Haiti Aid Request Dear friends
and family, I
am taking a medical team to Haiti from Lansing, Michigan
on February 10 - 21. As you all know the need there
is horrendous. We will be taking doctors, nurses and
some ancillary personel. We need to purchase medications
and medical supplies and I am asking you for donations to
purchase these supplies. The team is paying for their
own travel and expenses. I
have attached a letter about the trip including supplies
we are looking for. If any of you wish to contribute
we think cash donations are better, as we can buy most
of these supplies and medications in bulk through our hospital
pharmacy. If
you do wish to contribute to Haiti medical care, 100%
of the contribution will go to purchasing medications
and supplies. They have nothing there, no pain
killers, no antibiotics, no wound care - nothing. Everything
we take will alleviate suffering and save lives. Contributions
are tax deductible through Limon Aid (which is a charitable
503c organization). We will mail or email receipts
for all contributions. Make
checks payable to Limon Aid, and designate on the check
- FOR HAITI Mail
to: Limon
Aid 2570
Koala Drive East
Lansing, Michigan 48823 Please
consider making a donation. When we return we will
bring back pictures and post a blog about our experiences
there. Many of you have contributed to our Honduras
medical mission trips in the past, and I cannot express enough
thanks. A little bit does so much. We have seen
antibiotics save lives and legs and arms - IV hydration has
brought babies and children back from the brink of death. I
know what we will see and do in Haiti will dwarf what we
have seen and done in Honduras. Please help if you
can. You can make a huge difference with a little
help. God
bless you all, Susan
