Service for a service animal

Last night and this morning some friends of mine (Rebecca, Jared, and Jeana) came over to my place to build a wheel chair for an injured service animal. The animal is a dog that belongs to a deaf girl who goes to my school. While I love to do service for others, I would not call myself handy by any means. Thankfully the other three people involved are great with designing and building just about anything. With a couple of trips to the hardware store and a few hours of their hard work and my encouragement in the form of pie, it looks like the dog will have a new wheel chair, the student will have her dog back, and perhaps some good karma will be thrown in the general direction of me and my dear friends.

Help for Haiti

I have several friends who have expressed a desire to help the people of Haiti, but aren't sure how to do that. One friend of mine, Robin, would love to go over and help out, but that isn't possible right now. I think that we can all keep the people of Haiti in our thoughts and prayers, but we can also help them to rebuild by making donations to reputable agencies like the Red Cross. The official site is www.redcross.org
.
You can also donate through the LDS church. The website for the church is lds.org and you can find a link there to make a donation. Service or donations of any kind not only helps those we are giving to, but it helps us to become better people.

I hope we all take the time to be thankful for the blessings that we have in our lives. Not only the conveniences and luxuries that we enjoy, but also the loved ones that we have around us.

Much love,
Tracy
