Hey Everyone! I would like to thank you for helping Ayuda out by continuing to vote everyday for our mural projects and for spreading the word to your contacts as well. As you know, we’ve been hanging in there around the 140’s for a while and in order to receive the grant, we must be in the top 10. While that seems pretty unlikely at this point, I would like to share with you a new development with a new goal that I wish you to consider. This process of voting has spread the word about the exciting things that we are doing in Hunting Park through the arts and right now we have more momentum toward our work than we’ve ever had before. Real momentum. People momentum. I have been approached by 5 people who have promised that if we can end the month of May in the top 100, they will each give $100 towards our projects this summer. Yes, that’s less than our stated goal, but if you know Ayuda, you know that we can do ALOT with very little. So my request is two-fold: #1: KEEP VOTING! Don’t give up! At one point we were ranked 109. I believe with 12 days left in May, we can be in the top 100. and #2: Would anyone like to join our friends and pledge a donation for the projects if we reach our goal? Email me at mharriman@ayudacc.org.

The kids in our art program are collecting change everyday for our mural projects, and as we see our jar filling up, our kids are realizing that we each play a small roll in accomplishing GREAT things! Let us each play our role… play it faithfully… and we’ll see what the summer will bring. Thanks so much for your support. – Michaelanne Harriman.
