Thank you for your prayers. Because of the growing gangs, shootings, violence, kidnappings, and dangers around every corner, the little street vendors have no money and a hard time selling. Every business is having a very difficult time. Many have gone out of business. Gangs have been told they can go on land and take what they want.

Yesterday we sent out 311,904 Feed My Starving Children meals to 10 different areas. Now as I’m writing this, our workers are giving out more meals. Carlos, George, John Gardi, our Haitian sons, went yesterday to help the workers. Everyone was so thankful! Look at the smiles.

Out of the years we have lived in Haiti, we’ve never seen it this bad, and it’s growing worse by the day. The pain of hunger of the Haitian people, especially the children’s faces each day, really affects Sherry and me emotionally. I thought maybe by now we would be used to this…never will be used to this. Our hearts are broken.

God bless Feed My Starving Children; this morning, just before I started writing this post, Mark Crea, President of FMSC, e-mailed me. He was asking how we were doing. He asked could we use any extra containers of food? I told him we could use everything he could send us…I know FMSC has been limited too.

It cost FMSC around $65,000 to donate us a 40-foot container of 272,000 meals. On our end, it cost us around $10,000 to have each container shipped from up north to Miami, put on a ship, through customs, many fees, huge red tape, transport out here to LAC then transporting the meals into the villages where the needs are.

Please pray what the Lord will have you do. We used to purchase extra food from the port, Casimi would pick it up. Now we have been stopped. Much too dangerous. I would love to purchase more rice here in Haiti, but I can’t find it.
