We Need to Ship to the Military!
Our 501c3 provides iPads to our troops. We have always shipped through the US Post Office but they just stopped shipping anything with lithium batteries! Now we have no way to ship these important items to our front lines! We are working with private shippers but they don't ship to APO (military) addresses! Does anyone have any ideas on how we can ship to Afghanistan? We have iPads ready to be shipped! Thank you so much.

This Dog Truly is a "Trooper"
From Denise Madan
 Sometimes things just stop you in your tracks. Two days ago, during an extreme downpour of rain, I saw a Chocolate Lab, severely injured and alone, on the side of the road. It was heartbreaking when I realized that this sweet animal, paralyzed by his pain, was immobilized on the ground, bleeding. He had been hit by a car and, among other injuries, his front leg seemed to be broken. Thankfully, with the help of several good Samaritans and one incredible police officer, we were able to get him to a veterinary hospital where "Trooper" had surgery. He had his jaw fracture boned, his palate repaired, and his leg was set with pins. Will you help us give Trooper a second chance and donate HERE to his medical fund? You can also donate directly to Miami Veterinary Specialists by calling 305.665.2820. If you believe you know the dog's name and owner please contact me at 786.334.8200. |

We JustAsk You to Support Deserving Moms in Our Community
From Team JAB
 Being a new mom is challenging, but if you're homeless with no resources, the thought of raising a child seems impossible. After a desperate struggle to support her family, Katrina Rolle found herself pregnant and on the streets of Overtown without much hope. That is until a homeless shelter referred her to the United Way Center for Excellence in Early Education's Early Head Start Home-Based Program, where she learned the skills necessary to support herself and raise her son, Keyun. JustAskBoo has teamed up with United Way for JustAsk, a service campaign that brings JABBERS together to collectively wrap our arms around families in our community who are using educational resources to improve their lives. Families, like Katrina and Keyun, at the Early Head Start Program desperately need essential necessities like clothes, food, hygiene, strollers, car seats and educational supplies. We JustAsk you to help these new moms by clicking HERE to purchase basic supplies from a registry of items. Thank you and Happy JABBING! |
Where Can Moms Find Meaningful Work?
From Margaret Beasley: REPLY After years of being a stay-at-home mom, my kids are finally in school for the majority of the day. I am looking to work, but I don't want to report to a traditional 9-to-5 office job. I've heard there are websites out there that offer opportunities for "mompreneurs" - MomCorps is one of them. Does anyone know of a website, message board, blog or niche employment agency in our community that caters to women looking for flexible, fulfilling job opportunities? I'm not interested in direct sales or home parties - I want a real career, just not in the traditional setting. Thanks!
