Summary
Funds are needed to get donations of much-needed medical supplies, food, water, and volunteers into Haiti's earthquake-affected areas.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
Much needed medical supplies, food, water, and volunteers are coming into Haiti to help with the disaster relief efforts.

Donations will pay for truck rentals, fuel, warehouse rentals, and logistics to get these supplies through the Dominican Republic into Haiti's earthquake-affected areas.
How will this project solve this problem?
Donations will allow us to create a supply line from the Dominican Republic into Haiti to deliver donations of medical supplies, food, water, and volunteers.
Potential Long Term Impact
Will provide supplies to aid with immediate earthquake relief in Haiti.
