Patricia was on a recent whirlwind fundraising trip for her charity, the Give Love Foundation, and raised an incredible $100,000 at one private event. Great news for her and the people of Haiti who are benefitting from her incredible charity and her mission.
Here’s a couple of nice articles about the event, and a video interview with Patricia talking about her project.

A drama, shot in documentary style, that tells the story of a parent-child relationship as the boy matures from a first-grader to a college freshman.
Trivia: Apparently filming began 2001 and will continue until 2013, and the film is said to be released 2015. Director Richard Linklater has been very hush-hush about the project but I am sure that this will be one of mis masterpieces and worth the wait.
Copying this quote from someone who was at the fundraiser in Houston, who kindly shared their thoughts about it with us. Thanks for sharing.

Houston – April 14, 2010
Thank you Patricia Arquette, architect Christopher Robertson, hosts Carolyn and James Robertson, Ibiza and all the friends and supporters of the Give Love Foundation for the wonderful and enlightening fundraiser in Houston, Texas. If you were there in Houston to see what this collaboration of passionate humanitarians are envisioning, championing and actually constructing as we write, you too might feel compelled to join in their efforts in whatever way you could to help build clean, safe, functional and sustainable homes (being constructed out of shipping containers), with potable water, drainage, sewer facilities, along with a safe clean water well, in a community that is being literally carved out of the earth and reborn like the Phoenix.
The Houstonians were very moved and generous, however, much needs to be done.
So if you have donations of supplies, materials, skills, toothbrushes, seeds, food, fuel, ideas, medical supplies or money, this is a great way to make sure your investment is actually getting to some of the families who need it with a foundaton that has an active game plan and willingness to explore options that will make a difference for about 3,000 good, displaced women, children and men who are hungry, wet and living on the ground in makeshift tents with the barest essentials, if that, in the rainy season.
The site is on a former bottling plant and the children were playing barefoot on the ground which was littered with broken glass until Patrica got there and helped rake it up. There is one muddy well that the people are using to wash, bath and unfortuneatly probably get their water supply from..and we know this means the spread of disease. Give Love is working on plans to reconstruct the well, provide showers…well they they would be better at telling you all their plans.
We hope our small involvement will make a difference in helping Patricia, Christopher Robertson, and the Haitian team, to further their goals of building housing in Haiti to help a small group of families. We also hope that perhaps what they are doing will foster that seed within you of helping your fellow man. The Give Love Foundation is great!
Let us know if we can be of any help whatsoever.
Much love and light,
Karen and John E. Bradshaw, Sr.
