WE got strings! Papa Roach’s guitarist Jerry Horton (who donated in 2016 as well) has donated his strings to us again this year. Check out our previous post.
All together, we made 79 bracelets for about 60 people; many people ordered 2 or even 3 bracelets! We used up over 200 skull beads and ran out! Now that the dust has settled a bit, we tallied up the results and Papa Roach fans helped raise $1860.00 !!!! We were torn between doing a few HUGE things, or as many small things as we could.. so took a look through World Vision’s Gift Catalog and were able to do BOTH!
Here’s the complete list of what we all accomplished:
Furnished Classrooms $200
3 little pigs (for farming and meat) $120
Help build latrines $125
Stock a medical clinic $100
Clean water fund $100
Protect child labourers $100
Bicycles and repair kit (doctors on wheels) $100
Mom and baby care $100
Restore a child soldier $75 (x2)
Help sexually exploited children $75
Feed a family in crisis for a month $60
Beehive and bee keeping kit $60
Life saving nutrition for children $60
School meals for kids for a month $70
Education fund $60
Help equip health care workers $50
Wood conserving stove (easier to cook with less wood needed) $50
Mosquito bed nets (to prevent malaria) $50

Medicines for children in need $30
Textbooks for kids $30
Soccer balls for school kids $30
Crop seeds for farmers $20
Emergency food $20
‘Give where most needed’ $10 (x3)
Some of these gifts multiply 2-4 times as our Canadian Government matches certain donations. We did good you guys.. and a huge thanks to Jerry for his generous support.
and YES we have more strings left… want a bracelet (or earrings now too), best bet hit us up on Twitter or Instagram.
