There’s been a lot in the press over the last several days about Haiti. Millions of aid dollars given following the earthquake are still winding their way to the people that need assistance the most. Observers are asking a lot of questions, good questions:
- Were the dollars well spent?
- Did those who need them most receive what they needed?
- Did my money make an impact?
- How much is eaten up in administrative costs?
At Mercy & Sharing we want you to know that yes, your dollars do have an impact. Here’s proof:
Meet Caleb. When Caleb came to the Mercy & Sharing Village several months ago, he was so sick and malnourished he could not even lift his head. He couldn’t follow movement with his eyes; he could not even roll over. But after just two short months of work with one of our well-trained physical therapists, Caleb has improved by leaps and bounds! He can roll over, lift himself up on his arms, follow you as you talk and move near him. He can smile!
Caleb can do these things because of you and other donors like you who support Mercy & Sharing’s efforts. As he receives treatment at our new Rehabilitation and Therapy Center, we know Caleb will soon be able to do so much more.
Mercy & Sharing’s Board of Directors makes it possible for 100% of your donations to go directly to making a lasting impact on children in Haiti. Your compassion and generosity has improved Caleb’s quality of life and enabled him to smile! These stories are often lost in the hubbub about Haiti—but we want you to know the dramatic, personal difference you are making everyday.
Thank you!
