Mercy & Sharing is one of the only organizations in Haiti that takes in disabled kids. We have been working in Haiti since 1994 to help abandoned, orphaned and disabled children have what they need to survive and thrive. By providing money for us to purchase a vehicle, you are helping 136 orphans have transportation for medical care. 70 of these children are disabled and need surgeries and special treatment. Each donation "builds" the car -- one part at a time!
