Aura's House is Recharging its Batteries

Dear Aura's House Supporters,

As of January 13, 2008 the Aura's House site is on indefinite hold. The site was originally created to raise $4500 to build a brick home for my sponsored child, Aura Hernandez of Guatemala, through Children International.

Since meeting that first goal in 2004, the site has raised over $50,000 for needy children and their families around the world.

Myself and my wonderful partners, Anastasia Yecke, Mike Epler, and Christina Sidoti all work full time jobs and have witnessed the site grow into something much larger than we ever could have initially anticipated.

At this moment, we'd like to take a rest, re-collect our energies, and rekindle our passion for running the Aura's House website. Knowing us, we won't be able to NOT run the site for long. Please check back with us again for updates on recent projects or subscribe to our quarterly newsletters from the archived main site.

Please also consider making a one-time donation to Children International or consider a monthly sponsorship to help a needy child on their waiting list.

Best wishes and sincere thanks,

Kristen, along with Ana, Mike, Christina, and The Aura's House Team
