FW: writing from Haiti..

finally got on email..the little things we take for granted, a bed, water electricity..a blanket,, i stopped at tent city outside the palace that had falled in the square..somone begged for blankets..begged for support..

begged for help..what do we do..

driving thru the streets of Port Au Prince, you can smell horrible smells outside buildings that have been crushed, where bodies and souls now lay..you know death had hit there..people live in the streets at nites..making not only the parks tents cities, but the streets tent avenues...tons of concrete from homes is being brought to the outskirts of towns now...

towns being brought to their burial grounds. The people are hurting, medicines, blankets, etc..People are migrating out to the outskirts of the cities, and to towns that will now house new residents..We brought medicine to an outskirt town and found many needed it, the mayor had made an extensive list there, for supplies...

Habitat is going to be giving out transitional shelter kits first, then transitional shelters, that the supplies can be made into core houses, permanent homes. I visited homes today that Habitat had built..in the outskirts of Por Au Prince, strong homes, 200 inone neighbhorhood had been bjuilt  Please spell check Ron and Wayne as it is hard for me to read with no lights..invertors are running the computer...here..

God bless everyone, take nothing for granted anyone..each second, each minute is gift...Join us in Habitat, we will make a long term difference here in Westchester and in the world, because of your hands, hearts and help...for Haiti and everywhere....
