Good Morning! Many have asked how to get involved and where to send money. Here is a place to start! Thank you so much!
Following are: a note from Don & Doris's daughter on the state of things at E.G.O. as well as a list of supplies needed by the orphanage at this time. The list is by priority (at the top) to wish list (at the bottom). Shipping information is located at the bottom as well.
*******************
Mom and Dad have about 20 refugees right now which doesn't sound like much in the scope of things, but what most people don't know was there wasn't much food to be found at least a week before the quake. Most the grocery stores were closed (the big ones) and when they sent someone into Port for provisions, very little was found so their provisions were almost extinguished then. 3 men are flying down this week via Missionary Flights Int'l but only allowed 2000 lbs (including the weight of the men). That's not much when the need is so great. I just know that there will be another opportunity soon... we just have to be ready. They're going to buy as much beans, rice, and powdered whole milk they can get their hands on. One of them will be carrying money on them from headquarters. Gas prices are high ($20.00 a gal) and the storage batteries for their solar panels are used up. They have to run their small generator to call or use email. Thank you so very much for your prayers and encouragement. If everything was a total loss, and my parents and everything were lost, God would still be worthy of our praise because He is God Almighty, a Sovereign, Holy and most Powerful God. And, one day everyone will bow their knee to worship Him, whether they served Him or were His adversaries, and proclaim, "The Lord, He is God!"
Love you, Vickie (Don & Doris daughter in Florida)

***PLEASE CONSIDER THIS: EGO has to pay MFI $1.50 per pound to ship everything into Haiti. Please send MFI the money to pay for the air flight into Haiti. Thanks.
Praise God for the outpouring of support and prayer for mom and dad and EGO. God is supplying and people are responding to the needs both financially and by donating their time to travel to EGO and provide medical care for the influx of refugees.
