Churches around Mt. Pleasant, MI have raised approximately $20,000 for food and supplies for E.G.O.! One 10'x20'container of food and one 10'x40' container of supplies to fix fresh water wells are being shipped to Haiti and will arrive on
Monday. However, they just found out that to pick up the containers, as
well as an older model pickup truck (needed to carry the supplies), they
will now need to pay customs between $4,000 to $6,000 per container as well as an amount equal to the value of the truck. Needless to say, the orphanage does not have
the resources to pay that price.
Please pray that they might get the containers out of customs duty-free. Obviously if the customs duties cannot be paid, both the food and the supplies will sit in customs unused and will not be able to get to the people who need the food and the fresh water.
