Haiti is in Crisis

As I am sure you know by now unless you have been living on the moon lately that Haiti has had an earthquake that for their country is huge. Although Randy and I are not living in Haiti right now and due to health issues cannot even attempt to go there, that doesn't mean that we don't care about Haiti and love the Haitian people. Our hearts are still for Haiti.

I am going to put some of the pictures at the end of this blog. You have probably seen some or all but I can't let you forget what you have seen. You must remember and you must do something about it. I am going to give you several Missionary organizations that I know are doing a good work there in Haiti if you wish to go to their web sites and make donations I know the money would go straight to the Haitian people in some form of aid. Right now they need medical care, food, clean water, clothes. In the future they will all need places to live so housing will need to be built. But right now to be honest what these ministries need is money. There is no way for us to get actual goods into Haiti at this time with the port being destroyed and trouble getting planes into Haiti at the airport.

If anyone wishes to donate to us "Our Hearts for Haiti" I will send the money on to two Haitian Pastors we know in Haiti. Pastor Edner Blanc and Pastor Voltaire Baptiste. They both pastor churches and do a great work there in Haiti for their own people. I will tell you that we DO NOT have a 501 (c) 3 so we would not be able to give you a tax deduction for your taxes. I just want to be very honest and upfront with everyone.

OK here are some of the ministries that I know are doing a great work in Haiti I will just put their web address and you can find their information on their web as to how to donate to them
The last news we heard on Tara & Troy Livesay is that they were able to send their 5 children home on a military transport but they are saying they are about to run out of fuel and that the stations that are open are now charging $14.00 U.S. for 1 gallon of gas. They need the fuel to run their generators so that they can help the people.

Livesay Haiti Weblog This is Troy and Tara Livesay

Children's Care Outreach This is Glenn & Donna Hayes.

Love A Child Ministries This is Bobby & Sherry Burnette

This is a view of a typical street in Port-au-Prince

We have been told from a missionary in Haiti that 90% of the building in Port-au-Prince have collapsed. Some that did not collapse at the immediate time of the earth quake have fallen since then.


This is damage to the slum area of Port-au-Prince

This man just found his wife and 10 month old daughter lying with the dead.

PLEASE you have to help these suffering people. They are not responsible for the suffering they are being forced to endure.
