The individual responses to the needs in Haiti have been so varied and astounding! From schools collecting money, to food drives, to container shipments, to banquet fundraisers, to linen drives for hospital sheets...It's been wonderful to see so many different people responding in so many unique ways.
So...if you would like to send some extra sheets that you may have in your linen closet, (or if you would like to buy brand new ones), send them to Everett, who has taken it upon himself to collect them. They will all go to Haitian households who need them and hospital admits who have no resources. In the public hospitals in Haiti, the patient must provide his own sheets, food, etc. Thank you, Everett, for this ministry! Questions can be directed to ramoseverett@yahoo.com

We are going to ship a full container to Jeremie, Haiti! By networking and working together we will succeed. It will take some time and the logistics will need to be figured out, but we don’t have to wait to start collecting. I’m willing to provide storage space for everything collected that won’t freeze in my garage. I figure one bay full of totes ought to fill one shipping container.
Suggested items to collect: non-perishable food(not canned goods), large quantities of rice and dry beans, nutrition bars, cornmeal, children and adult vitamins, dry milk, bottled water, powdered formula, baby bottles, pedialyte(8 oz. size), baby wipes, clean t-shirts, pants/slacks, dresses, and socks/underwear.

Rod is out of town for a few days but I will take messages for him at lisabartow@yahoo.com.
If God lays something on your heart, don't be afraid to pursue it! There are so many people looking for purpose, for opportunity, for ideas...many gifts, one purpose!
