If there is a doctor, who can get on a plane to Ft. Lauderdale yesterday ASAP, loaded with medical supplies, WE WILL FLY YOU AND TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO CARREFOUR!!!!! Jon is still flying. He leaves again sometime before 7 p.m. We are running low on supplies.
My sisters are nurses and don't have the necessary skills to do the things that have to be done.
Jon says there are 4 or 5 acres of supplies sitting at the airport, most of it UN. Not leaving. Why can't they give us some medical supplies???? We are NOT AFRAID to go into the streets! We are somehow able to leave the airport with trucks full of white faces and supplies! In 30 minutes, our people are in Carrefour, from the airport in P-A-P.
Here's the story in Carrefour: the people have organized themselves into tent communities. Those communities have committees of people who represent the group. They have formed their own form of representative government! What a testimony to the Haitian people!! Some of these committee members are coming to us with the needs of their larger community. It is safe, it is peaceful, but it is desperate. Heidi, April and Kate are moving among the injured, cleaning and bandaging. Bry said he and Trav had to clear an area of debris and are on their way to help medically, but they are soon going to run out of stuff.
Our friend Dieudonner is taking 60 Port-au-Prince people from the Petionville area, where he is one of the committee leaders, back to his home town of Jeremie. The Haitian have been working since day 1 and now we are working along side them.
If there is a spontaneous doctor out there...we need you. You can be working in Haiti within 24 hours.
