If you have followed my blog you know i have a heart Haiti and have spent a significant amount of time there. What you may have not known is I am planning to return in 6 weeks and now hope to return sooner. Despite the tragedies that have occurred in the last 24 hours I have every intention of still going at the end of February and if I can come up with the money to get there and put a team together I will go sooner. Here is an email you will probably be receiving if I have your email, but just in case I knew this blog would hit a lot of people. Please pray about helping. Please pray for this country and these people. Please pray for God to move in a mighty way in the midst of this tragedy and for people to turn to Him. God is in control, I believe that…and He will be glorified in this mess. Contact me with any questions via the email me link on the left. Read how you can help below.
If
you are in my address book, you are receiving this email. If you would
like to help, I will give you a few ways you can as well as
update youon my current situation. I am sure by now you have heard of the
tragedy that took place yesterday in Haiti. The capital Port-au-Prince
where approximately 2,000,000 people live has been destroyed. It is
truly heartbreaking, whether you have spent time in the country or
not. Some of you received an email a couple weeks sharing about an
upcoming trip I am taking to Haiti in February. This trip is still
scheduled and if I can get there earlier to help then I will do so. As
long as a plane will land I have every intent of going. I am currently
unemployed and in in transit so whatever I can do to help this country
and people I love, I will. Unfortunately, being unemployed limits my
ability to help financially so that is where I need you to help. I am
sending this email to 700 people. If everyone gave $10, that would be
$7000 towards relief efforts. Let’s be honest..$10 is one meal at
Panera, I’m broke and I can afford that. I think the pictures all over
the web and facebook will give you the motivation to do so. (Click
here to see the one on my facebook: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3835952&l=8ea943f420&id=502501431) There are two ways you can go about helping. Keep reading.
You can make the checks out to me or if you want a tax receipt to
Canaan Orphanage. Canaan is a 501(c)3 organization run by my friend
Chris Hlavacek. You can also give through the Canaan Orphanage
webiste: http://www.canaanorphanage.org – this is set up through paypal. The money will be funneled to where it is needed and use it to
get help down there along with food and medical supplies.
The
reports from Canaan are good. They are safe. There were 3 kids that I
know of who were in Port that they have been unable 
to get in contact
with. All cells in Haiti are down. Pastor Henry has also had no
contact with his family, who all lives in Port. This morning Pastor
Henry and Elsie went in to Port to try to find them. Please pray for
Pascal, Stepenson and Yolnide…as well as many former Canaanites and their families who live in PAP. I have also received updates from Dony St. Germain
and the orphanage connected with Christ Covenant. They are pretty far
from Port and reports are good. Some damage, but not devestating.
This country needs are help. Even $5
makes a difference. Thank you for reading this. God is in control and He will help His people.
Peace-Liz
PS
– If you live in the Charlotte area, please keep reading: Two needs:
Going to try and collect extra supplies to take down in Feb. If you
have medical supplies or clothes you would like to donate, please
contact me via email. I will be back in Charlotte on Feb 2nd. Also,
this is a request outside of Haiti. I am really in need of a truck or
suburban to move stuff to NJ. The rental trucks are outrageously
priced for my current financial situation. If you can help or know
someone that can, please let me know. Looking to move stuff in Feb or
early March. Can give a honda accord in exchange for a truck. THANKS!
