A pretty sweet number!

Here's a little recap of the past 3 years, 9 months and how we got to a pretty sweet number....


Because of all of YOU and your generous donations and support, as of July 13, 2017 we have raised and distributed $61,098.10 worth of cash and in-kind donations.....and the best part about it....we're just getting started!
(And yes, I do have a spreadsheet to keep track of all this fun stuff. Nerdy, I know!)  :)

Since the time I left for Honduras in October 2013, I have been doing the best I can to track every donation that has been made to the people of Honduras, Nepal, and the local refugees here in Milwaukee.

bet you can't guess which one is my sister....

Everything you have donated, including that shirt that was hard for you to get rid of or your cabbage patch doll from when you were young, has been greatly appreciated.  Trust me! 



Your donations allow the refugees to shop for what they want

The proceeds from the sale of "Our Earthquake Experience" are continually being tracked and accounted for as well.  As of January 1, 2017 there are more than 193 books in the hands of humans (not aliens, just to clarify.)

Each kid got their own copy and proudly signed their autographs.  :)


I'm not sure who's cuter..... 





Autograph session!

The 1st Annual Milwaukee Run for Refugees was of course included and tracked as well....


What a bunch of good looking people!


The best thing about this dollar amount isn't the monetary amount itself. It's the number of people that we've been able to help and the smiles that have lit up the faces of many individuals from across the globe.



It's been absolutely amazing to see the generosity and kindness that comes from all of you.

On behalf of the people of Honduras, Nepal, and Milwaukee's newest Americans, THANK YOU!
