Mission Lazarus (JTB’s sister and bro-in-law’s outfit in Honduras), along with Healing Hands International and Mobile Medical Disaster Relief, has identified a specific problem that they are uniquely situated to address: the lack of anesthetics for necessary surgeries for the survivors of the Haiti earthquake. Right now, several members of Mission Lazarus are in Haiti, delivering the first rounds of these medications, and we can help them supply more.
CCfB’s special collection for this effort is today–but for those of you who couldn’t make it, if you would like to contribute to this specific effort, go to missionlazarus.org and make your donation through PayPal–don’t forget to include the word “HAITI” in the details area to indicate what your donation is for. Whatever we collect from individuals, CCfB will triple using our general funds…so just like with NPR, those fundraising professionals, giving one dollar is like giving three.
And thank you.
P.S. If you’d like, a great way to keep up with what Mission Lazarus folks are doing in Haiti (and Honduras) is to follow @MissionLazarus on twitter.
Listen to this:
“Jen
Our haiti account was $300 in the red and I was buying $3500 when you wrote. Thanks so much!!!!”
CCfB’s matched total is an impressive sum for the small bunch of folks we are–and it covers a lot of the purchase JB’s referring to in the above email (which will be on a plane to Haiti this afternoon).
Thanks, everyone.
