Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund
100% of your donation goes to help the kids and staff at the Ten Kids Haiti home and other earthquake victims. Ten Kids is attempting to open one or two more homes in the next couple of months to aid children who have been displaced by the earthquake. All administrative expenses are covered by the Gibson's so 100% of your donation goes directly to the children.

Haiti Earthquake Relief
Gip and Aaron Jackson (of Planting Peace) made their way to Haiti on Jan. 17th. While in Haiti we were able to get food, supplies and much needed cash to the children we currently serve. Not one of our children or staff members were hurt in a neighborhood where many homes collapsed and countless people died. The children, our seven and about 30 other kids from the Planting Peace houses are all sleeping outside as two of the homes were damaged and the fear of aftershocks is ever prevalent. We were also able to seek out four other orphanages and help them with food and money. All these kids, as well as most of the people in Port-au-Prince, are sleeping outside.

Haiti Earthquake Relief
January funds will go to the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund, in immediate response to the current crisis. Our first goal is to assist with immediate needs of the people at the Ten Kids Haiti home. We will then concentrate on outlying areas, which are typically overlooked by organizations in times of crisis.
