We are continuing to see the crisis in Haiti unfolding. As we watch we see so many barefoot children & adults and tonight I saw a girl with flip flops that didn't even come to her heels. With all the rubble, concrete, and dirt, the people are even more open to cuts, bruises, scraps and infections. We are asking you to consider collecting BRAND NEW shoes, athletic shoes, sneakers and also we are adding flip flops for this time. They can be any size from children to adult, male or female, any style.
Many people now are in Refugee camps, without much water or food. We are also trying to help www.Glowmi.org purchase food and water, they have been there for over 30 years and really are making a difference. On Sunday they fed 500 people in one of the camps. Today they took equipment to build latrines and also gave them a 1,000 gallon water tank that they will refill when necessary.
Our desire is to do what God has called us to do but we need your help. Please talk to your school, your church,your clubs and ask if they could help purchase shoes. We will do what we can to help alleviate the suffering in Haiti. May God bless you for your kindness, I know the ones who get the shoes will say "merci"
Thank you to a church in Humble, Texas for 138 pairs of shoes! We hope to have them on their way to Haiti in the next week or so. We are so grateful to you all!
The 100 children in Port au Prince Orphanage are safe! They ran out to the field and laid down on the ground. We are so thankful for each one of them! Praise God!
