==============
With hospitals collapsed throughout Port-au-Prince and scarce supplies, medical care is of urgent concern throughout Haiti. Many injured Haitians are being transported to the Jesus Healing Center, a medical facility we support through Love A Child, in Fond Parisien, approximately 30 minutes from Port-au-Prince.

Ways You Can Help:

Pray fervently for everyone affected by the earthquake
Donate financially. By supporting financially you can bring immediate relief to those suffering.
Donate medical supplies. You will find a list of the most needed items and how you can help provide them.

Supplies and Doctors Arrive Safely
Our medical missions’ staff has been working tirelessly to secure relief for this facility. After many hours of phone calls and coordination, we’ve shipped 19,000 pounds of medical supplies to Miami, en route to Haiti—including a portable X-ray machine.

A thank you from Sherry Burnette, cofounder of Love A Child.On Tuesday, January 19, we sent 3 orthopedic surgeons, an emergency room physician, a Love A Child staff member and 904 pounds of the 19,000 total pounds of medical supplies to help with the efforts following the deadly earthquake in Haiti.

The 3 orthopedic surgeons have already begun performing surgeries at a hospital in the Dominican Republic, near the Haiti border. The ER physician is treating patients at the Jesus Healing Center, and referring those who need surgery to the hospital in the Dominican Republic.

A special thank you to Major League Baseball players Pedro Martinez and Juan Guzman, and their wives, Carolina Martinez and Ana Guzman, as well as Hammond and Associates for all their help. Their support was instrumental and critical to getting the relief in place.

Other Relief Efforts
All of the grocery stores are collapsed as well, leaving people desperate for food and water. Love A Child staff members are taking disaster sacks into the city to distribute. Each sack contains clothing, food, toiletries, and other items to help the homeless and hungry.

We’re also supporting the relief efforts of Convoy of Hope, which is currently distributing food and water.

“The situation regarding food and water remains dire,” says Kevin Rose, Haiti director for Convoy of Hope. “The lack of fuel and security issues has made it very difficult to move food around the city. But through our network of partners, we are getting food into some of the most desperate places.”

Get Involved: Immediate Supplies Needed for Haiti Relief
We have all been stunned by this disaster in Haiti. But thankfully, if we all do our part, we can help in a big way. Love A Child, our ministry partner in Haiti, is caring for those injured in the recent earthquake and are in desperate need of medications, medical supplies and other miscellaneous items.

This is your opportunity to get involved. Come together with your family, office or church and send as many items as soon as possible. No donation is too small. Every little bit helps.

Because many of the hospitals collapsed during the earthquake, Love A Child is treating patients 24 hours a day at the Jesus Healing Center.

Thank you for your support. And please, don’t forget to pray for everyone who has been affected by this disaster.
