Good news for tents!
Update on the housing needs caused by the earthquake:
Praise the Lord—we have had an anonymous donor offer to purchase two family-size tents for every one purchased by other donors! The tents we need cost [about] $180 each. Each tent will house one family for up to a year while they rebuild their homes. The need is great for 1,000 tents throughout the hardest-hit areas of Les Cayes and Jeremie in southwest Haiti.
To provide the funds for a tent, please call our office at 239-210-6107. For those who want to order a tent through our Amazon wish list, please let the office know you did this so our anonymous donor can match your gift with two more tents. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/genericItemsPage/21AOGAFSX5O82
The biggest things you can do to help are spread the word… and as always, pray as God leads you!
When we all move together on behalf of the Haitian people, great things can happen! If you can make one tent happen, now three tents will be given to those who need them most! Thank you, friends, and partners. Love is something you do… together!
More updated news:
Casimi made it back here last evening. Now he is ready for another container load of rice.
All the rice, cooking oil, and condensed milk left yesterday evening from Port-Au-Prince by boat to Jeremie. The rice company put heavily armed guards on the boat. They said because gangs may attack the boat at sea. Mayor Yvrose will be ready with 20 security guards when the boat arrives between 9 and 10 AM this morning.
More news:
Last evening a 4.5 magnitude earthquake struck near Lasile. Jesse Ostrander told me he and our staff ran out of their rooms scared to death.
Today Jesse, Hubert, and our staff will be in Lasile distributing food.
Today Sherry and I may be in Jeremie. If not, then first thing in the morning.
We are concerned about how to get there. Waiting on a confirmation…
I know one thing in the future, I’m wanting a small plane so we can go places and get the job done… I’m a pilot and in the past have flown 400 trips to Haiti until my right engine blew up!…
Love is something you do!
