Something you may want to be a part of

The Yahoo group for Ruthie's orphanage (that I am a part of) has been paying for 2 full time PTs to work in her orphanage for the last couple of years. This year's fundraiser has not gone as well because of the economy. They just extended it by a few weeks in hopes of making up the difference. I have seen several pictures of the PTs working with the children in the therapy room at the orphanage. My dream would to be able to help these PTs through a short term trip some day. Would you consider giving to being able to keep these guys treating the hundreds of special needs kids there? They are about $2000.00 short, but every $10 gift makes a difference.

Here is the info:
