Devastating Earthquake
We are raising money to help with relief efforts in Port-au-Prince, as they deal with the horrific effects of yesterday’s earthquake. What exactly this money will be used for will depend on the greatest needs in the coming weeks. We will post more information as we have it. If you would like to give, you can donate online on our website (www.growinghopeforhaiti.org) or you can send a check to:
Growing Hope for Haiti
927 Wooden Drive
Florissant, MO 63033
Please include a note designating that the money is for earthquake relief. Any amount, big or small, is welcome and will be used to help people through this devastating disaster. PLEASE keep the people of Haiti in your prayers. Please pray for those still trapped in the rubble, and for those working to rescue them. Please pray for all the people sleeping (or not sleeping) in the streets of Port-au-Prince tonight, filled with fear and despair. Our hearts are broken for them right now.

Hi Gina,
I’m sorry– we just got this message today. We are in Haiti and have had limited internet access. The address we provided is not a drop-off address. Right now we are not collecting any items for Haiti, as access to the ports is very limited so it is difficult to ship supplies in as a small organization. We are raising money for a permanent housing project though, so if you would like to donate, you can mail a check to that address or donate online at growinghopeforhaiti.org. Thank you for your support!
