Thank you for caring about the needs of the downtrodden and truly oppressed people of Haiti. Even in the best of times, Haiti is an economically challenged country, environmentally ravaged by years of out of control harvesting of its natural resources, and a land where basic needs like food and clean water are a daily struggle. The 2010 earthquake has amplified the pain and suffering to a level seen only a few times in our human history. The misery of the masses is compounded by substandard medical care, lack of shelter, and no hope for adequate employment.
Even the healthiest of Haitians will be hard pressed to survive the next several years while the country rebuilds. The thousands of amputees and severely injured are relegated to a near certain "death sentence" if they do not receive mental and physical therapy, as well as prosthesis' and physical training to regain mobility. Hope for Haiti Healing is the website and organization representing the Haitian response team for the United Aid Foundation. It beagan as a ministry outreach of the First United Methodist Church of Auburndale, Florida. Led by Michael Wnek, it has successfully ministered to thousands by delivering food, water, juice and foodstuffs to the hardest hit quake areas. At the same time, this ministry has delivered medical supplies, including antibiotics, trauma care products from suture kits to wound dressings, and external fixators. All supplies have been purchased with donated funds or rounded up from benevolent physicians and by support staff like Paul Sifton, and outside resources like John Alex, president of the United Aid Foundation. As a result of numerous trips to Haiti in concert with the United Aid Foundation it was decided to blend the two organizations, and Mr. Wnek joined the board of the United aid Foundation. Both organizations have similar operating platforms based on an all unpaid volunteer Board and senior staff and a committment to deliver every possible dollar to the needy. Thus far 97 -98 cents on every dollar donated gets to Haiti, and is personally delivered to the truly needy. All activities are now directed by the Board of Directors of the United Aid Foundation
Our current focus has shifted from relieving hunger, thirst and pain to building permanent housing to move those languishing in refugee camps into permanent earthquake and hurricane resistant housing. You can help in the restoration of body, mind and souls of our most beleagured brothers and sisters by donating to this cause. Please help.

Look Who's Helping...
JD Webb Lends Support
| JD Webb, one of the most famous wakeboarders in the world, has stepped up and asked his friends and fans to help rebuild homes for Haitian earthquake victims. He has volunteered to travel to Haiti personally and begin homebuilding in the next 4-6 weeks, depending on when the building materials clear customs. He is also appealing for financial aid. You can make a difference whether you donate a dollar or a thousand dollars. You may not even have a dollar but you can do your part by posting this appeal on your facebook page and asking your friends to do the same. You can help us get over 300,000 kids out of wet, muddy tents and into a secure home. |
