Dear friends,
We wanted to update you on the current cholera situation in Haiti, specifically in the North near where we work. Unfortunately, we have gotten word today from our friends on the ground there that it has gotten much worse even in the past two days. Limbe had 25 cases yesterday and reported 60 cases already this morning and are in desperate need of supplies and medicines. Limbe is located just 30-45 minutes from Lagosette, just east of Cap Haitien. After much discussion and prayer, we have decided that the time has come to begin mobilizing assistance to help. We are currently communicating with our partners here in the US and people on the ground in Haiti on how to best help with this crisis. Global Health Innovations (GHI) is the sister medical organization of MGM and all funds and supplies will go through GHI in directing assistance. We ask for your prayers during this time and also ask you to go to the GHI website (www.globalhealthinnovations.org) to donate and help us to bring comfort and healing to those affected by cholera in Haiti.
