Supplies

I just got word from Ohio that HIS Home supporters are filling up a shipping container with supplies to get shipped to Haiti. The shipment is going to be leaving from Richmond, Indiana on March 3. I am planning on driving to Lima on Sat. Feb 27 to deliver any supplies that we have gathered by then. Right now we have about 250 pounds of formula, medicines and clothing. If you would like to donate the greatest needs are childrens medicines (cough, fever etc.) and infant formula. If you can get it to me then I will make sure it gets to the container on time.

Also, the HIS Home 300 MI route is nearly completed. We are beginning to recruit riders for this large fund raiser for HIS Home. Check out the link to the his home 300 michigan route for all the information, and please contact me with any questions.

Daphna and Gracie are an absolute joy. We are having fun introducing them to everyone who has been praying for them for so long. Gracie should start seeing specialists in the next week or so and we will begin to determine the extent of her disabilities.

Also, continue to be in prayer for Hal in Haiti. The political situation has become very frustrating, and the adoption and humanitarian parole options are at a stand still thanks to foreign intervention, specifically UNICEF who has been granted authority over the care and movement of orphan children. UNICEF opposes international adoption of any sort, and while they do alot of good work in providing medical care, shelter, education and food, they also are proponents of abortion and population control. They are not allowing any children to leave Haiti at this point.
