Dear Friend of the Batey Relief Alliance,
As you read this, thousands of children and families are struggling just to stay alive in Haiti’s most impoverished communities. But you can help them overcome their challenges and thrive … just as you’ve helped the residents of the Dominican Republic’s sugar cane bateyes.
After ten years of success in the Dominican Republic, the Batey Relief Alliance is now working to establish a permanent mission in the neighboring Haiti, where life is even harder … where thousands are stranded with virtually no access to basic medical care, medicines, food, clean water, or sanitation.
As you can see in this photo, Haitian families must scour the landfills each day for clothing, food and other essentials that you and I take for granted.
We cannot let this situation continue!
Thankfully, there is hope
We can save the lives of Haitians living on the edge in rural/urban slums and border communities with the Dominican Republic. Here’s what we must do:
• Control contagious diseases
• Educate the population about preventive health
• Build medical facilities
• Distribute clean water
We are confident of success … but we must raise $250,000 in 2008 to provide these lifesaving services. So we are reaching out to key friends like you to make a one-year financial commitment of $1,200 to help BRA expand into Haiti.
How you can help meet the challenge
You can make your tax-deductible gift in the way that suits you best:
• A one-time annual gift of $1,200
• Two gifts of $600
• Four gifts of $300
You may mail your check payable to Batey Relief Alliance to P.O. Box 300565, Brooklyn, NY 11230. Or make your gift online by clicking on the BRA’S Donate Now! button at www.bateyrelief.org
Please send your generous contribution today … so that Haitian children and families can have a brighter tomorrow.
Respectfully,
Ulrick Gaillard, J.D.
Chief Executive Officer
P.S. Just as you’ve improved the lives of deserving people of the Dominican Republic, you can bring hope to thousands of children and families suffering in Haiti now. Please send your contribution today.
BUILDING ON SUCCESS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Why are we so confident we can make a difference in Haiti?
Because you have helped us achieve so much in the Dominican Republic: Success in the Dominican Republic:
The Batey Relief Alliance celebrated an important milestone on October 23, 2007 – its first ten years of success in the Dominican Republic. With your help, we can look forward to another resounding success in Haiti.
