Currently in Moscow

So much to post! Currently in Moscow with both my girls! It's a little slice of heaven, despite the cold and jetlag! The girls are inseparable. Life is GOOD. S'Novom Godom, everyone!

Where Your Money Went

For almost 10 years, you helped me raise money for my daughter's former orphanage. Sadly, I can no longer raise funds for the children from Orphanage #5, because it closed in June 2015. But we accomplished a lot over the years - and I thank you. Here is what you, my readers, did for the children from 2006-2015.

Your donations have funded:

1. All new furniture in the common rooms (2011)

2. 16 new beds for the girls' room (2008)

3. An updated girls' bathroom (2007)

4. On-going support for medical supplies and clothing (2006-11)

5. A small library (100 books in 2010)

6. Two washing machines (2012)

7. Four televisions and three DVD players. (2009 and 10)

8. 100 educational and/or inspiring children's videos.

9. Arts and craft supplies for 100 children.

10. A new printer for their office.

11. Christmas and Thanksgiving Feasts for all the children for 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.

12. School supplies, educational toys and countless other incidentals from 2006 - 2015.

Thank you!
