~ Each donation becomes an entry into an amazing raffle with prizes such as free show tickets, yoga classes, gift baskets, restaurant gift certificates and much more!

 

WHY?

Because somebody has to... Because though different life experiences and soul-searching journeys all 5 of us came to firm decision to volunteer in order to to make a tangible contribution to the dream of a world where everybody deserves a decent place to live. Because we believe in miracles and that we, friends, humans, real people make these miracles happen.

 

BUILDING WHAT?

We are traveling to Guatemala to build homes for working poor, those who no matter how hard they work will never be able to change their family hosing situation for the better... It is not a hand down, it's a hand up. We will build along the side with families making their and our dreams come true

 

SO, HOW CAN YOU HELP?

!!!! WE CAN NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU !!!

We are volunteers and yes it does mean that we don't get paid a dime to this! In fact we each has to raise $1800 (donateable directly to Habitat for Humanity) and buy our plane tickets to make this build happen. Please come and support us! Donate anything you can: $10, $20, $50 dollars - every dollar gets us closer to our goal and allows us to buy a door knob, a window, a bag of cement, a shovel. Don't have the money? Donate a raffle prize, your musical talent, or simply come and support us! No min cover or donation to be present.

 

WHERE??

Several weeks a new Bikram Yoga Midtown Detroit opened and its large comfortable industrial lobby space is breathtaking! The owner, Sarah Weckerle, has kindly offered to us to use this space for our fundraiser.

So see you at 55 W.Candield Detroit on Jan.23, 2014.
