March Madness 4

Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone!   While I do not have any claim to the Irish, I can say that St Patrick himself was a wonderful role model of humbleness and forgiveness that everyone should copy and I like to teach my children how to emulate him in those ways. If you are of Irish descent,  I hope you are enjoying your day!   Anyway, I am popping on to write this email today as we are halfway through the month and our March Madness Fundraiser. Donations are trickling in and we are so grateful to all of you, who have taken the time to sit down and send in your donation! Any and Alldonations are so crucial and we are encouraged when we see yours~ Thank you!    If you haven't been able to send one in yet, don't feel bad as there is still time! You can donate through Facebook, our website, and the old fashioned way of sending a check to PHFTC 6983 Chase Rd, Fabius, NY 13063. And here is where some of that money goes for: Travel! My traveling to and from Romania can be expensive and I am going twice this year. (Once for my normal work trip and once to lead a small team of women over to hold babies at our Sibiu Hospital and to bless some of the other foundations we partner with. Let me know if you are interested in going) Last year,travel made up 16% of our budget. We need to pay for airfare, transportation across the border into Romania, Airbnb housing, rental car, food, etc. We shop for the best deals and our conscientious of our money, but still it requires several thousand to make the trips happen. Here is an excerpt from 2018's expenses for a two-week work trip:   Airline flight- $1300   Car Rental- $460   Fuel- $185   Housing- $725   Meals- $642   Taxi- $120   Other Travel Expenses - $220 I am staying longer this year, which will allow me more time in each hospital location, with our employees, our partner foundations, and in the shopping of supplies so you understand that that the cost will be more. If you would like to help us meet this budget need, we would so appreciate it! Thank you for your support and interest! Blessings, Mona Edit

March Madness 3

Hello Again!

PHFTC buys supplies and gives those supplies to the hospitals or foundations. We do not give money as I want to be 100% sure that our money is being used appropriately. However, there are always many needs..

This month, I am looking for new monthly sponsors! (and the return of old ones:)

For the amount of $12 a month,(or multiples of that) you could help with the purchasing of three boxes of cereal. When I first entered the hospital 16 years ago, the cribs were filled with emaciated babies. Carrot juice and a cream of wheat mixture was the diet unless someone donated formula. It was heartbreaking to see! One of the first things I started buying was rice cereal to fill their tummies and help put weight on their bodies. Still to this day, we supply cereal to the children in our first hospital. 


Also, toys are always a part of our budget as the babies and children in our care at the hospital sit in their cribs all day, every day. Please consider becoming a monthly sponsor at $10 day (or other multiples of 10). This, for example, would provide two or more toysfor the stimulation and comfort of these children.


Please consider sacrificing a "coffee" or two a month to send us a donation for these amounts. It can be a donation every month or you can make one time donation for the whole 12 months.  You can make the donation on our website or send a check to PHFTC, 6983 Chase Rd, Fabius, NY 13063

Thank you for your compassion and generosity!

Blessings,

Mona

Quotes for Good

Good Morning All!

  Just a quick email to say a thank you to our first friend for committing to be a monthly sponsor.  We still need fifteen more new donors this month. Why is this a big deal? Because it is so much easier for us to commit to projects and helping others when we can plan on a certain amount being in our budget.

If this is something you cannot do, please do not feel pressured! One time donations are just as valuable and we  do understand when someone just cannot donate for various reasons. We still are grateful for your interest, prayers and other ways in which you help PHFTC!

Also, for the month of March, we are collaborating with State Farm for our March Madness Fundraising! If you stop by or call Van Travis (father to two awesome kids from Romania) at State Farm Agency, to get a quote and mention Project Hope for the Children, they will in turn donate $10 to our organization! No purchase necessary. Please share with your friends!
