Organizing the Drive

Hello there. I hope someone starts reading this soon. Today I contacted the mayor, chamber of commerce, some local businesses, and university contacts. In short, I laid the groundwork for a donation drive for goods such as bedding, clothing, water, non-perishable food items, and basic first aid and medical supplies (no prescription meds) to be sent to Haiti. We'll see what happens.

Just wrote Aid Matrix in the hopes that they can help in the distribution of goods raised. Partners in Progress will take the rest.

Two big offers so far: Water Purification System and (possibly) damaged pallets from a distribtuion company. Here goes nothing!

Sad note: still no word from Haiti about the Fondwa community, Pharra or Fr. Joseph. Anyone with information on Hospice St. Joseph, please share it here!
