People are dying. You can help stop that from happening... I thank all who have already contributed - I thank all of you who will come forward and save the lives of those who will die without!
You are a blessing to an entire nation in desparate need of assistance!
As of today cholera is waging war against the Nation of Haiti...
There are more than 2,200 dead.
More than 44,000 hospitalized.
More than 94,000 infected.
The Haitian Goverment projects more than 650,000 people... just like you and me... will be infected with cholera over the coming six months.
650,000 NEW cases projected over the next 6 months - in a country smaller than the State of Maryland...
How many will die? How many more children will be made orphans? How many among the dead will be children? Orphans?
This photo is of a two year old little baby girl who lost her battle with Cholera only 60 seconds before this picture was taken. What you see here is the attending doctor binding her feet for burial... This was an absolutely needless death.
As I pray for my Father in Heaven to break my heart with those things that break His own heart... I pray that He lead me to those who will reach out that helping hand that is truly critically important for the Haitian People right now...
We have pilots.
We have aircraft.
We have missionaries willing to deploy and work distribution.
Most importantly... IV4HAITI is a Humanitarian Aid Mission that is NOT a dank and cold blackhole of a money pit that will absorb the contributions of compassionate people trying to help - never demonstrating an "end use" to those funds...
In fact, this mission is one where the donors are only a mere ONE DEGREE of separation from the end result... And you will all be able to follow our progress and monitor our operations as we go back to Haiti.
You will see video and photos of our network of pilots, missionaries, and medical personnel delivering lifesaving medical supplies to Cholera Treatment Centers (CTC's) and Cholera Treatment Units (CTU's) throughout the Haitian countryside, and even in Port au Prince the devastated capital of this broken and wounded nation.
Today, I am selecting photos and video footage to implement in our "campaign information & fundraising video". As soon as this "tool" is completed, I will be forwarding it to all of my friends on Facebook, all of my email contacts, to my family, friends, professional acquaintances, business owners, and even church leaders across the entire nation...
My objective? Kill cholera. Kill IT before IT kills Haiti... Too many have already been needlessly lost to a disease that is easily combatted with the right resources.
Together... Together we can muster and deliver those very resources so that no more innocent 2 year olds are prepared for burial... victims of a relentlessly simple killer named Cholera.
May our Father bless and keep you all...
Paul
