A catastrophic event in such a fragile country ... please keep those in Haiti and at Pwoje Espwa in your prayers. Thankfully, the children and staff at the Espwa orphanage are okay from any immediate impact of the earthquake, but they will feel the effects in the weeks and months ahead. As history of similar, but even less intense, disasters in Haiti have shown, food & supplies will be difficult to obtain and prices will soar. Here's an excerpt from Fr. Marc's blog today. Please help if you can.
Help!
Thank you for your supportive comments and for your prayers. Matante was overjoyed this afternoon to hear that her two daughters in Port-au-Prince are safe and that her grandson is fine. Two of our monitors, housemothers, have lost family in the earthquake. We have been inundated with people asking for money to get to Port-au-Prince to find their relatives. Maxime, who was recently married, lost his sister in the disaster and will be heading to PaP as soon as possible. It is hard to keep up with the individual stories. Some of you have asked how you can help. Well, the easiest way is to go to our website at freethekids.org and make a donation so that we can afford to buy food, supplies and help out individuals and families in need. Your help is deeply appreciated. Keep us in your prayers. Father Marc
