Joel and Mandy, Can we go down with you?
I can't tell you how many times we've been asked this in the last couple days. First, I want to say thanks so much for you heart and your passion to help. We love it. Second, things are a little more complicated than that. There may be some opportunities in the coming weeks/months, but for now, only experienced relief specialists are being let in to the country.
There are some private planes that we've been connected to that are being allowed in and out of the country. Our team has made the decision to only send down the members who do medical work. For now, we'll be primarily facilitating Dr. Ric (from Dallas/Ft. Worth - per previous posts) as he operates in Haiti. He'll be on the ground in Port Au Prince early this afternoon!
Also, we're still gathering funds. The needs are going to be insane in the coming months/years. We're going to need all the funding we can get. We also are making plans to start gathering medical/relief supplies/food supplies. We have a great shipping connection that we hope to maximize. Thanks.
Update from medical team ASAP.

Hey Joel & Mandy! Long time, no see! Thanks for all the updates. Our small group went to Haiti last year to help out w/ the Medika Mamba program and at a local orphanage, I however didn't get to go on that trip. If we are looking to go down again this year, who would you recommend we go down with? Any recommendations for disaster relief etc, looking at 4 months from now or later most likely....thanks!
Heather
