Help for Diego!

I am just guessing that this is some of the drinks his aunt sells with the lunches

After all of that work, and standing over an open fire, she still has a smile on her face!

Hey, everyone!

Diego and his aunt are going to get the help that they need. Thanks to Kristen and all of the other Aura's House partners, Deigo will get a chance, and hopefully show a real smile from the inside out. The link to his fundraiser is here: http://aurashouse.com/2009/06/emergency-project-for-diego-of-columbia/
I know Diego needs the nutritional supplements, tuition, uniforms, and textbooks ASAP, so I have started a raffle. He will be delivered the help he needs as the funds are raised little by little. As soon as the first $150 is raised, he will be delivered the Pediasure immediately, and so on (in order of priority).
To help him get the help he needs quickly, here is my offer:

For every $10 donated, you will receive 1 raffle ticket. At the end of the fundraiser, I will get a spread sheet of the donors. I will use this spread sheet to print off the raffle tickets. My daughter Jaden will draw a number out of the hat to determine the winner. The winner will receive a brand new black 4GB Microsoft Zune Video and Music MP3 player found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WG1QRS/ref=ox_ya_oh_product

Thanks everyone for helping out this family!
This is going to change Diego's life forever!

Hi Heather,

Every week we get a spreadsheet from Greg Jones of Children International telling us the amounts donated to our various projects. I then update the site ASAP- usually that day or by Monday the latest. (Christina will do it from July 1-14 when I am out of the country.)

When Diego's project is funded, I can give you the list of names and amounts. You can email the winner directly.

Thanks for spreading the word and we look forward to working with you to help Diego.

Best,
Kristen
