We are looking for donations ranging from $25.00 to $250.00 and the amount you pay would determine the size of your advertisement on our t-shirt and website. Your advertisement at our race can be as big as possible, but you cannot sell anything at the race because it is is a state park.

Dear Friends of The Haitian Health Foundation,This is our first emergency email.
You may have heard or read recently about the impending famine in Haiti.
The situation is also dire in Jeremie, where the Haitian Health Foundation provides for over 200,000 people.The cost of food has increased almost 100% since March 2008.A 55 pound sack of rice, a staple in the Haitian diet, has increased from $18.83 to $29.87 in just 2 weeks – a chicken that cost $3.90 last month is now $8!

Many of the 105 mountain villages under the HHF “umbrella of care” have lost their crops corn, beans, bread, fruit due to constant rains and extraordinary winds.

This is unquestionably a crisis.

HHF is responding with food in our storehouse – we have delivered truckloads of tuna in cans, peanut butter, and soy foods to the most desperate villages. Our supplies are limited and there doesn’t appear to be an end – the needs increase.

Some of these villages have nearly a 100% malnutrition rate…

Children and the elderly are eating “mud cookies” made of dirt and cooking oil to ease the constant pangs of hunger Story on MSNBC.

We are attempting to buy corn, beans and rice to make Akamil at our 3 production mills, but the costs are scandalous and prohibitive. The poor of southern Haiti need your financial help at this time.

Consider this an emergency appeal for your assistance…. Please send a check to:

HHF Emergency Food Fund
97 Sherman Street
Norwich, CT 06360

Or donate online through our website – www.haitianhealthfoundation.org

Thank you so much for your support of our work in Haiti.

With appreciation,

Jerry and Marilyn Lowney
Haitian Health Foundation
