God’s Littlest Angels sleeping in the parking lot. All 90 of them.
The real estate community has taken up the cause of the children of Haiti that are suffering after a horrid earthquake has destroyed large parts of the capital Port au Prince.
My good friend, Tom Vanderwell, has been active with an orphanage God’s Little Children for a number of years. He is a mortgage broker in Michigan by day, but a father of 5 including 2 adopted Haitian children around the clock.
He has issued a challenge over at Bloodhound Blog to raise money for the children of Haiti. Please consider supporting this most worthy of causes.
Thank you.

Here is Tom’s description of the cause:
he and I ended up connecting and actually had a phone conversation at around 1:00 this morning (my time, not her time). We then worked up a way to make a difference in Haiti. We’ve kicked off the God’s Littlest Angels 1000 x 1000 Campaign.
Here’s what we’re doing:
- We want 1000 people around the world.
- To each commit to raising at least $1,000.
- That means that each of them would need to ask 10 people to donate $100.
I just got done talking with a local radio station and they asked me, “What is the biggest concern that you have with the orphanage right now? We’ve got three:
- Safety – so far everyone at the orphanage is safe, but staff members have lost family members in the earthquake.
- Adequate supplies of food, medicine and fuel for the generator. Without fuel, we have no electricity. Without electricity, sick babies die. It’s not an over statement, it’s a fact of life in a 4th world country.
- With 160 kids currently at the orphanage, we are “over capacity.” How are we going to handle it when a substantial number of new orphans show up at the gate within the next week or two? Realistically, given the estimates of death tolls, another 50 to 100 orphans at the gate of the orphanage is a potential outcome.
