The death toll after Hurricane Matthew ripped through rises in Haiti, now up to almost 850 people, I couldn't sit idly by and not help in some way anymore. My home town of Jacksonville saw real devastation as well during this hurricane. I feel that Haiti, after taking such a hit in 2010 and barely having been able to recover from that after 7 years needs my help more so. I hope to be able to make a mission trip to Haiti on my own dime, but until then I am raising money to donate directly to Hope for Haiti. They are putting together emergency buckets containing lifesaving supplies that families need immediately, including water purification tablets, matches, soap, and meal packets.
The Lord calls us to love one another and to help each other. Luke 3:10-11 And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?" And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise." I have set up a GOFUNDME account (Link HERE) to try and raise 5,000$ for those who suffered in Haiti because of Hurricane Matthew. It doesn't seem like much but at this point, anything can help. So if you are willing and able, please donate! If you don't want to donate to the gofundme and want to donate directly to Hope for Haiti, the link is HERE. God Bless! XOXO A Nerd in Pearls
