We took donations @ Remixed for 4 weeks and donated $300.00 to World Vision to help with the Haiti Relief effort today. Thank you so much students and adults for your giving to and prayer for Haiti. I chose the “Haiti Relief and Long-Term Support” option when I called in. I copied the information below off of the World Vision website to let you know how your giving will help. The website states that “Thanks to US government grants, your gift will be multiplied 3 times in impact.”
From the World Vision website:
“As many as 3 million Haitians have been impacted by the massive earthquake that struck near the capital of Port-au-Prince on January 12th. Many survivors have lost their homes and loved ones. World Vision was equipped to begin an immediate response to this disaster, but we need your help to continue those efforts. Today, your gift to help with immediate and long-term needs in Haiti will multiply 3 times!
Please support World Vision by sending a gift to rush lifesaving supplies — including food, clean water, blankets, and shelter — to children and families devastated by the earthquake. And because our commitment to Haiti will continue after the immediate disaster response, your gift will also support our long-term efforts to rebuild lives and communities in Haiti. Thanks to US government grants, your gift will be multiplied 3 times in impact.
World Vision has worked in Haiti for 30 years and has more than 800 staff on the ground. Please pray for children and their families who have been affected by this disaster. Also pray for World Vision staff as they provide emergency relief in the days and weeks ahead, and over the coming years as they rebuild. Pray that God will bring hope out of despair as He builds a new Haiti from the rubble.”
Thank you again for giving. I have attached the World Vision Haiti Relief Fund address if you were not able to give at Remixed and you would like to give. Copy the address below and paste it into your web browser.
