Donations Needed...



Okay all you faithful readers... I need your help!

As you may or may not know RWI is heading back to Haiti on August 7th - 17th. This will be our third trip to the Island in less than a year. I have been amazed at the miracles that have happen right before my eyes while we have been there.
Since the earthquake in January Haiti has all but fallen apart. They need help now, more than ever. Where many aid organizations and the US military have left Haiti, RWI is doing our best to continue our work there that we started long before the earthquake. My trip in April was eye opening to just how strong the Haitian people are and yet how vulnerable they are.

We will be running a medical clinic in a tent city in Santos, Haiti which is right outside of downtown Port Au Prince. The tent city has been dubbed "The Park". There are 200 families currently living there, and more that are waiting for room to open up.

Right now we have a deep need for donations. We need to collect basic medical supplies in order to run our clinic for the week we are there in August...
Can you help us? Every item can be purchased at Wal-Mart, Target, or your local dollar store... A little goes a long way in Haiti. Below you will find a complete list of what we need. If you can help in anyway please let me know!
