Get Involved

Currently, our greatest need is financial support. Many of you have already donated to our relief effort, and we are grateful for your generosity. What we ask now is that you continue to fundraise in your communities. Haiti is in need of millions of dollars right now to meet the needs of the communities hardest hit by the earthquake. Any and all support that will help us respond to the immediate needs and continue our mission of strengthening providing free medical care to the poorest of the poor and protecting human rights in Haiti is greatly appreciated.
