Feel Good Friday…Haiti, Shoes and moreIt has been 2 months since a earthquake devastated Haiti. Thousands died, tens of thousands are homeless and displaced. The devastation is hard to imagine but it is even harder to imagine trying to live without running water, proper sanitation, a normal food distribution network, or a community support system. Look around you right now and imagine not having any of the things you are looking at…a home, or a job, a car, running water, an icebox full of food, clothes, and toilet and on and on. Get up with the clothes on your back and pretend that is all you have for the next 7 days. Pretty hard to get a grip on, right? Now imagine it was over 60 days…impossible to get my mind around. Here is a video of some young Canadian artists doing something:

Here, in Fernley, we are collecting shoes right now to send to Haiti and Chile. Bring your shoes to 198 E. Main St. #9 and drop them in front…you can’t miss all the shoes sitting out in front of the building! Or donate to Soles for Souls...every $5.00 donation will get 2 new pairs of shoes to an impoverished person in the world. Go to www.soles4souls.org and check it out!
Namaste
