We have been there and we have done that. We now have in place a direct supply line and contacts with a hospital in need on the Haitian Border in the town of Jimani called The Good Samaritan Hospital. We can get flight clearance direct to Barhona and then have links to get supplies and medical staff to an identified area of need. We just need airlift capabilities and more medical supplies.
We do not have a plane but are still planning on returning on Sunday to put people and supplies on the ground to help. Think airplane, think airplane, think airplane. If you are a corporation or individual that can manifest a plane let's go to Haiti.
Please if you can help with airlift or medical supplies please, please contact me ASAP. There were over 400 patients at the hospital with more arriving every day. Surgery supplies are in short supply, surgeries are being done without anesthetic, they have an x-ray machine but no film or developer. Bones are being set by feel. Infections that could be easily handled with antibiotics are killing people. Medical staff are pulling 30 hour shifts. There is very little sterile saline to flush ivs with. There is a huge need for nurses and doctors to help relieve those already there.
Individuals can create incredible change in the lives of so many in need. Join us.
Message from mission organizer Sean W. Scott
The power of the individual to affect change is only limited by his or her imagination. Yesterday I imagined a plan to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. We have all seen the pictures and seen the horror that is transpiring just a few hundred miles from our blessed country. Pain and suffering on a scale that is unimaginable. How can we help? Yes, donating to Red Cross is a great idea, but I want to participate in a direct way, I want to directly help. While most of us cannot do that I am blessed to be in a position to facilitate such an effort. And I want you to come along with us, personally or virtually through our blog.
Since yesterday we have a commitment from our friends at a local corporation to use their Falcon Jet. What a fantastic company and special thanks for their support. Our plan is to put medical personnel including doctors and nurses on the ground in Haiti along with supplies and equipment for a week. At the end of the week the team will be extracted and a new team will take its place.
Aggressive, preposterous, insane? No, just committed to contribute and make a difference. Join us now. Follow along on the blog, connect us to resources, donate some money to help with supplies and medicine. We are moving fast. The people of Haiti cannot wait till its convenient for us to help.
Sean W. Scott.
