First Trailer En Route to Haiti!

Word has come that our first trailer has set sail and is on it's way!!

From Jim Frankenfield's Facebook status earlier this afternoon..."The ship actually left Port Everglades, Florida at 2:30 this morning en route to Port Au Prince, Haiti, for arrival March 30, 2010. On April 5, 2010, there are 5 of us going to Haiti to unload this trailer and feed, house, give relief buckets and Bibles for 3,500 people, am I anxious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is exciting news for us here at TENTS FOR HAITI Project, but we also need to stay focused on what we need to be doing to get the 2nd trailer on it's way! Please help us keep the momentum going forward and also, please pray that the customs process for our first load is expedited and that our team members would have safe travels next week!

I got a really great phone call on Friday from John Yoast, the morning host of another local Christian radio station, WBYN 107.5 FM, and he told me they are giving us 220 tents and he is sending me checks that were sent to the station, which he is signing over to the TFH Project!! Thanks to WBYN and their GM, Doug Meyer- we appreciate your help & support!!

We are so thankful to God and to the great listeners of the station for donating their tents and monies to this cause! God is moving and we are finding doors opening that are helping us in our efforts to send much needed aid to our Haitian friends.

Is there something your business could be doing to help the TENTS FOR HAITI Project? We are open to any suggestions you may have for helping us raise monies to keep financing this project...maybe you could promote a day that your employees could bring their lunches and donate what they would have spent at a restaurant, or maybe you could "charge" a donation for coffee that might normally be free, or maybe you have a service type business that could donate a portion of your proceeds for a certain amount of time.

Any or all of these ideas would be a way to generate funds that are helping to keep people alive- I am not exaggerating about this. During rainy season, especially this year with circumstances being what they are, disease runs rampant. People will die if they are not provided with clean water and medical supplies, both of which our project is able to give them.


Even though we are suffering with a bad economy, we Americans are so blessed. We have more money slip through our fingers in a month than many Haitians will see in a year, or two! What small sacrifice can you make so that a life can be saved? Personally, I stopped getting my nails done so I could donate that money to this project, and believe me when I say this is no small sacrifice for me! Could you make coffee at home and donate whatever you would normally spend on coffee at Wawa for a week? Or could you make dinner at home and donate what you would have spent at dinner at a restaurant for a month, or just a week?

Everybody can do something, in a big way or a small way, and as we are fond of saying "Every motion forward, whether a jump, a step or a crawl, is a move in the right direction."

Please consider a donation to the TENTS FOR HAITI Project- we promise that 100% of the money donated to us will go to Haiti and the Haitian people to help them on the long road to recovery.


Thanks so much for whatever you can do!
