2.1.10
Hello,
We pray this note finds you well! The past few days our hands have been really full and we are sorry that we were behind on the updates. Thank you so much for your patience! Daniel left for Jacmel on Friday and made it there safely . We were so blessed to find a private charter flight that to take him with supplies to Jacmel for free. His presence is a great comfort to everyone on the compound and he is trying his best to manage the difficult situation they all face. As you know, the needs are very intense and people feel hopeless. I am planning this week again to return to the DR to purchase more food and supplies. Our goal is to ship 200 bags of rice (110 lbs each) with the navy ship as well as other supplies like tarp and propane. More people are coming to the compound for food and supplies everyday and we want to meet those needs. I spoke with Edese yesterday (one boy in the homes) and he spoke about his one fear: that he will not be able to continue his education and make the difference he had wanted to make. Like some of our older kids, he had been in his first year of nursing school and we will need to figure out what the next step will be. Please keep Edese and the thousands of students whose schools have all collapsed!
Four kids from the homes: Judeline, Kenlove, Ermiline, and Aulain were on adoption process and flown to Canada on Saturday and united with their new families! Praise the Lord!
Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers!
God Bless,
Marlaine
