Dear Friends:
We are writing to you with a special appeal for Haiti β asking you to help us
right away to send a group of young physicians to provide desperately- needed
emergency medical services in Haiti.
A group of the recent US graduates of the Latin American School of Medicine is
ready to go and provide vitally needed medical attention to victims of the
earthquake.
More than 300 Cuban doctors have been in Haiti for more than ten years now β
working in areas of Haiti that have no other access to healthcare. In addition,
Cuba has also trained 400 young Haitian doctors who are now on the ground
responding to this crisis.
Since the earthquake, the Cuban doctors have been working around the
clock. They have set up three operating rooms that are in service 24/7,
performing hundreds of surgeries per day.
The US graduates of the Latin American School of Medicine are eager to do
whatever they can to help in Haiti. They are prepared to spend several weeks
working alongside the Cuban medical team saving lives.
These dedicated and skilled young doctors are ready to serve. They received
their MD degrees in Cuba, and they are uniquely prepared for the multiple
challenges of this urgent mission. We will send them with backpacks full of
medicines and supplies.
We just have to raise the funds to get them there. Can you help us to do that?
You can make a contribution yourself, or take up a collection in your
community.
ANY AMOUNT you send will help.
You can make a credit card donation by calling IFCO at 212-926-5757 or by
clicking on the purple "donate now" button on our home page - write in
IFCO/Haiti Medical Service Project in the space for "on behalf of". You can
also mail a check to the
IFCO/Haiti Medical Service Project
418 West 145th Street,
New York NY 10031.
We are asking for your support for this extraordinary example of international
cooperation and solidarity.
We desperately hope that you will help support this unprecedented opportunity
for four nations βthe US, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti β to work
together in solidarity with the Haitian people.
You are a valuable and indispensable part of this work. Please send your
generous donation today!
The need for medical assistance in Haiti is critical right now. Our partners in
Haiti and the Dominican Republic stand ready to deliver medical aid and the
doctors into Haiti as soon as they arrive. They know how dire the situation is
because they have been traveling over the border since the earthquake to
deliver what they can.
Your contribution will be carried on the backs of young doctors prepared to
heal the sick and wounded in Haiti. Your gift will make a huge difference in
alleviating the pain and suffering of thousands of Haitian people.
Sincerely,
Rev. Lucius Walker, Jr.
