Our initiative will rollout in phases, with Phase I focused on the emergent desperate need for monetary donations.  The initial proceeds of our fundraising efforts will support the immediate needs of food, water, medical supplies and shelter (tents, cots and blankets) and seek to deliver them directly into Jacmel. As the issue of blocked transportation routes prohibits the transport of goods, the focus on monetary donations is the safest and quickest way to build a support system which can rollout over time as the logistical issues become resolved. We are seeking to secure direct methods of transport via contacts in our community with private or corporate jets, U.S. Coast Guard connections, shipping contacts or any other routes which may surface. We are also searching for anyone who help secure tents, cots and/or lightweight blankets for free or a discounted price.

Phase II, still to be solidified, may focus on the collection and delivery of items specifically requested by our Haitian contacts, likely in the form of clothing, hygiene, medical, cleaning and other supplies.
