Hello everyone. I assume that if you are reading this you either know myself (Matt), Jessi or are just a person in the Philippines who is stalking us. Either way, we welcome you. As most of you know, Jessi's parents recently adopted the cutest girl in the world from Ethiopia. After seeing some of the pictures and hearing some of the first hand accounts of the living situations there and at the orphanages there, Jessi and I decided to try and do something. We are going to be putting together a donation to send back to Ethiopia. There is nothing worse than asking for donations from people, so that is not what we are going to do. If you can donate, great! Contact one of us and we will gladly accept any donation of new or slightly used items (Crib and twin sheets (fitted), thin towels and washcloths, underwear, undershirts, clothes (2-10 yrs.), and shoes (unisex). Also, if you are motivated and want to really give us a hand, you can spread the word by posting flyers around your office, neighborhood, church, museum, roller skating arena, school...really anywhere. We don't really have a goal as far as how many donations we would like to give, so at this point really even the most insignificant one would be greatly appreciated. Jessi has made some beautiful flyers that have all of the info on it and we would be happy to customize it with your own personal address as the drop off location so your neighbors can drop them off at your house and not have to drive up to SLC to give them to us. Please spread the word. We have set up an email account for this, so if you have any questions or want more information just send us an email. We have also just started a simple website as well to help answer questions and to get more people involved. We would like to have all donations in by Sept. 1st. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!!

I would actually LOVE to do that asap!! We have quite a few little adopted from africa children in our ward. I bet we could get some good donations. Great idea!!
We're totally in!
Love it, we want to help! I may also have some hook-ups at UVU. The mentor program that I work with does a few service projects every year.. I'll check and see if they have any already planned. You guys are great for starting this.
