Many of you asked how you could help out those affected by the earthquake in Haiti and we responded. Through your generosity and genuine concern, over $8,000 was raised that goes towards supporting Catholic Relief Services in Haiti.
Thank you to our generous Alive in Hope Foundation supporters who showed their deep concern and care for those in need in Haiti.
On January 12, 2010, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leveling the country's capital, Port-au-Prince and leaving thousands homeless and without food and water. The response from Haiti's caring neighbors has been overwhelming by providing supplies, technical assistance and other support. Your contributions provided both immediate relief and long-term support.
Thanks to generous donors like you, Catholic Relief Services has been able to:
- Distribute food to 264,200 people, and non-food items to 25,000 people
- Install four water storage and purification units in various areas of the city, and water and sanitation assessments in another 14 locations
- Provide medical materials and supplies, volunteer doctors and nurses, food, water and other support to expand emergency medical care at St. Francois de Sales Hospital
