Hi everyone. Thanks again for all the interest and support. I cannot keep up with all of the phone calls and emails. Just wanted to let you know about a few developments.

1) Doctors still on the ground, another team hoping to go down soon in relief.
2) Total dollars given - from all the different avenues - to support Canaan's efforts could be nearing the $100,000 range. Unbelievable.
3) Local guy here in Birmingham has offered to donate medicine.
4) Working really hard on a shipping connnection. We'll keep you posted. I met today with Med Mission. It's amazing what Jim Tucker can do. We've run into a few road blocks. He explains it best.

We have been working with our partners in the States and on the ground in Haiti to negotiate the logistical nightmare that exists in trying to get aid to the people of Haiti. Here is a snapshot of what we're working through: Find an open port in Haiti, organize an acceptable drop point with a trusted recipient, find a way to get materials off the boat, then onto a truck, to get to the partners who desperately need it. Then factor in that fuel is scarce and being sold on the black market for $150 a gallon. So once on shore, just getting it to our partners locations poses major problems. Not to mention corruption and other issues. Basically, this effort would have been difficult before the earthquake and since the quake, all the issues are expounded.

All of that to say we will need your physical help, but we don't have details for you quite yet. Please hang in there. We still plan to have volunteers at the warehouse this Saturday, but stay tuned for updates.

If you want to help right now, please make a financial donation. One thing is for sure, getting the needed supplies to our Haitian partners will require money. Thank you for joining us in this effort.

Pray for us, because this could be the key to everything moving forward as we try to support Canaan's relief efforts. Please keep following the efforts and spread the word. More to come tomorrow.
