THE NEED CONTINUES IN HAITI
Amount raised to date: approx $173,000
Immediate funding required: approx $385,000

Here’s what we’re doing:
(as of 2/12/10)

1. Two containers are being readied for Global Missions, our partner in Port-au-Prince 

2. Our partner in the Dominican Republic, Fundacion Romanese, distributed 100 wheelchairs into Haiti within days of the quake. Check out our blog to learn more at www.freewheelchairmission.org/blog. Routing wheelchairs through the DR has been quick and efficient and FWM continues to support Haiti’s island neighbors with two more containers on the way.

3. Direct Relief International included 200 wheelchairs with a shipment of medical relief.

4. Operation Blessing International requested and will receive one container.  

5. Christian Aid Ministries requested to import a container into their U.S. warehouse, to be included in upcoming weeks with relief teams into the region.  

6. Caribbean Medical Transport has requested for a container – while details are being determined, more containers are on order that will be available for immediate assignment for Haiti.  

7. FWM is organizing a mission team for mid-April to assist Fundacion Romanese.  

8. Giving Children Hope will receive 100 wheelchairs from our U.S. warehouse to join a container planned for early March.  

Your donations are vital to this effort! 

We estimate that in the next 12 months,
FWM will have the capacity to move 12 – 15 containers
(550 wheelchairs each) into Haiti, but only if we can
secure adequate funding. 

Please give generously.

19-year-old Sounlove Zamour was close to graduating from high school when the quake robbed her of not only her father, but both her legs.  No longer able-bodied, this bright, independent young woman must now navigate the loss of her father, her city, her future, and her mobility.  For Sounlove and thousands like her, a wheelchair could be the key in this devastated nation.
