Good news from Haiti
Saturday, January 16th, 2010 by richfossHere’s good news re Lavona from Pete Begly: We have not heard directly from Lovana but a relative left a message on our answering machine that she and her children are doing fine! Please keep praying for her travel plans and that her children still have thier documents. Especially keep praying for Haiti.
I’ll post when we hear directly from Lavona.
Here’s a link from another nonprofit that I know personally that do good work in Haiti:

Landing in Haiti an hour before the quake
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 by richfossA year or so ago, Lavonna, a young Haitian woman. began attending our church. She has USA documents but her two young children did not have papers and still lived in Haiti. She worked with the State Department and secured documents for her two children. Our whole church was excited.
We assisted her in securing airline tickets for her to fly to Haiti yesterday, Tuesday, and return with two children on Friday.
Her plane landed an hour before the earthquake struck. Because of the broken communication system we have no news of Lavonna and her children.
I’ve met folks from a nonprofit, Beyond Borders, that works in Haiti. By last night they had heard from a couple of staff members but not from others.
Please consider helping Beyond Borders to respond to this emergency by making a gift to their Earthquake Response Fund. They will work as quickly as possible through their local partner organizations to reach those most effected by this disaster.
