We continue to receive many requests from people wanting to send teams to help the Haitian people. We are humbled by so many wanting to be a part of trying to rebuild lives and homes. The two surgeons from Owensboro...Dr. Milem and Dr. Hurley...have spent endless hours doing surgeries on so many patients under less than desirable circumstances. They given their time and their talents to help those in need. Dr. Milem will be returning back to the US tomorrow and Dr. Hurley will be coming back on Friday. The Lord is their rewarder but we just want to say "thanks and we appreciate all you've done."
I received a call from my brother around noon today telling me that a local company had 100,000 lbs of pasta to donate if we could use it. WOW! That's a lot of pasta. We went to the plant to see if it would be something we could give out. We are going to try to ship 4,000 lbs of it on the shipment of supplies that will be going out of Owensboro to Nashville on Thursday. From Nashville the medical supplies, food, etc will be sent to Haiti in a container on Feb. 8th.
Talked with David tonight. He had a good day. The bank we use will open tomorrow....he was able to purchase 4 batteries and a MIRACLE happened as he and Sheryl were driving up the street of Delmas. Sheryl saw that Eagle Market was open and said for David to turn into the parking lot. There were only about 5 cars at the store. They went in and asked if they could use a Sogebank (Haitian Bank) US dollar check or a credit card and the owners said yes. They started filling their baskets with needed supplies. When they came out of the store the parking lot was full. Evidently the store had been open for less than an hour when they went in. I'm sure there won't be many supplies there by the time they close. God is good and He provided some much needed items.
