Francisco's Project on Aura's House (Stage 2)

Hi everyone, Francisco and his sister Evelyn's project is now currently posted
on Aura's House. Aura's House posts fundraisers to help raise funds for children who are sponsored through Children International. We are hoping to raise enough funds to complete the second stage of the project to construct a sturdy room for Francisco's family.


"Evelyn (11) and her brother Francisco (8) of Colombia live with an extended
family of thirteen members in very cramped quarters. Their home consists of one
multi-use room, which is made of brick walls with a zinc metal roof and a dirt
floor. Francisco, Evelyn, their mom, little brother Samy, and new baby sister,
Valentine, sleep in an adjacent room which has a dirt floor, one brick wall,
with the three remaining walls constructed of broken pieces of wood, and odd
scrap of rusty, corrugated metal. The roof is similarly made up of odd bits of
metal with gaps that allow the torrential rains into their living space. This
family is desperately poor and conditions are cramped, hot, and humid. A sturdy
all purpose room and a decent concrete floor for Evelyn and Pancho's family
would improve matters considerably and give them much more comfort and privacy."

To help kick off this project, we are raffling off a $100 Amazon Gift Card OR a
$100 donation to the Charity or Firstgiving Project of your choice (donated by
Steven H.) to one lucky Aura's House donor. All you need to do to enter is to
donate at least $10 to this project between September 2, 2011 and October 15,
2011 at 5PM EST. Each additional donation of any amount over $10 will get you
another entry up until October 15, 2011. (So if you decide to donate $30 for
example, that would get you three entries.) The winner will be chosen at random
on or before October 25, 2011 and notified by email and shortly after the gift
card or donation will be on its way. Whomever wins can choose which they would
prefer."
