Just 6 months after the earthquake, older people in Haiti need your donation more than ever...
Donation amount:
People in later life are the most at risk in Haiti following January’s devastating earthquake. We are providing food, care-home staff, washing facilities, and mental healthcare. We are also supporting the municipal care home by building toilets and distributing thousands of food packages.
As the long process of rebuilding Haiti begins we are appealing for you to help us meet the ongoing needs of older survivors, such as Mme Desbrosses, aged 87. After the earthquake, Mme Desbrosses did not eat for three days. She still suffers nightmares. Asked what she needs, she said: ‘Medicine to help me sleep. Without it, I can’t.’
