Christmas in July for Orphans
| There are 37 students (ages 13-20) who live at the orphanage. Most of their clothes are donated and is shared amongst the group. We would like to give these students a Christmas in July by providing them each with $25 to use for buying new clothes. Please sign a card from the Christmas tree to be given with the $25. | GOAL: $925
$25 for each of the 37 students at the HFC orphanage

Tent City Medical Needs
| Following the earthquake in January 2010, many people were displaced from their homes and have since been residing in tent cities. Within 200 yards of the orphanage is a tent city where about 150 people live. Following the visit by a short-term mission team from a church in Atlanta, we have been able to meet medical needs of the people in tent city. The funds left by that team ran out in May, but the needs continue. With $200 per month for the next year we can provide the residents to get basic health care: doctor visits, lab work, and prescriptions. Most of these people in the tent city are unemployed, and have no access to any type of health care services without some ministry intervention. | GOAL: $2,400
$200 per month for one-year to cover the medical costs of people in a tent city near the orphanage & school.

Hope for the Children of Haiti (HFC) Employee Love Gift
| There are 55 dedicated Haitian teachers and staff who supervise the daily activities of the school and orphanage. Most of them earn less than $2,000 a year. A love gift of $200 for each teacher and staff member will help meet some of their basic living needs. | GOAL: $11,000
($5,000 matching gift has been pledged)
