Update From Haiti: CHRF, Our Partners and YOU Change Lives!
It’s been over a year and a half since we’ve updated our readers with a report on the great things that CHRF and our partners are accomplishing in Haiti with YOUR help, and that’s far too long (http://chrfund.wordpress.com/2013/03/13/childrens-hunger-relief-fund-in-haiti/)! Since our CHRF team visited Haiti last year, our partners have produced some truly incredible miracles, including SAVING the LIVES of young, innocent, abandoned, sick and starving children. When we read that last line do we really let the reality of what is happening sink in? Thanks, in no small part to CHRF and our committed partners and donors, children’s lives are being saved! It takes good people like you to help make stories like this possible! Perhaps this most recent letter from our partners will drive the reality of this situation home: “It’s a fact, together we are making a difference in the lives of thousands of Haitians. It’s only with your help that we are able to reach the families with health care, love, hope and the gospel message.”
- Feeding: Our partners are working hard to provide malnourished children with the nutritious diet that they need in order to fully recover. Currently in 2014 over 450 patients are fed monthly!
- Cholera Prevention: Cholera has taken far too many lives in Haiti. Fortunately, thanks to the dedicated medical staff of nurses and volunteers, our partners have helped treat over 8,000 patients suffering from cholera-like symptoms! Mothers walk with or carry their children for miles in order to receive care from our partner’s medical clinic, as it’s known as one of the best in the surrounding area!
- Medical Clinic: Last year our partners treated over 38,000 patients! Many of these patients were young abandoned children who were literally starving to death! Thanks to our partners many of their lives were SAVED.
