Support Push For Pita

I don't know if you have ever visited the Run With Scissors blog ( I've had it bookmarked for a long time!!), the blog owner is currently raising money to cover adoption fees so that her and her significant other will be able to begin the process of adopting a baby!! They are hoping to have all the necessary money raised by the end of February and there are many, many ways that you can help. You can purchase an item from her etsy shop (lots of people have donated items just for this, and 100% of the profits from the sale of the items will go for this cause), you can sign-up and participate in an online journal class,  or you can just plain donate a few dollars to her through paypal. For details and more information, click to visit her blog!

Thanks for reading! =)

Help Out Nashville Flood Victims

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the massive flooding in Nashville, whether it was by the news or by visiting a blog owned by someone who was a victim to the flooding..... So, how can we help? I thought I'd list a few ways :)

Redcross

The Red Cross has been in Nashville, Tennessee operating shelters, providing water to the needy, and offering additional assistance as needed. You may offer cash assistance to the Red Cross or specifically to the Nashville Chapter. The Red Cross prefers cash donations which they use to purchase supplies and aid.

You may contribute to the Nashville Area Red Cross by texting 90999 on your telephone. Your bill will be charged $10.00 and this gives a $10.00 contribution to the Nashville Red Cross. You may also call and make a donation by phone at 1- 615-250-4300. If you would like to send a check you may do so here: 2201 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203. With the current flooding situation, you may find that text is the quickest method available.

Donate:

• Hands On Nashville - donations support flood-related volunteerism
• Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle TN - all those people need food!
• Salvation Army Nashville Area - providing meals and basic clothing/toiletry items
• Metro Nashville Emergency Response Fund

If you can spare a little money please make a donation! If you live in the Nashville area there are many organizations looking for volunteers to help with everything, so donate your time too!! Here's a great site with lots of info: nashvillest.com

Please help out in whatever way you can!!
