Haiti drive continues...They are still asking for help!

HI All,
This is an email I received from the lady I have been working with at For Every Child. I have been amazed how much we have been able to collect. As you can see by reading Deanns Email, your donations have made a huge impact. However, our work is not done. I will continue to collect formula, bottles, cloth diapers for the children but please look over this new list and provide anyway you can for the other people of Haiti. You can bring them to my house and I will get them to where they need to go or you can take them to Deanns home.
I am so grateful to all my friends for collecting, forwarding emails and helping me in this cause. It really means a lot to me and I am overwhelmed by the love I feel from all of you. People have called ma form Ogden to Prove and brought truck loads of items to my house. My dinning room has filled up at least 3 times. Please continue to spread the word and get this info out.

Hello Everyone,

I had some communication with Laura Trinnaman today and she has asked for more help form all of us. There has been a great outpouring of generosity on behalf of the children at Foyer de Sion and Laura has now been asked to help with the needs of others outside of the orphanage. There is an LDS ward that is in desperate need of assistance and another group has asked for help with 100 homeless families. Many have great faith in the charitable nature of us as US citizens. I know that many of you have already donated or headed up donations but, what we are asking is to extend our reach to others who may not have had the opportunity to help. Without exception, the people that I have talked with about Haiti have felt very helpless and want to do something. Here is a great opportunity. We will be collecting items or cash to buy things that will go into an XXL Ziploc bag. If you have not seen one of these bags believe me, they are big. These bags will be filled with very basic needs and distributed to families. I have included a list of all the items that are needed for these kits. We need to collect as much as we can as quickly as possible. The kits will then be assembled and sent out to Haiti. People are literally starving to death and dying due to lack of basic care. Volunteers are doing the best they can but there are not enough supplies to go around. If you are too far to bring donations but would still like to help you can have people send a check or cash to For Every Child or to Me, Deanne Walker and we will buy the needed items. If you do send money make it clear that it is for Haiti. We count all donations as sacred and they will be used wisely. The addresses to deliver donations to are:
