Grace To Be Born: Hope for Unwed Mothers and Unwanted Babies

http://www.flickr.com/photos/23658497@N00/

Through Brother Bo Sanchez, I came across Grace To Be Born: a refuge for unwed mothers and unwanted babies. Being a single mom, this place and the people behind its cause tugged at my heart. Piquing my interest, I corresponded with Brother Rey Ortega who heads the shelter and found out that they are now supporting 11 mothers and 14 babies. Although they receive donations, they still need a lot such as Bonna milk for newborn babies, Bonnamil milk for babies 6 months and older as well as baby clothes. I promised to help in any way I can to support the mothers and babies there so if you are interested to donate, you can check their Needs List here.

Am planning to visit the shelter by the end of September to deliver baby stuff I gathered so if you want to donate but don't have the time to go there, I can meet up with you at a mutually convenient place to receive your donations. Please e-mail me at millicentmelissa@ymail.com or PM me at http://millicentmelissa.multiply.com/

I'll make sure these are delivered to the shelter care of Brother Rey.

Sex and the City music...I'm hooked!

Been watching late night re-runs of Sex and the City and although I've watched The Girls a gazillion times, I just realized that Season 6's soundtrack was da bomb!

As the series' soundtrack didn't have soundtrack credits at the end, had to google it and found a very extensive library of Sex and the City series soundtrack! Thank God for Carrie's Diary http://www.carriesdiary.com/ I found some of the fabulous music I was looking for:



Episode 89: Catch-38
Song 10: Aleksandr is honest with Carrie about having children.
Jon Hopkins: Lost in Thought (from the CD: Opalescent)





Episode 90: Out of The Frying Pan
Song 09: Carrie tries to comfort Samantha.
Audio Lotion: Jacuzzi Jazz (from the CD: ¡Adelante!)




Episode 93: An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)
Song 17: Alek gives Carrie a diamond necklace.
Passi: Il Fait Chaud (from the CD: Les Tentations)
