Missions of Love

Gentlefolk,

A nightmare beyond your wildest imaginings is unfolding in Port-au-prince, Haiti as I write you this fervent plea. Hundreds of thousands dead, many more seriously injured and dying as we speak. The medical and surgical implications are beyond description. The needs would seem insurmountable, yet, as always in the past, Americans will be touched to be of help and surely help will come again in this horrible situation.

Here’s a list of actual supplies and meds we need immediately. Beyond that, money in any amount will buy much needed meds in Port-au-prince IF they are available. Materials: Dresssings of any type (tape, gauze, Kerlix, ace bandages, roller bandages, ABD pads, 2×2s, 4×4s, bandaids, perineal pads) Plaster or fiberglasss splinting materials Syringes with needles, (2.5 to 10cc, 20g. to 25 g.) Alcohol /Betadine pads or wipes Betadine solution Surgical instruments (i.e., suture removal kits, procedure kits) Burn dressings Silvadene cream Vaseline Meds: Topical antibiotics (Neosporin, Gentamycin, etc.) Antibiotics, any (amoxicillin, tetracycline, cephaloxin, ciprofloxin, sulfa-TMX) Painkillers, any (Tylenol, acetominophine, ibuprofin, naproxen) Deliver any medical supplies or meds to Reflection Of Christ Church 222 Main St Hartford, KY or in the Florida area to Dr Johnson at 621 Morning Cove Circle, Palm Bay FL 32909 Or phone us for a pickup at your place: (270) 315-7284 or (270) 315-7489.

We’re sending in $2000 cash with Dr Cenord Guerry, who flies in tomorrow with Vanessa Carpenter of Angel Missions Haiti to mobilize their clinic on Rue Delmas to its maximum ability to intervene, triage and treat the thousands of wandering wounded. But many thousands more will be needed over the next several weeks.

I’m going down with a team of 14 and hope to carry many duffel bags of supplies and medications in with us on Jan 31st.

Please send any donations marked “earthquake relief” to MISSIONS OF LOVE, Inc., PO Box 292, Hartford, KY 42347. You’ll receive a receipt for tax purposes.

Please spread the word in your church, workplace, friends, neighbors, etc. to help in any way they can. God bless all! Dr Bob and Betty
