2nd Earthquake Update
hi from haiti
This is the worst thing to ever happen to Haiti. The worst news will come tomorrow. My heart is so heavy. We just got our 15th or so after shock tremor. Some last for 10 seconds. It is very scary.
By tomorrow morning, our webmaster will have a donate button for you to help with this crisis. We will be helping as many people as we can, in our points of light, and neighborhood in the next few days and weeks. We will be helping with medical help, food and drinking water. No amount of money will be enough but whatever we get, every single penny will go to help these poor people. Sadly, we already have some deaths in our points of light, we will need to help with that.
We are all sleeping in the courtyard outside as the houses keep shaking. Much of our inside stuff was broken but house seems solid. we will check in the morning on structural damage.
We plan on leaving at 5am before sun up to visit our villages. Several motorcyles have come to our house from the village checking on us, with terrible reports of death and destruction.
Our Roger came home 30 minutes ago, fell into our arms, He was at Bible school in a building that collapsed, he was injured and walked the 5 miles home. He lost some classmates.
Our board of directors were scheduled to come this week but we have cancelled the meeting. This will last for a long time. Just now another tremor, about number 17. We have reports of much looting going on. Our guard did not show up today so I am standing guard duty over my sleeping family in the courtyard.
We just got full supplies this morning, praise God. God placed us here for such a time as this. We will do our best to be Jesus to these people and bring relief.
Side note, I brought a little blind boy home last week, 7 year old and blind since birth. What a sweetie, Jovens. We will seek medical help to check out his eyes.
Also, just heard the UN headquarters collapsed. checking the report, will give you update tomorrow afternoon or night. Pray will ya, still unaccounted for is Manel, Jony and Clasimay., tom
