  • HELP US HELP THEM!

    Dear Friend, Our third trip to Haiti is in the calendar! On March 28, a new group will go to Haiti to spend a week at the Cabaret Orphanage. Our goal is to see 300+ patients a day and to provide assistance to over a 1,000 people in the community. In its short existence, People for Haiti has helped hundreds of Haitian citizens who are still suffering the consequences of the January earthquake. We’ve helped get thousands of doses of medicine to people in need, delivered hundreds of tents to the displaced and provided emergency care for many Haitians. But our work continues

    Dear friends and family, In a few minutes, I'll begin my trip to Haiti. I wanted to send a quick message to everyone that has contributed to this relief effort. In my 4 duffle bags (packed with medications and supplies) and in my heart (filled with hope and energy) I carry a little piece of each and every one of you. I am an extension, of your goodwill and am humbled by your generosity. I will take with me all your wishes, thoughts and prayers and will deliver them to the poor people of Haiti. Together we will be saving many lives,

    Hello everyone, Today it has been a long and productive day!! Due to the high number of emails we've been getting today, we found a way to make it easier for people to donate money to People for Haiti... we were able to ad a "donate buttom" in our blog, and it takes you to PayPal, and people can make donation by credit card, checks, etc... and they don't need to have a PayPal account... this will make easier for everyone! Leo and I also finished packing his 2 bags... actually almost... we still need to go get the medicine we order with

    Hi everyone... few more days, and we will be leaving to Haiti!!  I am so excited... can stop thinking of what we will see, experience... what can I do make their lives a little "easier".... thousands and thousands of ideas!!  My mind will not stop!!!  As I sat down to count pills, packing, doing an inventory - I realize how HAPPY I am for doing this... it has been a while since I felt so "good" about myself!  Not too long ago, I was telling Leo that, even though I was very luck, had a wonderful family, great
