This week has been particularly difficult for the prisons. We’ve not been able to access the food that we were normally able to get due to an increase in gang violence. It’s making an already difficult situation even worse. Pray for protection of the team and breakthrough on the logistical level, so we can continue …
What if we never helped?This is a question that comes to mind when people ask me why I am doing this.In a time when everyone in Haiti is already struggling and people can’t afford to eat, we have the added burden of more than 150,000 internally displaced people.
