Help End Local Poverty had no official presence in Haiti, however, that doesn’t mean we’re not going to help out. I’ve connected with my friend Aaron Ivey, who has adopted two children from Haiti, and one child still lives there. He works with an organization called Real Hope for Haiti. Therefore, we’ve decided to invest in that organization as well. 100% of all proceeds will go to that ministry, so they can serve the people of Haiti.
Here is our immediate response:
T-Shirt Campaign: We’re designing some t-shirts that we want to sell, but we also want YOU to sell them. What if we can sell 500 shirts, or 1000 shirts? We could raise $5000 – $10,000 to serve our friends in Haiti. Anyone can help us do this!
We are also praying about taking a trip to Haiti in the next 30-60 days to do relief work. There are going to be massive needs, and most likely years of work ahead. If you want to give and or go, please leave a comment, or email me! chris (@) helpendlocalpoverty (.) com!
Prayer Needs: We are looking for an investor to help us purchase a large quantity of shirts, so we can keep the cost low and get the shirts distributed to various churches who want to sell them. All funds will be paid back when the shirts sell. Please email us: chris (@) helpendlocalpoverty (.) com.
For those who want to give directly to our Haiti Emergency Relief Fund, click on the PayPal button below. 100% of all donations, (minus transaction fee’s) go to Real Hope for Haiti.
