Tropical Storm Isaac ripped through the Southeastern region of Haiti where I was just weeks before. It affected many of the people that I met while I was there and to whom I have committed to help.

The good news is that the Let Haiti Live youth and staff are safe. In addition, the work that we did in the area was not affected. Our construction has held and, most importantly, the youth that we worked with can never lose the knowledge and time that we provided.

The bad news is that the Let Haiti Live’s main office’ roof was blown off by the winds. In addition to no longer having a main office for operations, Guerlyne, the program director's Cyvadier home is no longer inhabitable. Many of the youth also need some basic support, as their homes were also affected as was their parents’ main harvest of the season.

We ask you to help support Let Haiti Live in this time of need in any way that you can.

Funding will go to:

reconstruction of the main offices

financial support of the staff, youth and their families

operational expenses incurred during this emergency phase

maintaining programs for the duration of this year

We will raise the money between now and September 14 - the sooner the better to be able to provide folks with quick assistance!

Thank you for all of your support.
