Helping Blake

I received an email, inadvertently, about a US Army soldier from Fresno that was deployed over seas. Apparently it was not intended to go out to the masses.
Blake is newly married and a new dad. Being a new dad Blake was immediately drawn to the kids of a local orphanage in the area of his deployment. This orphanage is full of kids that the armed forces have "liberated" from the local warlords. These kids have lost their parents and have no where to go.
The orphanage is in dire need of diapers and formula for the children. Blake has purchased all the formula and diapers from the local PX with his own money, which isn't much mind you. I would like to see if we could be supportive of what Blake is doing for these kids. Not only is he putting his life on the line for our freedoms he is putting his life on the line to help these kids on his "off duty" time.
If we could collect diapers and formula to send to Blake I think it would be a huge blessing to him and the kids. Please let me know if you or any of the Fresno Fire Wives may be interested in joining this awesome outreach. You can reach me at 559-325-6665 or 559-287-1909 or send me an email at jay.tracy@fresnofirefighters.net.

Thanks,
Jay Tracy
