PTL! Our Internet just came back up. It may go off again at anytime.
We have our generator back on and all the dirty diesel cleaned out. Our Haitian son Stanley and staff went to buy some black market diesel for $10.00 per gallon. We are buying 800 gallons. We can only buy so much at a time from the black market. Little Jackson is doing fine, although we lost power 5 times during his 10 hour nightly dialysis.
All of our electric is smooth now with not a problem from our generators. All of our children here at our Children’s Home where we live are fine. All of our 25 FMSC (Feed My Starving Children) food containers are in customs at Port Lafito. I have been concerned that the gangs would be trying to break into the port and ravage everyone’s containers.
I just found out today that Israeli mercenaries are there protecting the port! This is wonderful news! The gangs have taken control of most of the infrastructure of Haiti. The fuel terminals, ports, and water… there are no water lines in Haiti, it all comes in bottles, except those in the countryside who have rivers and streams. The roads are not safe, the gangs are trying to do all the havoc they can because they know their time is about up. The gangs are in control… I’m hearing, praying and hoping the UN will be coming and sending multilateral troops from different nations. Please come! I do believe this will happen soon.
The poor Haitians look so dismayed, sad, and afraid. We all have hope that help will be coming from someone. Thank you for your prayers and financial support, they are needed now more than ever. I feel like we are cut off from the world… Please help.

Also… I also just found out now that the U.S. Coast Guard is now at Port Lafito protecting the port!
