Earthquake Devastates St. Joseph Home in Port au Prince

Broken Wings is the Canadian fundraising organization whose primary mission is to support the vision and ministry of the St. Joseph Family in Haiti, which includes the St. Joseph’s Home for Boys in Port-au Prince, Wings of Hope in Fermathe, and Trinity House in Jacmel.

Orphans caring for orphans: a beautiful story

St. Joseph’s Home for Boys was Michael Geilenfeld’s dream that became a reality in 1985, bringing boys off the streets of Port-au-Prince to provide them with a Christian home and family.

When French missionaries announced they were leaving Haiti and needed to find care for the disabled children under their supervision, Michael took some of the older boys from St. Joseph's to choose a child to bring home and care for. But the boys surprised Michael when they chose to adopt all the children. Wings of Hope had become a thriving home for disabled children, recently rebuilt and expanded to include a day school for disabled community children and lovely guest facilities.

For more on the St. Joseph's family of homes for children, visit the Broken Wings website.

jen lee's share the love: a collection of poetry, photography

"I want everyone to have a copy of this. Your stories leave me speechless." ~ Gwen Bell

Fortunes is a collection of original poetry and vintage-style photography by Brooklyn writer and photographer Jen Lee. The book is 5x5--a perfect size for gift-giving or carrying close as you follow your path. Fortunes is printed on high quality paper, full color, saddle-stitched, 28 pages. Treat yourself to something soulful, and keep a copy of Fortunes for your nightstand. Then give the second copy, in its sheer organza gift bag, to one of your dearest companions.

Jen Lee is a Brooklyn-based writer and a collector of stories, many of which unfold in her vibrant neighborhood or in the lives of her closest friends. A performer in NYC's storytelling scene, Jen is also the author of Fortunes and Take Me With You: A Journal for the Journey. (photo by Susannah Conway.)

All proceeds from items sold on the To Haiti with Love auction go directly to the St. Joseph's Family in Haiti. To make a bid, simply leave a comment with the amount of your bid and your email address. The auction will wrap up on February 8, 2010, and winners will be contacted right away to arrange payment and shipping. Good luck!

Sorry, Sandi. Thirty dollars, and I will give you the second copy.

Thirty-five dollars (and I'll give Neil the second copy). The only thing better than getting a copy of the book would be to have an audio version with Jen Lee reading it out loud...Iove her voice (I could listen to her reading the dictionary)
