Hi everyone:
As you know the four containers of 180,000# food, tarps (specially donated for use on the mainland) and a few tools for the W.I.S.H. program (again, specially donated) finally got shipped to St. Marc. The containers have sat there under lock and key while being processed by Haitian customs. Youth with a Mission (YWAM) staff in St. Marc, Haiti has graciously been helping with this processing and we just got word from them yesterday that each container will cost $800, for a total of $3,200. At present, we know of no money available to put towards these fees.
If anyone would like to help with these costs, we - or rather - the hungry poor and needy on La Gonave - would greatly appreciate the help in getting these containers freed up so the contents can be distributed.
If you are led to give, our daughter Veronica is the contact/go between with the YWAM base personnel in St. Marc so her organization is the best one to send donations to for this purpose as she will wire it to YWAM St. Marc and the personnel there will give it to Haitian customs.
You can make your donations payable to “YWAM” with ‘Help Haiti’ on the memo line and send to:
Accounting Office
501 Blacktail Rd.
Lakeside, MT 59922
or you could go to http://www.ywammontana.org/helphaiti where you have the opportunity to donate via credit card.
Where is our help going?
