Global Food Crisis Day 3-11-09

It's been super crazy around here lately.. Adam has had two surgeries in a week and has one of his follow ups tomorrow. Caleb got his shin cut open at school the day the younger boys and I were leaving town for Adam's surgery last week and had to have stitches and got those out today. Then last Tues., Nathan was riding Noah's bike with a friend and bumped his friends bikes tire and crashed and flew over the handle bars and landed on his hands and rolled and tore up his hands and scraped up the rest of his body.. So his hand is healing and Adam and Caleb have had stitches.. SO FAR Noah and I are the only semi normal ones. lol

ANYWAY!!!!

There are children that are dying and going with out food RIGHT NOW!! Did you know it only takes $13.00 to feed a child for A MONTH?? Just THIRTEEN DOLLARS!! You feed your family for more than that in one meal at a fast food!! Families in other countries just to help their children not feel so "hungry" they have to feed them "DIRT COOKIES". It is DIRT, LARD, WATER mixed to make "COOKIES". There is NO nutrition on them.. Its just to put something in their stomachs to help with the hunger because they have NO FOOD!

I told my boys "And you complain if dinners a little late or say you are "starving" if I won't give you cookies or snack or something and look at these kids who are REALLY STARVING! DIRT COOKIES people! When I heard that I started crying!! How much more do we have versus these other people in these countries!!

If you read this go to this website and do what you can to donate to Compassion website http://www.compassion.com/global-food-crisis/?referer=98493&utm_campaign=gfcradio-def-98493 .. Just $13.00 will feed a child for a month!! Lets see how many we can feed by midnight!!
