Hi Everyone,
We just got more details on the shipments of food and supplies that we helped to ship to Haiti this week. I'm so thankful that our collective effort is already having a big impact. Here is a thank you note from our contact on the ground in Port-au-Prince. Please note that these shipments are helping not just Port-au-Prince, but also La Gonave and Petit Goave! Here are the details:
Hello All,
Today, I wish you could take a look at our “degaje” storehouse. Saturday 3 pallets of food and medical supplies arrived via Missionary Flights International (MFI) and today the remaining pallets are to arrive. Please thank all involved for their help in shipping this amazing amount of goods!
When medical teams began arriving and no supermarkets were open I must admit I felt a little panic. We divided the first shipment 3 ways, some to the field clinic in Petit Goave, some to the house on LaGonave and the rest here in Port-au-Prince. Medical supplies will also be divided between the field clinic & the LaGonave hospital.
At this point we aren’t asking the medical teams to pay a per diam for their stay (how could we ask people to pay to drag a mattress outside each night to sleep under the stars?). This food shipment allows us to provide meals to the medical teams without taxing our budget, nor asking these teams for money.
As well, the 25 ice chests filled with necessary items are an amazing blessing both for us to pass along and for all of the relief workers to know that North America is remembering them.
SO thank you again for your care of us!
Blessings to All
