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.

Momma Zen: Walking the Crooked Path of Motherhood

In Momma Zen: Walking the Crooked Path of Motherhood, a mother and Zen priest reveals how the daily challenges of parenthood can become the most profound spiritual journey of our lives. Combining humor, honesty and plainspoken advice, Momma Zen distills the doubts and frustrations of early motherhood into vignettes of Zen wisdom.

"Realized with warmth, engagement and winning honesty." ~ Publishers Weekly

This personally inscribed softcover copy of Karen Maezen Miller's Momma Zen comes with a keepsake writing journal with wide open pages ready to receive your own magically inspired revelations -- and with a handwritten excerpt from the soon-to-be published memoir Hand Wash Cold: Care Instructions for an Ordinary Life penned in the author's script.
