Help!

Thank you for your supportive comments and for your prayers.
Matante was overjoyed this afternoon to hear that her two daughters in Port-au-Prince are safe and that her grandson is fine. Two of our monitors, housemothers, have lost family in the earthquake. We have been inundated with people asking for money to get to Port-au-Prince to find their relatives. Maxime, who was recently married, lost his sister in the disaster and will be heading to PaP as soon as possible. It is hard to keep up with the individual stories.
Some of you have asked how you can help. Well, the easiest way is to go to our website at freethekids.org and make a donation so that we can afford to buy food, supplies and help out individuals and families in need. Your help is deeply appreciated.
Keep us in your prayers.

  1. Father Marc. My name is Ted, and I'm an assignment manager here at Channel 6 in Portland. I know cell service is virtually impossible right now in Haiti, but I'm wondering if there is any way we could correspond with you via e-mail or talk to you over the phone. We would very much like to do an interview with you about the situation there and what people here in Maine can do to help. I look forward to hearing from you, and God bless you and the people of Haiti.

  3. Hi Fr. Marc,
    Hope all is well with you.
    When I heard the news about the earthquake I immediately thought of you.

    I'll have to let my mom (Carmelita) know that you are okay, and I'll send her a link to your blog as well.
