4 Women "Trapped" on Their Mission

All of our hearts have been gripped by the tragic situation in Haiti. It hit closer to home for those with friends and relatives there, and even closer to those who have a spouse there.

Such was the case for SGI Board member Wayne Graham. His wife, Linda, landed in Haiti along with three friends, just an hour before the 7.0 earthquake struck.

Fortunately, Linda and the others had cleared the airport and were on the road as the devastation began.

What started as a peaceful humanitarian trip to Haitian orphanage became the ordeal of a lifetime.

With death and devastation all around, Linda, Kellee, Lisa and Julia became a triage unit on the soccer field at Delma 33 as they stepped into saving lives, bandaging wounded, consoling the bereaved and even delivering babies. The entire story may one day become a book!

After an agonizing 24 hours, Wayne finally made contact with his wife.

Hearing her voice assured him that she and the others were not only safe, but were a lifeline to the Haitians. They all soon realized they had been sent into that nation to help save lives.

With a box of bandaids, Neosporin, and a few supplies, they became the only "clinic" many people could find. One father was so thankful that Linda delivered his wife's baby, he asked her to name the child. She named the newborn Judah, which means "praise."

Strategic Global Initiatives

Today, SGI is strategically poised to help Haiti. On the ground we directly serve Haitian organizations, churches and schools who are on the front lines and need immediate assistance for food, water, medical supplies and professional help.

Quisqueya Christian School, Gerald Bataille Ministries serving 30,000 members of his local church in Port au Prince, Val's Children's Orphanage and others, are receiving donations and support from SGI.

Your Haiti relief donations are used 100% for this purpose with no administrative fees deducted and all donations to SGI are tax deductible.

Thank you for helping Haiti. Though our last few days have been sleepless, we are assured that we are making a difference on the frontlines of the most devastated part of the globe.

HAITI RELIEF EFFORTS

So much is going on, it’s hard to know where to begin. The magnitude of the need is overwhelming, so we wonder, “How can I make a difference?”

All donations designated to Haiti through Strategic Global Initiatives are going to three projects we are specifically and personally connected to. Any help you can give is GREATLY appreciated:

Gerald Bataille Ministries
www.bataille.wordpress.com
www.jgbataille.wordpress.com
Haitian Pastor Bataille has been in ministry in Haiti for 40 years. They were celebrating this anniversary when the earthquake struck last week. His son, Junior, is a Duke grad and a former member at KPIC. We have been working through them to get aid and med supplies in.

Val Children’s Home Care

This small orphanage is near Gressier near the epicenter of the quake. All buildings were lost, but every child is safe. They are currently sleeping in a converted chicken coop. Funds are needed to rebuild, but most immediately for food.

Quisqueya Christian School

I taught at this school in the 1980s. We ended up here on the second day after the quake and they gave us shelter and facilitated our evacuation through Missionary Flights Int’l and Rick Hendricks Motorsports. They have set up a hospital and feeding program.

DONATE NOW

All mail-in financial donations can be sent to:

Strategic Global Initiatives 
414 West 51st St.
New York, NY 10019

100% of donations will go to these three organizations, with no admin fee. If you wish to earmark one specifically, write its name in the memo line.
