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.

one-year advanced blogging plan with squarespace: new! revised starting bid

Squarespace is divine. Not only does this platform allow me to achieve exactly the kind of websites I envision aesthetically, but it gives me the tools to make those websites and communities highly compelling and functional.

Every blog I've founded or contribute to is built on the Squarespace platform -- Glow in the Woods, Shutter Sisters, my author site, my book site, the Haiti auction site and my personal blog, sweet | salty. Anyone who expresses an interest in blogging gets tackled to the ground with my Squarespace enthusiasm. I can't recommend it enough. ~ Kate Inglis

The Squarespace Advanced Package is great for more sophisticated websites requiring multiple editors and more robust site structures. Features are listed here, including a custom URL for a clean, brandable blog name; plenty of storage and bandwidth; tools for deep and flexible navigation; and the ability to host multiple audiences, memberships and email subscriptions, and private views.

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.
