Hope for Haiti's Children - Earthquake update

 

EARTHQUAKE UPDATE | MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 2021 Dear HFHC friends, As you may know, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti this past Saturday morning just east of Les Cayes in the southern peninsula. At least 1,200 people have died, with many more deaths expected since hundreds are still missing. We are in close contact with seven Eglise du Christ congregations in the impacted area, including Chambellan Eglise du Christ -- where HFHC crisis relief funds rebuilt the Christian school/church after Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Thankfully, this building was spared, but there are many homes of members in Chambellan and six other communities in the O'Kay area which have collapsed. We are thankful to report that none of our HFHC facilities received damage, and all of our sponsored children’s families are ok. However, we have spoken with former HFHC volunteers, HFHC staff member relatives, and friends of this ministry who have lost their homes and are sleeping in the streets. With virtually no government help and no insurance to rebuild, we are asking for your prayers and your financial help. Today, our Haiti staff is purchasing tarps, solar lights, propane stoves, cast iron skillets, cots, and other essential supplies to transport to those in urgent need. Be assured that your donation will fund the purchase of these goods and will have a direct impact in helping these devastated communities find help and hope in the midst of yet another tragedy. We are so grateful for your generosity. Donations can be made at www.HopeForHaitisChildren.org designated toward "Earthquake Crisis Relief." God bless, Ken Bever HFHC President CLICK HERE to give TROPICAL STORM GRACE IS APPROACHING Tropical Storm Grace is due to arrive in Haiti today. Many people are without shelter and currently in the streets with their possessions. If you would like to keep track of the storm, Visit the National Hurricane Center. Please continue to pray for Haiti and support the relief efforts from the earthquake. Thank you so much for showing love and care to Haiti.
