Tents Needed and How to Donate Tents

Tents are desperately needed!

A hospital in Petion Ville, outside Port-au-Prince, needs at least 200 4-6 person tents for patients leaving the hospital. There are many wounded who have been treated, but they cannot leave the hospital unless they have a place to go that will keep them clean and warm.

Tents are also needed for the 500 people living in the parking lot of a collapsed club in Petion Ville.

Rich Meers of Crossworld Missions is accepting donations of tents for people to sleep in and keep warm. There are sites online selling tents at a discount. If people would like to send tents, they can have them delivered to:

Rich Mears for Marilou Roy
Unit 2109 UEBH
3170 Airmans Dr
Fort Pierce, FL 34946

They also need to send funds to cover $1.50 per pound for the plane trip by missionary aviation from Florida to Haiti.

The funds can be sent to:

Rich Mears c/o CrossWorld
Account Number 37660
10000 N. Oak Trafficway,
Kansas City, MO 64155

When sending funds to CrossWorld, include a note saying that they are for the hospital in Petion Ville in care of Marilou Roy.

If customs becomes functional again, they will start charging something. There's no way to predict what customs would charge
