Ways to help Haiti …

Category : Blog

Lorraine and I have been asked a lot over the last few days ways in which people can help the situation here in Haiti, and if we knew of any organizations specifically that is in need of some immediate help.  We have compiled a few different organizations that we have some connections to.  The biggest need is most definitely prayer at this time, but supplies and donations are necessary also to help save lives.  Below is a letter from a Doctor friend who we trust that has an organization called Missions of Love.  In his letter you will see specific needs and a good place to send donations.  Please read the letter!
Gentlefolk,
A nightmare beyond your wildest imaginings is unfolding in Port-au-prince, Haiti as I write you this fervent plea. Hundreds … of thousands dead, many more seriously injured and dying as we speak. The medical and surgical implications are beyond description. The needs would seem insurmountable, yet, as always in the past, Americans will be touched to be of help and surely help will come again in this horrible situation.

Here’s a list of actual supplies and meds we need immediately. Beyond that, money in any amount will buy much needed meds in Port-au-prince IF they are available.

Materials:
Dresssings of any type (tape, gauze, Kerlix, ace bandages, roller bandages, ABD pads, 2×2s, 4×4s, bandaids, perineal pads)
Plaster or fiberglasss splinting materials
Syringes with needles, (2.5 to 10cc, 20g. to 25 g.)
Alcohol /Betadine pads or wipes
Betadine solution
Surgical instruments (i.e., suture removal kits, procedure kits)
Burn dressings
Silvadene cream
Vaseline

Meds:
Topical antibiotics (Neosporin, Gentamycin, etc.)
Antibiotics, any (amoxicillin, tetracycline, cephaloxin, ciprofloxin, sulfa-TMX)
Painkillers, any (Tylenol, acetominophine, ibuprofin, naproxen)

Deliver any medical supplies or meds to
Reflection Of Christ Church
200 Main St Hartford, KY

or in the Florida area to
Dr Johnson at 621 Morning Cove Circle, Palm Bay FL 32909

Or phone us for a pickup at your place: (270) 315-7284 or (270) 315-7489.
Please send any donations marked “earthquake relief” to MISSIONS OF LOVE, Inc., PO Box 292, Hartford, KY 42347. You’ll receive a receipt for tax purposes.  Please spread the word in your church, workplace, friends, neighbors, etc. to help in any way they can. God bless all! Dr Bob and Betty

Once again these are folks we trust and have a wonderful medical mission here in Haiti.  Also there is an organization named Lifeline Christian Mission in Grand Goave that needs help.  There website is www.lifeline.org, if you want more information.  And finally we are connected with some friends in Port-au-Prince involved in an organization called MCC.  They do a lot of different things in Port-au-Prince, and will most assuredly need your help and donations.  Many blessings to you all!

This is a tragedy that no human being should have to endure, but sadly it is a reality in our world. I just can’t believe I personally have family that are in the midst of this devastation. Praying every hour of the day for your safety and for others as well.

Kyle and Lorraine,
We have been bugging CGCC regards to your safety and we learn you are well.
We will be donating to the Missions of Love to aide the Haitians in this horrendous time.
We continue to pray for you and your mission there even though we got out of contact when we moved up north. We are now in Payson and you can see the email address has changed. We pray for your goals and your safety and after reading the November and December news, your health.
We are so glad your Mom and friend got to come to see you.
We appreciate all you are doing in spreading God’s word.
Bless you, Dave and Sue Osborne
