On January 12, 2010, a 7.0M earthquake hit right outside the capital of Haiti, Port au Prince. The nation was devestated. Hope Through Healing Hands immediately launched a Haiti Disaster Relief Fund to provide medical services, equipment, and support for those who needed immediate clinical attention.
Senator Bill Frist, M.D. flew to Haiti 5 days after the earthquake on a medical mission with Samaritan's Purse. See his blogs and photo gallery of his visit while there.
We raised over $160,000 which was donated in full to trusted beneficiaries we knew were already on the ground providing assistance to those who needed immediate care. See our full list of Haiti Beneficiaries here.
We continue to focus on the reconstruction efforts of Haiti through Senator Frist's involvement on the board of the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.
