First and foremost, thank you for your generous contributions in the last 5 days! Your donations are going directly into the hands of those most impacted by this devastating earthquake. We plan on giving you frequent updates, as they come in, with respect to where your money is going and how we’re distributing it to our community.
As of Aug. 18th, 2021 we have two primary areas of focus:
IMMEDIATE NEED – food & water
Our team on the ground will be traveling to the southern region of Haiti this week to purchase food and water.
There, they will then distribute the food & water to the people of that region.
Thanks to your generous contributions of $3000 USD, Evens and our team have coordinated efforts to purchase water and food kits.
Each food kit lasts one week for a family of four. Kit contains: spaghetti, rice, beans, cans of sardines/salmon, sugar, oil, flour, and evaporated milk. Cost per kit: $15
Our goal is to reach 1000 families.
SECONDARY NEED – medical assistance
Still assessing the need and our options at this point in time.
We are currently in contact with a local Haitian organization to help us with the medical staff needed (doctors, nurses, etc) and necessary resources (medications, supplies, etc) to assist the people in need of that community.
We will partner and join forces with an organization already on the ground to provide as much medical aid as possible.
More details to come…
Right now our biggest focus is the food & water urgency, as well as executing our plan to distribute these food kits. We will report back very soon regarding our medical partnership.
We still need your help to reach our goal of 1000 food kits - so please share this with friends, family and anyone who can contribute.
Thank you,
Fran
