UPDATE!
Hi everybody,
As most of you know, Haiti was hit by a devastating 7.0 earthquake January 12, 2010. Susan and I have been doing business in Haiti for over 22 years and have developed many friends there that we consider our extended family. We both feel a bit helpless not being able to do more, faster for our friends in Haiti. So after much consideration we have come up with a care package that we know will be handed directly to the people that need it most. Having travelled to Haiti for over two decades, we recognized what is considered necessities in helping start up a new household and this care package consists of the following items that will be packed in a box small enough so each recipient can handle it easily.

Five Gallon Plastic Bucket
Pack of 6 Cotton Towels
Cotton Fleece Blanket
Metal Cook Pot
Blue Foam Sleeping Pad
Pack of 5 Cotton t-shirts
Pack of 10 Bars of Ivory Soap
3.5 lb. Can Powdered Milk
Case of 12 Packs of Tuna
Plastic Bowl
Set/2 Flashlights With Batteries
Large Box Saltine Crackers
40 oz. Jar of Peanut Butter
2 Pack Storage Containers
4 Pack Metal Forks
4 Pack Metal Spoons
4 Pack Metal Knives
6 Pack Emergency Candles
Bag of 50 Tea Light Candles
Roll of Duct Tape
3 Packs of Stick Matches
Pocket Knife
8’x10’ All Purpose Tarp
70’ Roll of Plastic Multi Use Clothes Line
Pack of 4 Tooth Brushes
Large Tube of Toothpaste
Bag of Blow Pops Candy
Box of 64 Crayons
Coloring Book
Pack of 2 Plastic Drinking Cups
Baseball Cap
Extra Cotton T-shirt
Rubber Shoes
Triple Antibiotic Ointment
Bandages



We are sending these care packages along with medical supplies and other necessities in 40’ containers to Port-au-Prince. All of the goods will be distributed to those in need by Victor Boulos, our good friend and colleague of 22 years. Victor and his family have been involved day and night since the earthquake, transporting doctors and aid back and forth from the airport and housing over 30 doctors in their home. His daughters have been serving as nurses in the makeshift hospitals, helping with surgeries and coordinating medical supplies.

The boxes are all packed and ready to go! Thanks to the Magnolia Roller Vixens for the awesome help! More money has gone to buy mass quantities of essential supplies: diapers, rice, beans, tents, tarps, toiletries, oatmeal, water, etc. to fill up the rest of the container. We will load it up Thursday, February 25 and send it back to Haiti.
Your donations are still coming in, and we will make sure Haiti benefits from every penny. Thank you:)
