JUST IMAGINE

YOU DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY!!!!

Have you ever wanted to make a difference in the world, but you don't have enough time, money, or resources? Have you ever thought about what JUST ONE DOLLAR can do for a family in need?

Just Imagine waking up each morning- preparing water for a bath, preparing water to cook, preparing water to clean your clothes by hand, preparing a fire to cook your rice, fish, and hoping you have enough money to buy some fruit or vegetables for your family.

Just imagine THAT is the beginning of your day, each and every day.

Imagine repairing your home with available scrap metal or wood after each strong wind or rain or the seasonal typhoons.

Imagine one day, you wake up to find your veranda (front porch) colapsed and blocking the only way in or out of your home. It colapsed from the previous battering of strong winds, rains, and seasonal typhoons.

Imagine working when work is available and only having enough money to pay for food on a daily basis and then trying to find supplies to repair your porch so it can help protect you from strong winds, rain, and the seasonal typhoons.

Imagine each time there is strong rain and wind or seasonal typhoons all your clothes, bedding and possessions in your house get totally drenched.

Imganine what it would be like to wait for the sun to warm the air you breath and dry your clothes, your bedding, your cooking supplies between strong rains and seasonal typhoons.

Imagine what it would be like to sit, huddled together in a corner with your loved ones, in your home, in the dark with no electricity-sometimes for several days and nights- shivering from the pelting rain, chilling from the strong howling winds, praying for your loved one's safety and health by the light of day.

Imagine waking up one day to find your veranda (front porch) colapsed while you struggle to provide for your family's daily needs, not wants or desires.

Imagine you have little to no resources available.

Just Imagine you live in the path of seasonal typhoons, strong winds and rains and no way to protect your loved ones.

Imagine if you could make a difference in their lives with JUST ONE DOLLAR!

What do you spend JUST ONE DOLLAR on? Once a week or once a month? A snack? A drink? A song on the internet or radio? Imagine what JUST ONE DOLLAR can do if 1,000 people throuhout the world of millions sharedJUST ONE DOLLAR and gave up JUST ONE DRINK, JUST ONE SNACK, JUST ONE......make a daily difference in the life of JUST ONE family by sharing JUST ONE DOLLAR!

You can make a daily difference in my family's life with JUST ONE DOLLAR....They will be able to keep dry during a storm, have a safe place to eat their rice, fish, and fruit bought each day when you share JUST ONE DOLLAR. Thats all it takes.

Are you willing to share JUST ONE DOLLAR to help my family?

Our goal is to rebuild Mama's Veranda and secure the rest of her "house" so that they are safe from strong winds, rain, and seasonal typhoons.

Pray about what you should do with JUST ONE DOLLAR.

Ask JUST ONE FRIEND to think about it, pray about it - JUST ONE DOLLAR to share, to make a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE in lives of JUST ONE FAMILY.

Who will make the first ripple effect with JUST ONE DOLLAR? Will it be you? Will it be your friend? Or their friend? Who will it be?

JUST ONE DOLLAR!

How HUGE can we make this RIPPLE EFFECT of a difference in their daily life? How big of a RIPPLE can we make when we work together? A small ripple or a WAVE of a difference? It's up to you, it's up to me, it's up to our friends and neighbors!

I feel honored and privileged to serve my global neighbors and friends as an educator. I have been blessed to be able to touch many lives over the past several years. But I can't help my family in the Philippines with this challenge by myself. Please pray and think about what you can do with JUST ONE DOLLAR!

Thank you in advance for making a difference in the world we live in - our Global Neighborhood!

MAXIE AND ROBERT



Maxie and Robert standing at the doorway of Mama's home in Looc before the November 2007 Typhoon. Maxie and I have been engaged since April 2007. We have replaced the roof with a solid tin roof, but the other parts of Mama's home is being destroyed bit by bit as each strong rain, wind, and nearby typhoons ripping through SE Asia. We do that we can for Mama. As we prepare for marriage, we are limited with our funds. We only ask if you would share JUST ONE DOLLAR to help Mama live a life without the worry of her home endangering her loved ones who live with her. Please pray about what to do with your next spare dollar.

Advance Thanks to each of you as you share JUST ONE DOLLAR to make JUST ONE home a safer and more livable for Mama and her loved ones.

May the Lord Richley Bless you and your family and friends!
