If torturing John does not motivate you to get involved, we are hoping that the vision of building a small 20 bed hospital WILL motivate you.
Prior to the earthquake Heartline was operating a pre-natal program and delivering the babies of the women in our program. Since the earthquake Heartline has determined that once they have delivered these women need more support. Sending them "home" to a tent with a one day old baby is not sufficiently caring for them and often leads to infections and complications. The goal will be to keep each woman for 7 days to help establish nursing, build relationship, and to watch for infection. Unfortunately in the conditions these women live, infection and complications are probable.
The hospital will serve our moms and will also be open to dealing with other non-pregnancy-related illness and disease. We are excited that the first funds raised for this project will be the encouragement and sign that this is the right thing to pursue.
It is likely that you've read the statistics and you know that prior to the Earthquake Haiti had one doctor per 10,000 people. Finding quality, loving care in Haiti was and is incredibly difficult. The care available is often a far cry from what any of us can even imagine.
Beth McHoul tells of multiple situations of neglect and poor quality of care as she has been forced to transport patients to area hospitals when they've needed a C-section.
Our hospital will be clean. The staff will be well trained. The care will be top notch. The respect shown to the patients will be exemplary. The love of Christ will shine to each and every patient.
Help us begin the exciting journey to build a small hospital ... and help us reach the equally exciting goal of seeing John bald.
Please give today. $5, $50, and $500 gifts welcomed!

this month I am also raising funds for Heartline at www.madebynikki.blogspot.com - $5 from every blog design goes to heartline! so far it has been the slowest month all year- only 3 customers! $15 so far... hoping to raise much more! send any blogspot bloggers over my way!
I must admit that I am startled by the amount of people that are envious of my hair and secretly wish that they could burn their combs and brushes and hairspray (don't burn the hairspray at home).
I VOTE for a combless, brushless, haircutless life. VOTE with me and don't give even a penny to this cause.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
I posted on Facebook. "Help build a hospital and free a man from his mop!"
Teehee--we ARE going to win--I'm sure! The mop is going!
I am starting to feel picked on but I'll eat the two day old whopper someone has brought me and I'll feel strong again.
Don't get food poisoning--YOU might need the hospital-that-does-not-exist-yet !
I think you should weekly shave the percentage that has been raised, kind of like the thermometer thing, but on your head.
I would but I seriously doubt that these misguided hair combers will raise the money. I wonder if they have a give back plan after they fail.
I think John needs to set up an eDivvy to raise funds for the hospital and if he gets the amount, Troy has to grow his hair long and not shave.
I don't think Troy can grow a beard yet.
Jody asked me last night how the "cut Johns hair" fundraiser was coming along. I told him where you were at and he said "that would be worth working a ton of overtime just to contribute". Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of overtime available. From a man who can retire soon, that says alot!
