ANSE-A-PITRES, Haiti, August 3, 2011. – As tropical storm Emily is heading for Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the Batey Relief Alliance (BRA) is prepared for possible heavy rains and flash floods that could be severely damaging to both countries. In collaboration with US-based NGO, Direct Relief International (DRI) and USAID/Food for Peace/IFRP, BRA has stockpiled medical, food and first-aid supplies in its main warehouse in the province of Monte Plata, as well as other locations in the southeast border regions of Haiti. More than 630,000 people in Haiti are still without shelter after last year’s devastating earthquake.
We are now seeking donated container supplies and funding in preparation for the storm. Our proactive strategy allows us to respond swiftly to the needs of victims in distress. There will be many critical moments in the next month where your gift could make the difference between life and death for families that will likely lose their homes and will need our help desperately to rebuild their lives.
Your assistance will allow us to stockpile the most critical supplies so we can ship and ground-transport them to affected locations.
I challenge you to partner with us financially today. Click HERE and make your secure online donation.
I urge you to please give whatever you can. No amount is too small. Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Ulrick Gaillard, J.D.
Founder and CEO
