My mother’s friend (and a good family friend) has a relative in Haiti. She runs an orphanage. After the great earthquake, she sent word to family that she was alright and some pictures of her community.
A woman carrying her grand-daughter after a block well fell on her, splitting her skull wide open. The hospital yard was totally packed with the dead and dying. She was turned away and nothing could be done to save her.
A very emotional time getting the orphans bedded down, comforting our neighbors and each other.
And here is part of the email about the orphange needs:
As you can imagine, there is an urgent need for water, food, medical supplies, and fuel. We are partnering with Abbotsford Vineyard Church to send containers of disaster relief supplies to Haiti as soon as possible. Please check out our website (www.hearttohearthaiti.com) for more information. If you would like to contribute to this cause, please go to our website, click on “Ways to Give” at the top, then “Be a Donor”. In the “purpose” line, please type, “Haiti disaster relief fund”.
