Haiti needs our help

Friends and Family…

As you all know Haiti is in a world of hurt. WATER – One of the precious things we take for granted every day, is unavailable for those in Haiti. While watching the news the other night I couldn’t help but feel for those that, amongst all the chaos, couldn’t even find a drink of water. It was disheartening watching the eyes of children, scared, injured, hungry and thirsty. Although the world is helping, nothing is happening fast enough.

I have been able to make arrangements with an air cargo carrier to ship pallets of water from Miami to Haiti. They ship on a Boeing 727-200 which can accommodate only 20,000lbs of cargo due to restrictions placed on the runway in Haiti. Each pallet of water weighs 1987lbs and contains 1680 bottles of water. Miami based airline, Amerijet International, Inc. has teamed up with World Fuel Services to donate a relief flight(s) from Miami to Port-au-Prince, Haiti and they will include as much water as they can accommodate.

In addition to working with Amerijet I was placed in contact with Project Medishare, and through them, Royal Caribbean cruise line has agreed to “take as much water as we can give”. They have a resort on Haiti in a place called Labadee that was not damaged by the earthquake and they can get ships with supplies in. Project Medishare www.projectmedishare.org <http://www.projectmedishare.org> will distribute the water and other items we are able to send.

Mango International, an international freight company has agreed to move the water from the Costco warehouse to its final location for shipping by air and boat at no charge.

So far, I have managed to get the water shipped from the warehouse to its point of departure free of cost. Costco has made a $500,000 donation to the relief effort and I haven’t been able to procure the water free of cost. That’s where you come in. Each pallet of water contains 1980, 16.9oz bottles and cost only $225. That’s getting a lot of people water! Any help you can provide with these pallets will touch and sustain the lives of many. I don’t have an elaborate system for obtaining donations. You can write a check, make it to Redwood Credit Union and write “Haiti Water” on the memo and send it to:

California Reverse Mortgage Consultants

Or you can deliver it by pay-pal to ronkamler@hotmail.com

100% of the funds will be used to purchase water, food and any other urgent needs items. Please let me know via phone 707-322-5330 or email ronkamler@hotmail.com what you can assist with and I’ll advance the money to make immediate purchases.

Please forward to your friends and family, we can make a difference and simple difference in someone’s lives.

The Mystery House

By, Tyler Cato
Miss Duncan's 2nd grade class
   

I knocked at the door. "Hello," I called. No one answered. I knocked at the door again. Still no answer. I opened the door and the hinge creaked. It was haunted. I groaned, It was dark and creepy. I heard footsteps and a big green monster came out of the shadows. I jumped when I saw him. It was Frankenstein. He stood there. He said to come in. I said, "OK". I went inside, I saw Dracula and his werewolf. I saw Mrs. Mummy and Mr. Mummy. Then I saw baby Jr. Mummy. I saw all of Frankenstein's friends. Then I went upstairs. The stairs creped me out! I saw a spider web and a black widow. Upstairs I saw a skeleton, and a pumpkin head with a person under the pumpkin. I didn't see the bats right in front of me. Then I looked out the window and I saw Mitchell. I went back down stairs, opened the door, and said, "Hi, do you want to come in?" Mitchell said, "ya", so I let him in. We went to the backyard. We saw so many graves, it made us jump. I showed Mitchell the ghost in the car, in the haunted car and the skeleton too. Mitchell laughed. I laughed too. We went back inside, then we went upstairs. I showed him what it was like. I found a secret room, It was a bedroom. I found a table on the side of the bed. Where was the heater? I was freezing cold. I got scared. We were cold. I had nothing to do. I looked out the window. Everyone was watching Mitchell and I. We walked toward the door. The door shut on Mitchell and I. Mitchell and I fell into a trapdoor. I hit a comforter. Mitchell landed on me. I said, "Mitchell get off of me, please!" Mitchell said, "OK, OK"! So he got off of me. The room smelled like nobody was there for 49 million years. It smelled awful, I needed to plug my nose. I got up and I helped Mitchell up too. There was a trampoline there. I got on it and so did Mitchell. I did a flip in the air, then Mitchell did a flip in the air too. I bounced off of the trampoline, so did Mitchell. I started to walk on a mattress. I walked off of the mattress. I turned the corner. I saw Doctor Evil Noah with his evil monsters Even P and evil Evan Hall. Then I picked up a rock and threw it. I ran as fast as I could. I ran through the trap door. I ran through the secret door as fast as I could. I ran back downstairs and I said, "goodbye", and ran right out the door.
