• Attention: All items that are not carried in by a team member and which will need to be sent to Haiti will be sent via Missionary Flights International (MFI) and will need funding for the cost of shipping at a charge by MFI of $1.50/lb. All materials that are not carried by a team member into Haiti should be kept at your location until arrangements have been made for shipping to MFI in Ft. Pierce, Florida. In normal conditions there would be significant customs fees but for at least a 3 month time period custom fees will be waived by the Haitian government. SPECIAL ITEM PROJECT Dessalines hospital has one 12 year old vehicle which will be used as an ambulance for transporting injured, medical teams, supplies and staff to work sites. The need for a new vehicle at this time is paramount. COST $38,000 for a replacement vehicle. We are in this for the long term and we only want to purchase a new vehicle. This would be purchased from available inventory already in Haiti and would be the property of the Dessalines Hospital. *If there is a party interested in directing this project please contact the Free Methodist Mission organization directly.

We are going to need significant funding in order to continue to purchase in country supplies as available, purchase diesel to run the generators ($4/gallon) shipping costs at $150/lb via Missionary Flights International and to purchase food for those patients who have lost everything. In addition, the staff deserves and need to be paid. They themselves are under significant stress many having lost family members and homes themselves in Port-au-Prince. We have already heard that the Administrative Director of the hospital has lost one daughter and the Public Health Director has lost a son in the earthquake. We need to partnership and support our National staff with our prayers, finances, and expertise during this tragedy.
