Update on our children's O in Haiti

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
For all who have asked, briefly:

Our children's orphanage (Foyer de Sion) has 3 buildings in 3 different suburbs of PaP: Leogane, Carrefour and Petionville. 2 of the buildings were destroyed. All of the children are reported as alive and are now housed in a church building in Petionville. We were told last night that they have a 2 day supply of food, but no drinking water. One of the mothers who adopted from them in the past was in Haiti on a medical mission when the quake hit ad she is trying to find a water purifier for them tomorrow. The O director suffered a broken leg, we do not know about any injuries to the children or nannies, other than we know one nanny is missing and presumed dead, but we do not know if she was at the O when the earthquake hit.

Please keep Haiti in your thoughts and prayers. And please donate if you have not already or again if you can.

p.s. Our children came home in September, but there are ~225 kids in the orphanage still.

I'm so glad to hear all the orphanage children are alive.

I am so saddened for all the Haitians, but especially the children.

It is so sad to hear about all the devastation. I hope to one day adopt a Hatian child.

We would love to adopt from Haiti as well and my heart has just been breaking for all the recently orphaned children as well as those already in orphanages there. I wish there was more that I could do right now other than just give money. I see those sweet little wounded faces on the news and I just want to scoop them up and love them.

candm, thank you for updating us. Are there any organizations that you feel would best serve Haiti's orphanages in this emergency? Or your childrens' orphanage in particular?
