November 17th, 2011 One Year of Cholera REAL HOPE FOR HAITI – ONE YEAR CHOLERA REPORT

One year has come and gone, but cholera is not going away and neither are we.  We know that many of you have kept up with the cholera situation over this past year and we appreciate that.  There have been many of you praying for us, the staff and the patients.  We have had many come to help care for patients, clean, fix tarps, play music to calm and encourage, and even dump buckets.  There are many organizations and individuals that have sacrificially given funds, staff, medications, and supplies.  We could not have cared for so many without your help.  We continue to offer our hands for God to use to care for these patients.  He is using many of you to fill our hands with supplies to make the Cazale CTC run effectively.  I can not to begin to name everyone that has helped, but here are a few – Christian Aid Ministries, Heartline, Dr. Jen Halverson, IOM, Americares, Grassroots United, HaitiServe, Love-A-Child, Ceralyte, Drip-Drop, Austin Stone, Samaritan’s Purse, Global Outreach, MSPP/DSO, J/P HRO, Medical Teams International, International Aid, Healing Haiti, Michael Rudolph, Acts2HelpOthers, Agape Flights, Better Health for Haiti, Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church, Debbie Woodward, Lorie Geiger, Haiti Mission Project, North American Rescue, Caring Partners, International Action, Artist for Hope, North Christian Church, ACWAM, Caroline, Trinity United Methodist Church, Hilfe Weltweit and Anna (my jumping buddy!).  THANK YOU!  Those two small words just don’t seem to capture the deep gratitude that we and our patients feel when we think of all that you have done to support us in this effort.
