All of us here at Real Hope for Haiti are very happy to announce that
the goal has been met to cover the expense of the Spring shipping container!
Thank you so much for all your contributions that allowed us to receive so many important supplies.
The smiling faces of kids from the Rescue Center cheered you on,
but there are many, many people that will benefit from the items on this container.
We all thank you!
This need is met. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
The Rescue Center and Clinic have been running low of funds for several months now. We are making ends meet the best we can but have some needs that we need met to be able to give the same amount of service to those in the clinic and Rescue Center. Over the next few weeks we will be sharing several ways that you can help us to continue to serve those in our area.Our first need is for some medical cassette test for use for our women health screening program and the children admitted into the Rescue Center. We need to make a purchase with in the next few weeks to be able to continue testing for the children and the test for the women health program are close to being finished.
These test are very important for us to test the children for HIV, malaria and several other sicknesses that they might have. The test work out well for us as they are quick stick test and can be done right at the clinic. If we do not have these test we have to send the children to other facility that are far away. Many times we are unable to do this due to the child being so ill that they cannot travel. These test help us to determine which medications to give the child quickly.
The Women’s Health screening is helping 100′s of women in our area. They are excited to be able to have a place to get safe testing done an get treatment if needed. There are many test done for these women but several of those are purchased from the same company that we get the testing for the kids.
If you would like to donate to this special need we would greatly appreciate it. You can use the paypal button in the upper right hard corner of the blog or mail in donation to Real Hope For Haiti/P.O. Box 23/Elwood, IN 46036 Please include in the memo “lab test” for us. We continue to be thankful to each of you that donate to the work in Haiti. We could not do what we are doing without the continued support of many. To God be all the Glory!
The shipping container has arrived!
It’s time to unpack….that means it’s BANANA BOX TIME!
Lots of medicines to unpack, too. All hands on deck!
Let’s check in with Deana to see how far we’ve made it with paying for this shipment of treasures……
We have 1,090 boxes funded! Hooray!
Our goal is to fund all 1,200 boxes that were shipped on this container.
That means we are 110 boxes short of our goal.
Could you help us with that?
Talenson would like to “say” a word about this……
“Nap time in my crib will be so much sweeter,”
“…because new crib sheets and blankets have arrived!”
“And check this out! New clothes, too!”
If you haven’t had a chance to donate towards the expense of shipping this container, maybe you could consider doing that today. We are only $1,100 shy of our total goal. Talenson and all of the children in the Rescue Center, along with the thousands of people that pass through the RHFH gate each month, will all directly benefit from the items shipped. It’s a huge blessing to so many.
Thanks. From Talenson…. and all of us here in Cazale.
This is from a new friend of RHFH who is working to get cloth diapers for the 75 to 80 kid we have in the Rescue Center and ICU. Here is the post from their facebook page :
“Are you ready to rock change? We’ve partnered with our friends at The Little Bee Co. to provide blessings of diapers! Here’s how you can provide four (yes, FOUR) cloth diapers to babies in need for the price of less than 1. Go towww.thelittlebeeco.com. Select your diaper. At checkout, enter JAKE for 30% off. Then, more blessings kick in. A match is made from Jake’s Diapers, so you are actually getting 2 for 1. But then, The Little Bee Co. matches those 2, thus 4 (YES, FOUR!!!!) diapers are donated to the babes in need for less than the price of 1!!!! The coupon code JAKE is only valid for donations to Jake’s Diapers, as this will help us get many many diapers to cute little keisters in need!
What if you want a diaper for your cute little fluffy babe? You can still help us!! Just put in the comments that you want your diaper twin to go to Jake’s Diapers, and it will!!! Because, for each diaper you buy from The Little Bee Co, one is donated to an orphan in need!!!
Who’s ready to ROCK CHANGE? Let’s get this party started and see how many diapers we can get for our little Peruvian and Haitian friends in need!!!” – Jake
How many diapers do you think we go though in 24 hours with 75 (average) kids? It is a lot of diapers! Maybe you cannot purchase some to help us out with this need right now, but you have some diapers you would like to donate. Great! You can send them to:
Debbie Woodward Main Office Northrup King Building 1500 Jackson Street Minneapolis, MN 55413 contact info debra_woodward@msn.comOr maybe you are looking for a sewing project for you or your small group. You can go to this facebook page to get some idea of sewing project you can do for Real Hope For Haiti.
Or maybe you like to call, email and network. Could you find a place that is willing to donate gently used cloth diapers. Maybe you have a cloth diaper service in your area that you could talk to for us to get donations.
Please consider one of these great ideas to help us continue to have diapers for the children that we serve.
The Real Hope for Haiti spring 2013 shipping container has been packed and is on its way!
BUT….
It’s not here yet, and we haven’t received enough funds to cover the total cost of shipping it.
So how far have we gotten towards our goal of funding all 1,200 boxes?
Well, let’s ask Sain Vique if we have reached our current goal of 900 boxes…….
How are we doing, Sain Vique?
Oh, yeah! We made it to 900 boxes!!!
Next step: 1,000 boxes, and Deana is here to bring on the cheering.
Remember, it’s just $10 to cover the cost of shipping one box on the container.
Each box is filled with important supplies that will help so many people in and around Cazale.
We need to raise enough funds to cover the expense of shipping all 1,200 boxes on this container.
Could YOU help us…even if it’s just sponsoring a box or two?
From ALL of us at RHFH, thank you!
Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
1 Peter 4: 8-10
Love each other deeply, because love will cause many sins to be forgiven, Open your homes to each other, without complaining. Each of you has received a gift to use to serve others. Be good servants of God’s various gifts of grace.
7-12 If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That’s to prevent anyone from confusing God’s incomparable power with us. As it is, there’s not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that we’re not much to look at. We’ve been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we’re not demoralized; we’re not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we’ve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn’t left our side; we’ve been thrown down, but we haven’t broken. What they did to Jesus, they do to us—trial and torture, mockery and murder; what Jesus did among them, he does in us—he lives! Our lives are at constant risk for Jesus’ sake, which makes Jesus’ life all the more evident in us. While we’re going through the worst, you’re getting in on the best!
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust the Lord with all your heart, and don’t depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in all you do, and he will give you success.
