I need a favor..Jerry Burney

Ellie has pretty much said it all but I want to ask you a personal favor. Take the 5 minutes it takes to read this...I want to help a good Friend, John Dunkle, to funnel a few dollars to his orphanage in Haiti. I don't give to most charities because I think the money is wasted on fatcats. 100% of any money you give goes directly to John's orphanage for bandages or food. I am sending this to one thousand select Friends or clients. Do me a GREAT FAVOR..click on To help - please visit http://rennwish.org Give $5.00 or $10.00 or more if you can. It will make a big difference to those who are laying in the street with crushed limbs.
I would appreciate it. Thanks...I do appreciate your trust & confidence.

Dear FAMILY & FRIENDS,

Rarely do I ask for something and never for donations for causes. But, this one is linked to my heart through the Luger Forum which Jerry is a Lifetime Luger Forum patron & moderator for the holsters division. Please take the time to read. We are not asking much – but what little is given will go a LONG way, and DIRECTLY for a GREAT cause.

The following is taken from John Dunkle’s note to the Forum members with my notes added, as we were all concerned if John’s Orphanage had been damaged and the children and adults hurt.

Love to all of you,

Ellie & Jerry

Allow your Dreams a place in your prayers & plans.

“The current crisis and disaster has only strengthened our commitment to the same credo - do as much as we possibly can to effect immediate improvement to those children, women, and men who, as I write this - are suffering unimaginable injuries and trauma.

Therefore, after communicating with Fr. Marc Boisvert - we believe, that together - you, Rennwish and Pwoje Espwa - can assist those injured children, women and men who might be otherwise overlooked immediately by the tremendous International Aid effort underway in Port-au-Prince, Petionville, Jacmel and some additional regions

The Goal: Immediate Requirement: $75,000 ($21,000 Medical/Supplies and $54,000 Emergency food/relief).

In the last few days, Rennwish has received exactly $5,042.00 in contributions earmarked for relief, with another $4,550 committed. All of those monies will be released for their intended purpose specified below. The remaining roughly $65,000 we hope to raise in the next few days - and with your help - by gosh - we can and will do it.

Mission - short term: To subsidize the Hospital in Les Cayes, Haiti for emergency medical supplies, food, and basic necessities for its operation and relief of victims. As of today - all those items are depleted. In short, we will buy and distribute Medical supplies for the Les Cayes Hospital, re-stock Pwoje Espwa's medical clinic and provide medicine, food an comfort for many of the injured children, women and men who are strewn throughout the Les Cayes hospital grounds awaiting any relief whatsoever.

The Purpose: All monies will be wired to Fr. Marc Boisvert at Pwoje Espwa directly into Haiti. As well - that is the same orphanage we partnered with to construct one of several planned Technical Schools. I trust Marc and his staff implicitly and since they are "on site" in the Cayes region - represent our partnership locally for this huge effort.

As true to Rennwish's and Pwoje Espwa's legacy - we believe that getting your donations directly into the hands of those most in need sends a powerful message. While we could purchase the items outside of Haiti, pay for packing, pay for shipping, pay for delivery into Haiti and pay more to get them into Les Cayes - that option becomes both cost prohibitive and doesn't allow the emergency supplies to get into the hands that need them most - when they are needed most… Further, it also dilutes your donations with unnecessary packing/shipping/delivery charges. Our intention has always been - and will always be - 100% of what you donate goes to the programs. This program. "Buy a Bandage" is "one of those programs.

"Buy a Bandage"

What is "Buy a Bandage"? It's a Rennwish (a 501C3) partnership with Pwoje Espwa, based in Les Cayes, Haiti, to subsidize the Hospital in Les Cayes, Haiti for emergency medical care, supplies, food, and basic necessities for its operation and relief of earthquake victims. As of today - all those items are depleted.”

To help - please visit http://rennwish.org

Ellie speaking: This link will take you to Rennwish.org - an organization that Jerry & I support through the LUGER FORUM. We have known John Dunkle and his wife, Jen, for many years and through this program he has helped build the infrastructure of this orphanage - Pwoje Espwa. Jerry has helped with many raffles on the Forum to raise money for these purposes.

Also, from this site you can read the Blog which will tell you the personal story of what is happening on a daily basis in Haiti. This is NOT an elusive "where will the money go" - this is personal.

If each of us gives just $10, either through Paypal or credit card, through the Rennwish link, it will add up and help. We have already given $200. And, as Jerry says this is a long term situation - and John & Jen are in it for the long haul.
