Lovingkindnes of Florida

Lovingkindness of Florida

Our vision is to help relieve the suffering of people and organizations that are generally overlooked by other non-profit organizations. The help we intend to provide is related to the basic needs: food, health, education, shelter, and spirituality.

Our mission is to be a very trustworthy resource for all compassionate people who would like to donate money and have confidence that 100 percent of their money will go directly to the people or organization in need.

About us: In the past few years I did fund raising among my family, friends, and their families in Thailand and the USA. We targeted the poor children in rural areas of northeastern Thailand. In this area there is the highest percentage of poverty in Thailand.

A few weeks ago I was asked by my best friend in Thailand, Varin Sripraphawadee, RN, to help raise money to purchase a dialysis machine for the Fifty Years Mahavachiralongorn Monk Hospital. This is the first monk hospital in the northeastern part of Thailand. It is a ninety-bed hospital in the province of Ubonratchatanee, which opened in October of 2005 to provide health care to monks, novices, nuns and lay people who live in nearby districts. Ms. Varin went to survey the situation and discussed with the medical director the best possible way to help. Due to the insufficient funds in the budget the hospital still needs many medical instruments. We decided to help them purchase a Dialysis Machine which is very critical to help relieve the suffering and to prolong lives of patients with kidney failure.

The price of a Dialysis Machine is 480,000 Baht or about $13,500 USD. So far Ms. Varin has received donations of 210,000 Baht or a little less than half of what's needed. About $6000 USD is still needed to reach our goal. This is a much bigger goal than I had in the past. I really need your help.

That's why we formed LOVINGKINDNESS OF FlORIDA, INC. On September 19, 2006 we incorporated as a nonprofit organization with 501c 3 status so all contributions would be tax deductible.

Please consider helping this project succeed. Your help and support are very much appreciated no matter how small a donation. The most valuable is your compassion and caring for other beings who have much less opportunity in life. In order to reach more people with this letter please pass it on to friends, business associates and family.

With respect and lovingkindness (METTA)
