Notes

GRAND RAPIDS, MI. JANUARY 14, 2010 Rays of Hope for Haiti has several programs promoting education, medical assistance, and children’s orphanages and feeding programs in Haiti. Through the sea container project we have also developed a friendship with numerous nonprofits working in Haiti who share our vision of bringing direct aid and sustainable change to the people of Haiti.

In this time of crisis, Rays of Hope for Haiti needs your help. The disaster is overwhelming and any gift of material supplies and financial assistance is so greatly appreciated. All of our programs in the Port au Prince area have been devastated. In addition, we have confirmed reports of one of our orphanages collapsing with fatalities being among the young children. First we urgently ask you to pray with us for our families in Haiti. In addition we need to get immediate assistance to help our children and so many in the surrounding areas that have been impacted by this devastating earthquake.

Our financial needs include funds to facilitate shipping of relief supplies to Haiti in the immediate as this will be a long term effort to help rebuild after the immediate need is over. We also have need to help get medical attention to the children hurt by the collapse of their home and to find them alternative places to stay.
