EzraJane would like a little help

EzraJane have a great foundation called The Raining Season which helps children in Africa.  The pair are now launching a new project and hope to raise the funds to purchase a building in Freetown, Sierra Leone that will eventually become The Covering, a children's home which will house 86 children.

The talented duo are looking for at least 200 people to make the tax deductible donation of $100. Their goal is to raise at least $20,000 by September 1st when the girls travel back to Africa.

EzraJane blog for a cause

You have to love when singers have a goal that doesn't include record sales.  EzraJane have a wonderful goal and took to their blog to ask for help.

 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Current mood:  hopeful

Ok, everyone....we really need your help.  As most of you know by now, Erica and I went to Sierra Leone, West Africa over Christmas.  We came across an orphanage in desperate need of help.  6 workers on staff, 84 children.....they hadn't eaten in 4 days.  With the financial resources we had on hand, we were able to provide them with enough rice and water to last for 5 weeks.  Needless to say, we all came home with very heavy hearts over what our eyes had been opened to and how we were going to continue to provide for them.

We've been home for 4 months now.  Thankfully, we've been able to send enough money to provide rice and water every month since we've been back.  We do have some amazing people giving every month to help make this happen, but we've been cutting it close the last 2 months.  And now we have 2 more babies thought have been brought to the orphanage.....2 more mouths to feed.

Erica and I struggle on a daily basis...not knowing if we're going to have enough money to send next month to feed all these children.  Our minds are literally haunted by these precious little faces.  So we've decided to take a different approach and just pray that this works.

We have some of the most amazing fans (friends!) on here....and we would love for you all to personally get involved in saving lives!  So I'm asking you, begging you, please do 2 things for us:

1)  Visit this site and see an example of ONE life that was saved.

2)  From that same site, find your ONE life that you can make a difference in

Music is about telling your story....well, this is our story.  And we need your help!  Please spread the word....www.therainingseason.org......

Have you guys checked out EzraJane?

Lauren asked me to check out EzraJane (from The Next GAC Star competition) and I must say that I'm glad I took her advice.  The duo are really, really great.  They look like a blond Winnie from the Wonder Years and a funky Punky Brewster and sing like sweet little country angels.  I have high hopes for these two and have a feeling we'll be hearing more from them in the very near future. 

Besides singing, they also support a charity called The Raining Season.  From the site:

NOW HERE WE ARE, FOUR YEARS LATER, LAUNCHING THE RAINING SEASON. THE MISSION OF TRS IS TO PROVIDE A HOPEFUL FUTURE TO ORPHANED CHILDREN AND IMPOVERISHED FAMILIES IN SIERRA LEONE, WEST AFRICA. IT ALL BEGINS BY MEETING BASIC NECESSITIES THAT INCLUDE: HOUSING, NOURISHMENT, EDUCATION, AND SMALL BUSINESS GRANTS.

Sounds like a good cause.  Check out EzraJane on their MySpace, on Music Nation,
