazareth House Apostolate, but for the people who depend on us to survive and move forward in Sierra Leone.
When you depend on the compassion implemented through donations, it is difficult to plan. This is the reason that urgent and immediate requests like this pop up for us. We've accomplished so much this year with the little we've received. We have completed construction and opened a school. We provided every child with uniforms. Students numbers are increasing daily. Now that the school is open we are maintaining the needs to further and continue. We feed many people in Freetown as well as provide school fees for continuing education, pay hospital fees, provide medical attention and medicines for the sick, provide housing, ...you name it, NHA is doing it.
The landlord is firm and posed to take back the rental property if we don't come through. Its not that he is being mean or anything. We made a deal to be out by March 1st (hoping to have purchased our own property); we couldn't raise the money, and the landlord (who wants the property for personal use) was granting us a favor by extending it through 2009. If you remember, he did not want to rent it even in 2008!
