Donations Delivered!!!

As I traveled into the city yesterday, it broke my heart to see soo many tents underneath a bridge, filled with homeless families who are forced to live out in the very cold weather, and possibly not have anywhere to go for Christmas  It makes me wish I could help everyone. It makes me feel grateful for what I have, and for organizations that do help for those in need.Such as Tree*.

I was so happy when my bible study group decided to help out and bring clothes to our last group meeting. Even though they might not have the same calling to start their own donation drive, and be part of  saving orphans lives, I think its so cool that they still want to help out others who do. 
As I started unloading our car trunk full of clothes, toys, and books, I couldn't stop thinking about all of the foster children who will get Christmas presents this year thanks to the help of me, others, and this wonderful organization.
Thank you to all of you who donated!!! Your donations were VERY much appreciated!! 

This Christmas Season, it feels so good to think that I have successfully completed three projects since starting Orphan Lifeguard in October, when I originally thought one project would be accomplished this far. Thank you for all of your support and donations through Orphan Lifeguard. I am so thankful for all of you. Together we are making a difference!

Margret!!

I woke up to a very exciting message from Wiphan!  Margret will be scheduled for surgery very soon. They are waiting for the new operating room to be finished in one of the best hospitals in the entire country of Zambia. Margret is blessed to be able to go to this clinic. 

I am headed off to school, but had to share this awesome news. What a great way to start our Thanksgiving week!

I will keep you posted when I receive a date for surgery. Thank you for your messages and prayers for Margret!!

Up To Speed Saturday

This post is going to be about getting you up to speed on what's happening on some projects.

As you know, I have started a new project for the months of November and December. I have decided to donate some of my clothes and old toys to a local foster kid organization. I am so excited to be giving back to kids in my area.

I have picked the date and I will be going to drop off my donations on Friday, December 9th. I will be sure to post pictures. 

Also, for those of you who know me personally, and would like to help out with some donations of your own, contact me before the 9th and we can figure out a time for me to collect your donations. 

And for all of you who don't know me personally, you can STILL HELP OUT by buying on Orphan Lifeguard T-shirt. All profits from the t-shirt sales will go towards toys!!! I will buy brand new toys for this outstanding organization.

Looking forward to cleaning out my closet and dresser!  Thinking about adding some newness to the Tree* store for all the kiddos wanting that special something to wear during the holidays, or to receive as gifts. 

Now you are ... Up To Speed!!

The Season Of Giving

When I was about 8, I was into hand making a present for every single one of  my family members. My cousins, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents, my parents, and my brother. Every present was unique and represented them. I would plan months before in order to get it all done in time for Christmas.

I loved making and planning and wrapping the gifts, despite all the time and effort it took to get it all done. It was worth it when I saw the thankful expression on their faces. Even though the present wasn't a name brand or excellent quality, it still meant a lot to know that someone took all that time to do something, even very small, for you.

As I grew older I became more busy during the holiday season and didn't have as much time to give handmade gifts.

I want to start giving again, with more of a purpose, to give back to those in need, who might not get very much of anything this holiday season. 
Last year my family and I wanted to find an organization that we could get involved with; one that we could raise funds for, or get the word out for. That's how we found out about Tree*. An organization that collects donations for foster children in our county.
They have a huge ware house that serves as a store that holds all the donations; which range from toys, to clothes, to books, and even bikes! The foster children and their foster family get to go into this store many times a year to get anything they want absolutely free!
This year to give back to my community this holiday season, I have decided to go through my closet and give away any of the clothes that I don't wear often enough, or can't fit into, to Tree*. By doing this simple act of kindness, I will be supplying Christmas presents for foster children all over my city. 
~For those of you in my area, and who want to help me by giving donations, email me and we can figure something out. I would love for you to be part of this journey with me. ~

The Season of Giving!

Thank you to the following people for writing Messages 4 Margret,

Rachael

Jessica

Nina

Brenda

Linda

Robin

Your messages mean a lot to us and they are truly a gift.

For all of you who donated, but have not written, please do so soon!!! If you don't know what you should write, but still want to write, I came up with a few prompts.

1. You could give words of encouragement. Tell her she's beautiful, and she is loved.

2. You could write her a prayer.

3. You could tell her a story about how you heard about her condition....Someone (I won't name who) wrote a really sweet note to Margret, about how their family had a yard sale, and ended up donating ALL the funds to Margret's cause!!

So to everyone who donated, I really would appreciate your message. It would be really cool to send a whole scrapbook FULL of messages to her!!

Please write to Margret ... send me a Comment if you are unclear of how to write a Message 4 Margret. Thank You!

IMPORTANT!!!!

Look at her, she's a typical teenage girl, havin' fun with the camera. This photo was taken on the way to her doctor appointment, and even though on the ride there she was nervous, she found ways to have fun. Help me bring another sweet smile to this teenage girls face, in a scary time in her life, and write a Message to Margret ASAP!!!

For those who donated, you have a Carepages invite waiting for you to respond to in your email. It only takes like 2 seconds to get on my message board. Just write from your heart. A simple act of kindness, writing to a teen in Zambia, from the convenience of your computer that most Americans are on 24/7, will mean THE WORLD  to Margret and me.

So pleeease write!!! I can't wait to make her book of messages and send it to her!

Thank you SO much!

Don't Forget To Write!!!!!!!!!

For all of you who donated to my Messages for Margret project.....please don't skip out on writing to my dear, sweet, Zambian friend Margret!! These messages will mean THE WORLD to her!! 

If you donated to this project, Wiphan has already sent you the email from CarePages. That email is the only way you will have access!!

This is REALLY IMPORTANT!!! When she gets the scrapbook of all the encouraging messages, she will go into surgery, and come out of surgery, knowing that people are praying, thinking and caring for her. 

Check your spam, trash,and inbox folders for the CarePages invite. If for some reason you can't find it, leave me a Comment, and I will contact Wiphan for you to make sure you receive it!

So please DON'T FORGET TO WRITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much - your support and generosity mean so very much to Margret and Me!

Shopping For Sports Balls!!

WOW, what an amazing weekend!! It all started Friday when I jumped into the car after school and my mom told me about Margret, and her condition, and I knew at that moment that I needed to take on the challenge of raising the funds.

And we were fully funded for Ukraine too!!
Right as we got home from picking my brother up, I jumped onto the computer to write, knowing that I also was going to be shopping for sports balls for the kids in Ukraine later that night.We didn't get into the car until 8:00pm, we shopped at our local sports store for almost an hour, and ended up with 23 balls, 2 pumps, 2 nets, and a few boxes of Pump Needles!
I was soo happy we were able to send so much to the kids in Ukraine, it felt soo good to push around an overloaded cart and have people ask what its all for!!! Their reaction was a little bit of shock mixed with a big smile, and a "Good Job!".
The next day I was super busy,  I had ballet in the morning, and our Annual Cousin's Halloween party at night. I was at the party when my mom came up to me to tell me that we were already halfway to our goal for Margret!! I was extremely surprised, I WAS NOT expecting to raise so much money in a little over 24 hours!! We didn't end up coming home until 12:30 at night (or should I say, Morning!).

This morning I was woken up at 7:15am by my mom telling me I had raised $1,861 for Margret. I quickly...OK....well slowly 'cuz I was going on few hours of sleep...made my way downstairs and blogged about our success. 2 hours later we made our goal. Wow, amazing.

I left for church feeling great, I had just raised $2,000 for a sweet girl in Zambia who needed life saving surgery, how many teens can say that?! I knew that this was God's plan for me, helping orphans around the world, that this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

I just finished deflating the 23 balls and packaged them up to be shipped to Rachael on Tuesday. I can't wait!! The kids in Ukraine will be soo excited to see all of their new sports balls that they get to play with!!!
Thank you all so much who helped my Score A Goal 4 Ukraine fundraiser be such a big success! I couldn't have done it with out you!!!
Stay tuned for the drawing for the exclusive Orphan Lifeguard item, that will still be held on November 1st! I can't wait!! What an exciting weekend ... and MONTH!

Update of an Amazing Update!!

I just received notice from Andrea (my friend and contact at Wiphan) ... that ...


we ... 

are ... 

fully ... 

funded! 


Remember to write your message on Margret's messages page once you receive your email invitation. All those that donated should have their invites today!!!!!

Amazing Update

I can't believe that I have such a huge surprise for a girl my age half way around the world from me. Soon she will be going to bed not knowing that I just woke up and found out that we have raised ...

$1,860!!!!

Margret will be so excited when she finds out that she will receive the life saving surgery!! I am amazed that we have raised so much money in less than two full days, but I also know that God works mighty wonders. I am so appreciative that so many of you opened your hearts to help me save my Sponsored Child's life. I can't thank you enough.

Oh, by the way, you can also help Margret by buying an Orphan Lifeguard T-shirt!!!  All profits will go towards the fundraising of Margret's surgery. I have worn my t-shirt many times already and I have gotten so many compliments about it. It's a great opener for a conversation about Orphan Lifeguard!!!

Order yours today!!! Please add in the comments line on your t-shirt order that you would like to participate in Messages 4 Margret. Then I will send you a message to your email that will provide the link where you can leave your encouraging message for Margret.

Thank you so much - keep spreading the word, keep praying, and keep writing messages!!!!!! 


When he heard this, Jesus said, 
"This sickness will not end in death. 
No, it is for God's glory 
so that God's Son 
may be glorified through it."

To Margret,With Love

First of all, we have reached our goal for my Score A Goal 4 Ukraine fundraiser!!!! We went over and above and raised $325!!! I will be going shopping TONIGHT and I will blog about my trip this weekend. I am so excited and so appreciative for all of you that participated!!! Thank you for your prayers and donations!!  I will still have the drawing for the winner of the unique Orphan Lifeguard item on November 1st ... stay tuned!

When I started Orphan Lifeguard, I had expected to do a project every few months with things being kinda slow to start. I was okay with that, as I really just wanted it to be free-flowing and in response to when something tugged at my heart. Well, something is already tugging at my heart. I've learned that when God opens doors for you, you don't close them because it was not what you thought your timeline would be or what you were expecting, you go inside and do what He's calling you to do.
It all started  the last week of July, my family found out that our sponsored Wiphan child, Margret, had at the time what we thought was Elephantitis; which is a disease that makes certain limbs swell out of control, and there really is no cure. Margret was showing these signs in her right leg.
Our August Care Package to her just
before her 1st Doctor Appointment
However, yesterday we got word from Wiphan that her doctors appointment did not show Elephantitis, but it was clear that she has large tumors in her buttocks, her lower back, and her thigh which could be causing her leg to swell.

Tumors? When I read that word I was devastated and very sad for her. Even though I have never met her before I am always thinking about her. I feel a connection to her because she is close to my age, and we have her picture on our fridge. I see her face every day and think about her, and wonder about what it is that she is doing.  The letters she writes to us are so sweet and I love how she always includes stickers or a hand drawing. I can really tell that she tries hard in school and likes being there through her writings to us.
I continued to learn through Wiphan that the Tumors have to be removed. They have to be removed in order to save her life. People can not survive living with tumors. Her leg, obviously, is not getting better, only worse. It is hard to imagine what it would be like for someone with so little technology, and limited accessibility to medical care, would feel like when they walk into the medical room when she gets her surgery with all those lights and medical equipment. I am sure it will be very overwhelming and very scary. It would be for me, and I have seen medical technology before just in routine medical care.

Once the tumors are removed, they will test to see if the tumors are cancerous or not. We are praying for cancer-free results. If they are cancerous - well, let's just not think about that right now. My goal is to help her get through surgery first and be blessed with great news.
Also, the surgery will determine if the tumors were the direct cause of the swelling, or if there is a problem with her Lymph Nodes. That would not be good too, as Lymph Node issue could lead to many additional problems. I am praying too that the removal of all the tumors heals Margret completely!

What God has shown me in the months since we've heard about Margret's leg, and the recent news of the tumors, is that I have more ways to help outside of praying constantly for her. I live in a country that exceeds in money. I know there is talk of economic stuff, but really ... we still have money. We have money to give to others. We have money to save a child's life. We have the way and the power to directly impact Margret.
Her friend translating our letter to her
on the way to her first doctor appointment
She does not have money for doctor care, for surgery, for recovery, for medicine. Wiphan and I are her Lifeguards. We are committed to being the Hands and Feet of Jesus - to call upon His people - to raise the money necessary for her surgery and treatments to take place.

Will you join me?

Our goal is to raise $2,000 estimated for her surgery and additional care. I believe without a doubt that we CAN and WILL raise the money in time for her surgery; which needs to happen as soon as possible. If you feel called to help, please keep reading.

Messages 4 Margret:
Here's the deal: when you donate online at Wiphan, it will open access to my CarePage Website that I have created for Margret. With the online invitation, you can write as many messages as you wish for Margret. Words of encouragement, bible verses, prayers, and cheers. If you are a Wiphan Sponsor, you could also include which child you sponsor in your message, as Margret might have a connection with your sponsored child!!

Once we have raised our goal, I will create a book of ALL of the messages for Margret. Worried about English that she may not speak or read? Put away that Zambian Dictionary that we all have lying around the house, because we have that covered!! Our sweet Wiphan friend, Kristin, will be sure that every word of every message will be translated and read to Margret personally. WHAT FUN!!!

Can you imagine? She is a sweet girl, going through this life saving change, and she will be BLOWN AWAY by the number of people who care for her around the World!! She will enjoy hearing all of your sweet messages for her. What better way to communicate the Love of Christ and have a direct impact your donation, and your messages, will have in her life!!

All donations will be collected through Wiphan. They will handle all of the money as they have the direct access to the medical care for Margret and are the ones overseeing all of the details. Because you are donating to Wiphan directly, your money is also tax deductible. Orphan Lifeguard's job in the journey with Margret is being her BIGGEST FAN and CHEERLEADER, encouraging the raising of these life saving funds, and collecting all of the messages for her. I am so excited to be teaming up with Wiphan ... and You!

How do you donate and get access to Messages 4 Margret?? Keep reading ...

Step 1:
Click on any of the Wiphan words in this blog post, or click on the WIPHAN box to the right. It will direct you to the Wiphan website. Click DONATE on the upper tab of the Wiphan site, and select DONATE ONE TIME. Follow the instructions on the donation screen, and include in the Memo Line: MESSAGES 4 MARGRET and Include Your Email Address.

Step 2:
Now that we have your Email Address, we will send you an email invitation from my CarePages website for Margret. Follow the easy instructions in this email to leave your message to Margret. Remember, once you have access to the CarePages website, you can leave as many messages as you wish during the course of this campaign.  So essentially, a one time donation for unlimited messages!!

Step 3:
Continue to pray for Margret, help me spread the word about Margret's story, add her to prayer chains, and check back on this blog often for updates.

Thank you so much for helping me save the life of my friend, Margret. This is the right thing to do, and I would really, really appreciate if you could help Margret.

To Margret, With Love ...

All for Fun and Fun for All!

It's about the fun, the exercise, getting energy out, and of course being a kid! If the kids in the Ukrainian Orphanage don't have sports balls, they can't do these things to their fullest!
The Dorm/Living Area of the Orphanage
You can't play basketball without the ball!! It would be called basket... that's it! Basket! No ball, no game. Sad, right?

Same thing with Soccer! Without the ball there is no game, and with no game, there is no exercise, no team building, no sportsmanship, no outdoor fun!! (or indoor, depending on rules:) ) 

We are soo close to our goal, we only need $4.80 to bring kids in Ukraine exercise! I know my Chip-In account says that we have raised $250, but with the sales I have got from my T-shirts, and donations by hand, we have raised $295.50! Thank YOU!! We can do it!

Thank you to the following people for the generous contributions by buying a shirt or donating cash:
-Linda
-Josh
-Jamie
-Maureen
-Stephanie
-Brian
-Carole
-Marcia
-Tricia
-Samson
-Lynda
-Cheryl
-Donna
-Tom

I Refuse...

Listen to this song's lyrics, it is exactly what my meaning is here on Orphan Lifeguard. It reminds me to look at the big picture in life and not take my good life for granted, and instead take that good life and do something with it for others. I love this song!

My October Project ~ Score A Goal 4 Ukraine

This month I have chosen my project to be for a boarding school/orphanage in Ukraine in a town called Novomykolaivka. This orphanage houses kids from ages 1st through 9th grade.
What's special about this orphanage is that some of these kids get to be hosted through New Horizons at different family homes in America, and  80% of the time they get adopted by their hosting families or somebody they met while being hosted.
You can read more about this organization by going to the New Horizon's website. By hosting through New Horizons my friend Rachael found her son Sergiy, who is living in this orphanage that I will be raising funds for. The adoption paperwork has begun for Sergiy and soon he will be home with his family.

Rachael has agreed to take the donations that Orphan Lifeguard receives to the boarding school when she visits in November.
My goal is to raise $300. Of that, $75 will go towards the fee for the extra baggage on the plane and the remaining $225 will be used for me to purchase soccer balls, basketballs, footballs, and an air pump. These items were a common wish from the boys in the boarding school.

If you feel ready to help, you can donate money by selecting my Chip In button on the right sidebar. Any dollar amount will be much appreciated!  If we could rally just 30 people to donate $10 - then we would be on our way to those athletic balls for the kids.

I will also be selling Orphan Lifeguard T-Shirts that you can buy to help donate for Ukraine.The funds from the T-shirts will be combined with the cash donations that  will go towards our $300 goal.

Thank you for helping bring joy to these children in the Ukraine. You will be making an impact in their lives by helping me with this fundraiser; changing their lives right away.

Thanks for helping Orphan Lifeguard Score A Goal 4 Ukraine!!!

Welcome!!!!

Well, I know this sounds cheesy, and something that almost everyone says this on their first post, but I'm going to go with the trend and say.....Welcome to my blog! My name is Orphan Lifeguard, but since that's a pretty long name you can call me by my nickname,Peach. ( Kinda random I know, its a long story.)

Okay now for the real reason you are here. My mission on this blog is to raise money for three main things,

-Well the obvious reason, for Orphans around the world!
-Also, Orphanages around the world that don't get very many donations or funds.
-And last, well that's open to whatever orphan related story that touches my heart, and tells me that I need to help, such as raising money for another organization that has the same vision as me.

YOU, as a reader and Blog Follower, can help me!  I will soon have a shop where I will be selling T-shirts. The money raised will either go out to buy supply's for the cause; such as clothes, games, toys, diapers, etc., or I will send the money to the organization.
 
I promise that I will always tell you exactly where your money or donation is going so you know aren't left in the dark.

If you don't feel like donating money, you can also talk to me about sending me a donation of items that are needed. Just comment on this blog telling me that you wish to send me a donation and we'll work it out form there.
   
I'm really excited to actually put my dream of helping orphans in need, into action, and I can't wait to make a difference! I hope that you will feel the same way.


~I never,ever, want you to feel like you are obligated to donate money just because you are reading this blog,I want you to donate something if you feel like this is a cause you want to support. Also if you cant donate anything, but feel like you want to help, you can donate by broadcasting my mission on Facebook,Twitter,to your friends, or even pray about me and my mission and that I will be able to make an impact in these orphans lives, and that would mean just as much to me as donating money. Thanks! O.L~
