More needs - Baby Golson is scooting down the halls…
2 March 2007Dear everyone!
I miss you, I miss work and I hope everything is going well. 
Things are good here. Yesterday I washed clothes for about 5 hours, then in the evening took care of the premie twins while Minnie and Pat went to a church service. It was a nice day, and I really enjoyed being outdoors - on the roof especially.
More needs
Pat has found a source in Port-au-Prince for infant formula - the man she talked to has agreed to give her a significant discount at $350 for 6 cases of formula (equivilent in cost to $5 per 12 oz can US money). This much formula will last approximately 12 days for the 6 babies upstairs. Up until yesterday, the 6 babies downstairs who are barely over 1 year old have been on formula as well, but have been switched to Alaska (whole milk powder). It’s about a third of the cost of formula (still significant). As long as they don’t lose any weight, they will be able to continue on it after this.
Thank you so much to everyone who has purchased blankets and other supplies that are on their way! It’s so true that all is needed. If you feel that you can help this month with the formula, please send me or Pat an email. This source will be the most cost effective vs. shipping it here from the US, which wasn’t true before, so if you can donate money it will go a long way. (Other things are still and are on the list if you click on the Needs link above.) If you have formula to donate, please let me know as well. I’ll tell you how to ship them here. Pat’s daughter Melinda is coming on the 12 and I’ll be able to find out more about the best ways to ship things etc. I do have the address though if anyone wants it.
Ways to donate -
If you have Paypal you may now send the money to Pat’s email address at hchaiti@gmail.com
If you would like to send a check or Money order, please email Pat at hchaiti@gmail.com for the mailing address.
If you live in my home area, you may give money to my Mom or Dad to send for the formula.
(Tax receipts are available - )
Thanks!
