My Thousand Dollar experiment....400, 401, 402, 403

Today is a delayed opening....so some extra time is mine to be here to catch up.  I have 160,600.00 to spend on some more shelter boxes to send to Haiti...that will buy 200 more shelter boxes, enabling 2000 people to have some shelter.  Unfortunately, that is only a drop in the bucket compared to all the people who need help. It is strange in this time....the time between the impact and the time that it all dies down.  The news is still reporting, but you could feel it dying down and it is sad.  I hope it will still be a concern enough to help all those who are in need of help.  Together, we could make it all work.

The rest of the money will be put toward paying off the plane that will still be flying out to the Dominican Republic with supplies for the people of Haiti.  Today's payoff is $1,445,400 and the remainder of the money owed is $12,899,280.  Thank goodness I do not have to pay the plane off in order to fly it!  Some of the money will be used to pay the pilot and for gas to fly it back and forth to the DR, so the pay off will be a little more.

All the best,
Alicia

My Thousand Dollar experiment....399

Today's tithe money will go toward buying more shelter boxes to be shipped to Haiti.  Shelter boxes are just amazing.  I am so excited that there is something out there that could help the people of Haiti with exactly what they need in their time of trouble.  Today's money will provide for about 500 people to have shelter.  Not bad.

The rest of the money will go toward paying off the plane and for the fuel to fly the plane back and forth with supplies to the Dominican Republic to help Haiti.  I am thinking it would be a lot easier to get into the airport there since I am not a star or anything.  :)

All the best,
Alicia

My Thousand Dollar Experiment....Days 388, 389. 390. 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396,397, 398

Ok.....I have been very delinquent in keeping up with my experiment....to my detriment, believe it or not!  Every day I forget to post is s a day I spend away from building up financial increase since focusing on what I do not have only brings me more of what I do not have...if that makes any sense to you.  I believe that since God created us by first thinking about our universe and us (and since we are made in his image) that we also create in the same way.  We can create chaos, or create in peace.  Today I choose peace.

Today's tithe money will go toward Haiti in a most wonderful way. Through Shelter Boxes.  Each shelter box costs $800 and houses 10 people.  The tithe money today comes to $432,300 and that will allow for 540 boxes, which will shelter 5,400 people.  Just a drop in the bucket, but 5,400 more people than before.  Any leftover money will donated to Shelter Boxes for their supplies.  I think this organization is amazing and it is exactly what the Haitians need right now.

The rest of the money will be used to pay the plane off so it can continue to be used to help send more supplies down to Haiti to help as many people as possible.   The remaining payment is $14,344,680 and counting!

All the best,

Alicia
