Disaster Relief Request
by Sarah Heppenstall 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Dear Neighbors, As we watch the rising death toll in Nepal, and learn more about the pre-earthquake poverty of that nation, many of us are moved to make a financial donation to help the relief efforts. Good for us! As you think about where and how to donate, please keep some things in mind. There are different types of relief agencies: those which spring up with each new disaster and those which have been working in impoverished nations for decades. Your relief dollars will be much better spent when given to agencies with a long history in disaster-prone areas, which using local labor, whose programs are community-centered, and which rebuild economies rather than just handing out temporary aid. In addition, please consider making your donation count not just for this disaster but to help impoverished people for years to come by signing up to send even a small amount ($10 to $25) on a monthly basis to an organization which will develop local resources, network with other NGOs and partner with local and national governments. Such organizations will be in place with the right leadership, equipment, communications, and supplies no matter where the next disaster hits. We recommend Save the Children as such an agency. When you listen to news reports from disasters like the one in Nepal, Save the Children is usually mentioned because they already have programs in almost every impoverished nation in the world. Save the Children is top-rated in Charity Navigator, serves families internationally as well as here in the United States, and works in partnership with those in poverty to establish education, healthcare, employment, micro financing, etc. There are other excellent organizations which do the same kind of work. Rather than donating one-time to one disaster, please consider a more thoughtful, long-term commitment to truly solving the problem of worldwide poverty. Thank-you for considering this request, Sarah & Tal Heppenstall

Looking to Buy Car
by Flavia Musinsky 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

Hello, I'm interested in purchasing a new(er) car. Ideally I'd like: -Toyota or Honda -Around 50,000 miles or less -Around $10,000 or less -Automatic -No older than 2007/2008 If anyone knows or hears of someone selling a car like this, please send them my way! *I will also put up a post in the next month or two to try and sell my current car. Won't be getting rid of it until I get a new car, but if anyone is interested it's a 2003 Hyundai Elantra with 120,000 miles. It's not a beauty, but it's in good condition and never has had any trouble running/starting. Have made many repairs on it (and kept all maintenance receipts) so it should definitely be good for a few more years! Thanks!

Melissa Harris* "In the company of women, it's easier for each of us to remember our own truth. We remember that our lives depend on our capacity to drop all facades and pretenses. We remember the bliss of just accepting that we are here to be ourselves. And, we remember, together, that the most powerful place for us to be, even if it is sometimes terrifying, is fully in our body, so that we can move with the vulnerability and compassion of a broken-open heart."
