COVID-19 Update

It should come as no surprise that the Covid 19 pandemic affecting the US and the rest of the world has not ignored Haiti.

When you think it can’t get worse for Haiti’s struggle the Pandemic comes along and the results are devastating. Folks with so little resources find existing food prices soar, virtually non-existent health care strained with a virus that takes significant resources to combat that they don’t have, and limited employment opportunity is made worse by stay at home orders... all combined exacerbating their plethora of problems.

Our Pastor Occius requested food and cleaning supplies for church members who were fast becoming desperate.

CFM had sent money for several food distributions at the churches as well as money for bleach and other disinfectants forsanitizing church buiildings and homes and soap for hand washing.

Occius has recently been so ill he was hospitalized for 11 days. We do not yet know what his diagnosis was... we can only guess at this point based on symptoms we suspect Covid 19. We are so thankful for his release today and for the humanitarian funds some of you have donated that paid for his medical care. Occius is beyond thankful as well.

Below are some pics of the food/supply distribution and some sanitizing efforts.
