Dear friends;
This is just a short note with a picture. We wanted to show you the first truck going down to Port with 56 bags of charcoal (for cooking), meds, 15 boxes of food from "Kids vs. Hunger," and clothes. All the clothes came from UCI board members here in Haiti. The truck will be going down with my 3 brothers-in-law who will be distributing the supplies to people in their neighborhood who they know are in need. They also will be going down with money to buy water to distribute. Then this truck and another truck will be going to Carrefour, the site of the epicenter, to retrieve my last brother and his family as well as many others who need to be evacuated. We will be evacuating more than 200 people tomorrow. We will be taking them up to the Plateau. We will be giving out food to the refugees when they get here. All this is because you have so generously given. We are just starting--we will have much more to distribute when we are able to buy food and supplies in Cap Haitian or Ouanaminthe. We also will have a better idea of how things go after tomorrow. Thank you.
Pray for the safety of this endeavor. There are many people who would steal a truck filled with supplies. It is a truck with a closed bed so we hope that will keep them safe. We need to get people out of Port. The stench of the bodies is horrible; people can't breathe. And the food and water and gas situation is difficult as well.
God bless you all!
JeanJean and Kristie
