Rebuild Haiti

Dear Friends,
The magnitude of the destruction in the Haiti earthquake is overwhelming at times. There are so many people that need help in the form of food, water, clothing, medicines, and rebuilding supplies. It’s hard to know who and where to help.

Rice Project

I am going back to Haiti on Monday, February 22nd and am trying to raise some funds to buy rice for some of the people around us in Leogane. Many have no homes and are living in the street or in fields in temporary homes constructed of sheets or tarps. Many of our church people as well as our employees lost their homes and are also living under some makeshift tents. If I could supply one family with a 110 lb bag of rice that should hold them over for 2 months or more. The cost of one 110 bag of rice is $65 US. If you are interested in assisting in this way please send your check or cash to my home address before the 22nd at Trish Mullet, 1399 Ragersville Rd. SW, Sugarcreek, OH 44681. Please put “rice project” in the memo.

Reconstruction

My heart cries out with many of our Haitian friends gazing at what once used to be their home now condensed into a twisted mound of concrete and rubble. Their life savings has been reduced to nothing within seconds. Some of them try to salvage a few pieces of wood and tin to construct a small shelter to sleep under. They have no one to turn to as everyone is in the same boat. How will they rebuild unless someone is willing to share with them? Many had little to start with and now life has become even more difficult. How can I stand by and watch them suffer? I have nothing to offer as my house too has collapsed, but I can be their voice in asking for assistance. If you feel led to help in rebuilding I am collecting gifts of money to buy supplies as soon as the rubble has been removed and construction gets underway. For many this will be the only light at the end of the tunnel. You may not be able to help all of Haiti but you can make a difference in the life of one family.

For all tax deductible contributions please send your checks to Blue Ridge International: 570 S 700 E, Montgomery, IN 47558. Be sure to put Trish/RBH (ReBuild Haiti) in the memo. If you don’t need a tax-deductible receipt you can send it to my home address: 1399 Ragersville Rd. SW, Sugarcreek, OH 44681.

Please keep the Haitian people in your prayers.
Trish
