Everyone Wants to Adopt a Haitian Baby…

It seems as though everyone wants to adopt one of these little babes…

But we can’t.  At least not right now.  But, please remember… you CAN donate to Ali, Jamie and their little friends here:  http://www.centeroflife.net/haiti/index.html

Just follow the instructions for “BRESMA” — It’s real easy.

I don’t have much time to express how I feel about all of this… And really… It doesn’t even matter.  Just know that I’m so touched by the kindness of all of my friends… and their friends… and their friends’ friends… and so on.  I know that my friends’ friends… and their little friends are lucky to have you.

So much LOVE,

Jody

Sister-in-Law Ali Pace Updates #BRESMA Kids

The Little Souls We're Working For

[For those of you who are just tuning in -- Two girls from Pittsburgh, Ali and Jamie McMutrie are stuck in Haiti with 150 orphans.  They have been running the orphanage for the last few years and the earthquake has ruined all opportunities for these children to live the lives that the two girls have hoped for for them.  Big names have been contacted and they've even been on CNN.  It's still not enough.  They are now out of water and things aren't looking good.  The girls are related to my best friend and I've been doing my best to spread accurate information for help.  If you read my past blogs (by scrolling down), you can catch yourself up on all that has been happening.  The first blog about the orphans is entitled "S.O.S."  Please do all you can to help.]

I don’t know about you guys, but I think that when the kids finally DO get to Pittsburgh, they’re probably going to have to change the orphanage name from “BRESMA” to “#BRESMA.”  It’d only be right…  You guys have been amazing with the tweeting and I know through a personal contact with the family that they are all so shocked, grateful and amazed at what Twitter, Facebook, email and a phone mixed with a few GOOD humans can do.  To think that all of this stemmed from a desperate cry for help from someone’s living room is almost unfathomable.

Although this all sounds positive and celebratory, the battle is still not over.  We’ve not yet won.

Ali Pace, Jamie and Ali’s sister-in-law, has posted the most accurate information about how to help the orphans on her Facebook page.  Things aren’t looking as good as we’d hoped they would by this time.

I know that not everyone has Facebook, so I’m using my blog to try to reach more.  Her words need to go to more than just Twitter people.  Please think… Have you sent this to EVERYONE you know??  Does the old lady who works at your front desk who ONLY knows how to check email know about this?  Does your grandma who just got a computer to “keep up with you kids” know about this??  Please keep in mind that NOT everyone who can help is on Twitter or on Facebook.  We need to push a little further… a little harder.  Check your email address book.  Do you think that guy on Craigslist who sold you your couch might be able to help?  Well, it surely wouldn’t hurt to ask.  Please keep these ideas in mind and continue to pass on the story of BRESMA.  Perfect strangers DO care and WILL help.  You just gotta reach out and touch the right ones… In the right way.  So, after you read Ali’s post below, REACH!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT:
Please Understand:
Yes, the kids are sick. When I wrote this I wanted people to understand that the battle is not won. BUT, I want to make very clear that things are happening. help is going to them. please do not panic.
END EDIT.

just wanted to give you guys a little update.

i’m sure you all know that the girls were on CNN (Anderson Cooper) last night. even though the show was on at night, they talked to the girls much much much earlier in the day. since then the babies have started to get very sick. the girls have started to get sick. the fact that CNN has found and interviewed them, unfortunately, doesn’t mean much. CNN couldn’t bring them water and supplies. they don’t have any to give. while being on CNN does get the word out and gives them great media coverage, it doesn’t mean they are safe. or ok.

so many of you have offered up planes. who knew getting a private plane was this easy? as of right now, the proper people at the highest levels are working on it. if we need one, we’ll definitely let you know. trust me. at this time, i think we’ve got it covered.

so many of you are offering up going to haiti on this private plane. no one is needed at this time. if we need more we’ll definitely let you know.

the thing everyone needs to understand is that it’s not just as easy as getting a private jet and sending some local heroes. i really really really (really) wish that it was. that would be fairly easy. there is SO much red tape and legal issues that we have to go through. that we are going through. we have the most qualified people in the world offering to go down and save them, but they can’t get in the country right now.

really i just can’t express how overwhelmed and grateful i am that everyone is chipping in and so willing to help. but, the things that you can do to help really just stay the same. call your senators. and donate. the senators and political higher ups are now involved. but, that doesn’t mean that you should stop harassing them. we need them to stay involved. we need them to stay passionate about this cause. especially now that it’s the weekend. so please just keep calling. call and call and call and call. email and email and email.

after you’re done calling, you can donate.

this is how you can donate to Jamie, Ali, and BRESMA
http://www.centeroflife.net/haiti/index.html

Or you can donate to a number of other non profits that are trying to help Haiti.
text “yele” to 501501 to donate $5 to Wyclefs charity.
text “haiti” to 90999 to donate $10 to the Red Cross.
everyone in Haiti needs our help.

if you want to bring some children supplies for IF the kids of BRESMA do end up coming to PGH you can bring the proper supplies to this address:

1212 W. North Ave
PGH, PA 15233
between the hours of 11AM and 8PM.

if you are willing to help us…. that’s what we need. calling, emailing, donating money and supplies, and getting the word out about BRESMA and Haiti. we don’t need planes, foster families, temporary homes, or adoptive families at this time. big things are happening between big people. which is what we wanted. but, we are in no way out of the woods. not even close.

here is a little snippet from an email that I got from Jamie and Ali:

“i was able to read some of the things online tonight, and its too much for words obviously, i dont know how you can tell everybody thank you or if you even have time for that, it might just be impossible. but we are still so so scared.”

they cannot believe that this many people are fighting for them. i know it really helps them a lot to know that you’re all trying to help.

i really hope that this note doesn’t make us come across ungrateful in any way. we are so thankful. when we first started to get the word out about this and try to help them we had no idea it would lead to this. we’re so overwhelmed, scared, and hopeful.

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for everything. we promise to keep you guys updated.

just to wrap this up, please remember the most important thing you can do right now is call your senators and representatives, THANK THEM for their work already and ask them to continue pressing.

keep hoping.

ali.

Next Step

This is Who You've Saved

Hey heros –

The following was sent out this morning from the “Let’s get them out of Haiti” Facebook group.

Subject: UPDATE From Haiti and Next Steps..

Thanks to all of you for your continuing support and prayers through this very serious situation!

Ali Pace, wife of Chad McMutrie, spoke with Ali McMutrie on the phone at 4am this morning.

Ali was using one of the multitude of phone numbers that was given to her by the sisters to try in this situation.

Ali McMutrie said ‘We are okay, but not actually okay.”

She continued to explain that all of their supplies are running out, although none of them (including the children) are in danger of their health or physical well being yet.

Ali Pace explained that the next plan of action is to acquire a plane this morning (Friday, January 15th) to take down supplies to the sisters and children. They will be taking 8 other American passengers down to assist in the preparations to bring everyone back here to America.

The plans are still in the works this morning, specific details are forthcoming.

As of now, all of the children that are going through the adoption process here in the States (approx. 30) will finish the adoption process once here, and continue on to their new American homes.

For the other children (120 or so) they will be brought here temporarily, but their futures are yet uncertain.

…

What we need right now:

Ali Pace has requested that people gather and donate the following to a location yet to be determined:

- infant/baby diapers

- powdered formula

- bottles of water

- kids snacks/crackers.

- medical supplies (yet to be determined)

The children range in ages from infant to 13 years old.

I realize that Ali Pace had posted to bring these supplies to her house. Please do not do that yet, we want to move forward in an organized manner to get these supplies to plane as smoothly as possible.

An alternate supply drop off site is yet to be determined, please keep checking in.

As the day progresses we will post more information here as to where to drop off these supplies as well as other important details.

——————————————————————————————

If you are a member of Facebook and would truly like to help, please join that group here:  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=253060986318

It’s the best way to stay connected.

They will need continued support for a really long time.  If you cannot get donations to Pittsburgh, there’s always the monetary donation option.  Click here and follow the instructions for the BRESMA orphanage:  http://www.centeroflife.net/haiti/index.html

Thank you all for your efforts.  You’ve saved lives and made history.

So so much love and gratitude,

Jody

I got the following from Ali and Jamie a few hours ago. I just wanted to share it with you all. Know that we thank you for your support, and that Jamie and Ali do as well…

—————-

first, thanks.

- we cannot call anyone or respond to any texts, and we will not have any because phone cards are not for sale.

- we know every situation in haiti is very serious, trust me we know.we just know this is what we have to do if these kids have any futures so that is why we even thought of the idea, and that is why we are pushing it. we are living minute to minute, and know you are all working for us. every government office is destroyed. kids who are left behind are here forever. and ever and ever.

- family, know that jamie and i are safe as far as health and stuff like that. we were in our car during the earthquake and didn’t get a scratch, physically. we are deciding not to take the us embassies offer to fly out every evening at 6 pm because if we leave the kids…. they will literally be left in our driveway with a handful of nannies who will not stick around.

- as for if everyone is ’safe’ please understand the answer is NO!!!!there is no safety here for anyone. supplies will be helpful the next few days but where to go from there? the supplies will be stolen, our house will be looted, its is simply inevitable and we are just praying for time, its going to happen. it already started downtown today, and we are ten minutes from there.

- we are probably not going to have internet again.

i know you cant do more than youre doing… but weeks or months is not an option for the kids. its just not.

we truly love you and appreciate you all
ali and jamie

INITIAL BLOG STARTS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you all may or may not know, I know two sisters, Jamie and Ali McMutrie, who are stranded in Haiti with over 30 babies in their care.  They’ve been living there for years, running an orphanage (BRESMA) to try to get these kids out of the neglected and impoverished city of Port Au Prince.

To all of the amazing folks who have been re-posting, making phone calls, praying… Thank you.  It’s all helped.  The girls are still alive and so are the children.  They’ve made contact with family via a stranger’s Blackberry.  This all sounds positive, but as you read the following email from Jamie, you will see that those were only small feats compared to what they have to face next:

“Our housé is falling b two also. Adoptions stoppéd five yrs at least. We are living in yard no food water bank stores phone mostly. Only idéa is if u no anyoné important who can give réfugee status to all thé bresma u.s. kids. We trùly cant keep babys alive water contaminated. This is our only hope -
only private planes allowed. We know its cràzy but can évryone come togethér and find a person to help us like obama? Thé kids r almost américan and will have homes. We try to call all day and cant. Sending this from a strangers blackberry.  i want to make sûre évryoné ùnderstands we cant stay in
haiti and thé kids will not live if théy stay. Riots will start within two days.”

THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP!!!!!!!!!!

There have been offers from numerous individuals to fly there and rescue the girls… but the children will not be allowed to go.  Why?  Because they are not American citizens.  30 of them are already knee deep into the adoption process, with families around the world awaiting their arrival.  Now that the earthquake has taken place, they’ve put off ALL adoptions for 5 years.  This means that if we cannot get some sort of temporary US citizenship for these children, they will be left for dead.

My friend, Ali Pace, sister-in-law and close friend of the girls has posted a Facebook blog that states:

we’ve gotten a lot of people that are willing to help with the humanitarian side of things, but the more pressing issue is that the orphans are essentially abandoned right now. because of the massive upheaval in haiti, the adoption process has pretty much stopped. these children are in the process of being adopted, but they are now in a state of limbo, so to speak. we feel fairly confident at this point (as much as we can) that we are going to be able to safely get jamie and ali out of the country. the most pressing issue has become getting the children safely home. what we need now more than anything is for the government here, in the US, to grant the children some sort of temporary refugee status so that they can come home and be with the families that are waiting for them. we are in no way experts here. we have no idea how to go about making it happen. what we need are connections, string pulling at the highest levels of government. this is a tall order. but without some sort of intervention these kids will literally just be abandoned. there is no other hope for them.

if you could please post this in a blog form, that would be amazing. there is no way jamie or ali will ever leave without getting the kids somewhere safe.

everyone please keep your thinking caps on. we need all of your help.

1 Girl Made A Difference, So Can You

 

Help her make a difference!

 

My good people of Twitterland and Facebookville (Oh, and Myspace Island… If you’re still stranded there…),

I’m writing to you extremely last minute to help with something that has affected me both mentally and spiritually… Now I sound crazy, huh? Don’t click away!

My friend, Craig Scott, lost his sister, Rachel, in the Columbine shootings on April 20, 1999. Some of you may have heard her story, most of you, probably not. (If you haven’t, you should look into it, as it is truly an amazing one.) Wikipedia has summed her up beautifully:

At the time of her death, the 17-year old Columbine High School junior was an aspiring writer and actress, having had the leading role in a student-written play. Described as a devout Christian by her mother, she was active as a youth group leader at Orchard Road Christian Center church near Littleton and was said to be known for her friendliness and compassionate nature. Rachel left behind six diaries and several essays about her belief in God and how she wanted to change the world through small acts of kindness. Shortly before her death, she wrote an essay for school stating, “I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion then it will start a chain reaction of the same.”

After her passing, her family made it their duty to share her story with the world and use her experiences to help change lives.  (They dubbed their mission “Rachel’s Challenge“)  So far, it has been a great success.  They speak all over about Rachel’s experiences and have affected so many adults and children alike.  

For their great efforts, Rachel & Craig’s dad, Darrell, has been nominated as an “Everyday All-Star” and needs your help to win the title!!  If he wins, he will be featured in People Magazine!  His success with this will gain a whole new audience for Rachel’s Challenge.  Here’s part of the email Craig sent me this evening –

 

Today is the last day to vote.  To make one vote takes about 20 seconds.  You can vote as much and as frequently as you’d like.

Here’s what you do. 

 

1.  Go to www.peopleallstars.com 

2.  Click on the Colorado Rockies logo

3.  Vote for Darrell Scott

4.  Refresh the page and it will re-engage the website and you can vote again.

5. Repeat this over and over – - – every vote counts

Thanks again to all my friends for support.

Best,

Craig X. Scott

If you guys could take the time to do this and pass my blog link on to your friends in the next few minutes, it would help greatly!  I’m not sure if it ends at midnight Eastern or Pacific time, but I say vote as much as you can until they tell you to stop!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

<3

 

PS – If you’re interested in reading about Rachel, her family wrote an amazing book called “Rachel’s Tears.”  It’s a quick read and it will change your life.

I Finally Grew a Sack

I did it!  I drove to Nashville, Tennesse from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania!  ALL BY MYSELF!!  I never thought I’d be able to.  My ex lived down here and I either flew or rode bitch every time I came to visit.  Wow… What a waste!  I could have saved a ton of cash if I only had some balls.  (I said that in my head to the tune of the Scarecrow’s ‘If I Only Had A Brain.’)  

Mmm… I love this place.  It’s very quiet.  I’m staying on a farm in a town about a half hour outside of downtown Nasher.  It’s nothing like home, I’ll tell ya that much.  It’s funny, but I don’t miss the hoodlums, the obnoxious bass that exudes from the neighbors’ hoopties, the fear of walking to my car or the hassle of LOCKING MY DOORS!  It’s so peaceful here.  In fact, this is what I was looking at on the way home from pickin up the chillunz from school the other day:

 

I can’t really hate that.  I actually think I’m officially in love with cows.  People think they’re dumb… but they’re like freakin dogs.  When you walk up to the fence, they come over to greet you.  I wanna have a cow, man!!  

I got to drive downtown last night.  Every time I come here and drive down Broadway, my love for this place is heightened.  Maybe it takes me back to a happy time in my life or maybe I just like the lights.  Probably a little bit of both.  Either way, I appreciate it here.  It’s always good to catch up with old friends and spend some time pretending life is this good (not workin, playin with kids and hangin out).  Tennessee was never a place I had dreamed of visiting and now it’s a place I’mma gonna hafta frequent for the rest of my life.  It’s grown to hold such a huge place in my heart.

I’m not sure what this weekend brings, nor do I know when I’m coming home.  I’m here helping a friend with takin care of her kids and I may stay longer than I had intended.  We’ll see.  Anyways… I guess this blog wasn’t very blogtastic, but I felt the need to write… since the day feels so much longer than it actually has been.  

Until next time…

X’s n O’s to all of my HOEZ!!

Go Eat Worms

How does it feel to know that who you know, what your occupation is and what you look like has just about everything to do with who your friends are and why they like you?  Oops, I’m sorry, did I say “you?” I meant, the body that which “you” reside.  Oh, and by “friends,” I meant those who drop your name more than they drop you a line.

So many times, I see beautiful, smart and extremely talented people with millions of “friends” and the ”EVERYBODY REALLY LIKES ME” mentality.  

Guess what?  Nobody REALLY likes “you.”  

Well, your mom does… and your best friend from the block does, but that might be it.  Everyone else just wants to be a part of what they think you might be a part of… what YOU think you might be a part of.  It is absolutely horrifying to know that a lot of us truly enjoy this delusional fantasy life without even realizing how detrimental it can become.  Inevitably, the people who really care for you fall by the wayside… and all the while, you’re too busy losing “you” to even notice.  Poor mom. (Please feel free to replace “mom” with the name of the person(s) you’ve recently dicked over.  And then FREAKIN CALL THEM for God’s sake… before it’s too late.)

I have so many “friends” who have gotten caught up in this.  It makes me sad. 

Without naming any names, mentioning any occupations or using any specific examples, this past year and some of the people who were a part of it have shown me their true (and not so true) colors.  Some good, some bad.  Reality is a real kick in the ass.  I guess all I can do is be thankful for it… and hope that maybe one day my dicker overers will do a Google search for “Jody Gayle, Worms, Dicker overers” and then come back to me.  Cause I miss you.  The you underneath it all.

But to all my REAL homies… thanks for keepin it that way.  I love you. <3

bros before… everything?

Ok, so if when someone mentions the word “bro” to you, either as a noun or an adjective, you may or may not know what it means.  According to a general life guide on How To Be A Bro, bros are simply:  ”the ones with thier torn-up jeans and over-sized flip-flops. The ones with thier polo shirts and Tee’s with snazzy sayings like, ‘Ohio is for Lovers!’”

Well put.

One thing not mentioned in that definition is that: bros cannot handle rejection from a woman.  As a female, every bro encounter I’ve had has turned ugly.  I suppose it’s because A.) I think they’re losers and B.) I tell them that.  

Last friday night, Miss Carley Lenz and I found ourselves in the midst of bros (which is not uncommon on Carson Street in Pittsburgh).  One particular bro made a pretty nasty bro-like comment to Carley.  He asked, “So what did you girls do tonight?”  As Carley began to answer, he cut her off and said, “Hah… Not that I really care… What are you doing AFTER this? Come with us?”

I wanted to punch him in his 5′4” little man body.  I stood directly between him and her and told him he was done here.  In proper bro fashion, he got pissed, ran his mouth and finally walked away… only to continue to take out his bro failure anger on his 2 other bros.  The anger turned into a mini-brawl at Paparazzi’s Restaurant.  (Which is a suite place to hang, btw!)  The two bros held each other tightly as they slammed each other into a few walls of the bar. . . (I thought they were gonna kiss.)  It made me laugh.  Really hard.  So, I pulled out my camera.  I wish it had a spotlight… You’ll have to deal with the darkness, but the conversations these bros have and their inability to carry out a few boxes of pizza make me laugh a little:

 

(Sorry there was no REAL bro-brawling in here… I promise to catch it next time!)

X’s n O’s to all of my HOEZ…and Bros!!!!!!!!!

WordPress Virgin!! That sounds dirty!!

Whuddup, y’all!!  Here I am!  Pressing words!!  

I’ve had this account set up for quite some time, but I couldn’t think of a good opening blog.  I think the opener is important.  You want to hook a reader or two and bring them back for more.  I thought about writing about this woman that I witnessed at the mall a couple weeks ago:  

Mall Picnicing

Then I realized there isn’t much to say about a woman camped out in front of Piercing Pagoda with her baby.  It’s just really freakin stupid.

So this brings us to today – -

I came home from work today to receive a really, REALLY sweet email from a human I’ve never met.  It wasn’t creepy, it wasn’t scary… It was from the heart and really motivating.  I wrote him back and told him he made my day… because he did. 

I want to share this email and encourage you to do something like this for somebody… because it can do wonders for their confidence (to say the very least):

 

hey there! havent talked to you in a while so i thought i’d drop a line. i’m sure this sounds terribly creepy, especially on myspace and such lol but I feel compelled to tell you how talented you are. honestly, ive met a couple models (i’m not Mr. Pimp Daddy who has slept with them all)…i’ve just met them, and clearly you are 10 steps a head of them as a professional and as a human.

i think your work is stunning and you’re photos are breathtaking. and its not just because you’re beautiful…you have such a range that I suppose is rare. you can make a shoot look amazing, whether you’re a pin-up girl, or a crazy punk rock chick who looks poised to beat someone’s ass. not the typical model, looking to be recognized and handed free drinks out in a club. you seem to take what you do very seriously and i have a tremendous amount of respect for that.

beyond the professional”skills” you have, i think you’re hilarious. you’re blogs never cease to at the very least put a grin on my face. your top 10 ways to not pick up a girl had me on the floor. i’m honestly the worst guy on the planet at picking up women in bars. i dont do any of that stuff but ive seen guys do that all the time. and whats the point of trying lol every chick in the bar thinks im juat another drunk fool trying to take them home. its comical yet tragic at the same time. but anyways, i loved the insight and think you’re a wodnerful myspace friend lol

please keep up the good work! you do a fantastic job representing PGH…continued success in the future! talk to you soon dollface.

There you have it – the extra push I need to get my ass in gear and move to a better city with more to offer.  All because of a stranger.  

Hope you all have a wonderful night!!

 

X’s n O’s to all of my HOEZ!!

Jody
