HAITI IS ALWAYS ON MY HEART......





Haiti is always on my heart. I continue to see the pictures of the "tent cities" and today I saw a picture of children in a classroom under a large tent. I looked to see if they were wearing shoes, could barely tell but saw what looked liked sandals on one child and sneakers on another. I wondered about the other children. I am so happy to see those children, under a tent, still able to get an education, even during these difficult times. Our friends, Bettie Snyder & Pastor Nancy Hart just returned from a trip to Haiti a few weeks ago. They were able to carry in some of our shoes and we are so grateful for that. Bettie, who has lived in Haiti for many years was so heartbroken by the devastation that she saw. Bettie and her son Phil Snyder from Glowmi.org have been feeding 5,000 a day. They have taken on several of the "tent cities" and become responsible for feeding them daily. Our heart is to work with them and get as many pairs of shoes to them as soon as possible. Thousands of pairs of shoes are needed and we want to help with as many as we can. We are not a big ministry and we don't have the "deep pockets" that so many large ministries have today. My husband and I are retired and just want to do what we can to help the people of Haiti and this shoe ministry is what we feel that God has called us to do. We are currently collecting BRAND NEW sneakers, sandals, flip flops, etc. We also are working on ways to ship or carry in the shoes to Haiti. If you can help us with the cost of shipping......that would be a great help to us. We have always trusted God to meet every need that we have and He has always provided through His people. We may be taking a trip to Haiti in April to go and see what the needs are and how we can best help. If you can help us by purchasing shoes or sending a financial donation......we would be so grateful. 100% of your finances goes to buying shoes and shipping. The people of Haiti desperately need our help......... Thank you so much....Merci

You will find the address where you can send donations or shoes on the right.
