Ingrid Dodard's Haiti Earthquake Relief Campaign |
||
Earthquake in Haiti Thank you for joining me to bring aid to the people of Haiti. As you know, Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. The country was devastated by an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale. Tens of thousands have been killed and injured. Hospitals, including the children's hospital, schools and homes have collapsed and have been destroyed. The scope of the disaster is truly enormous, and a tremendous influx of immediate aid is needed to avert an even greater loss of life. Partners In Health has been working in Haiti for nearly 25 years. Our local team is already working to ensure PIH’s coordinated relief efforts, leveraging the skills of more than 120 doctors and nearly 500 nurses and nursing assistants who work at established sites throughout Haiti. Please help me make sure that this skilled team has the resources it needs to address the crisis at hand. On a personal note, Haiti is my parents' country of birth. About 50% of the population is comprised of children. I ask that you join me in support of the people of Haiti and especially the children of Haiti. Thank you for your support. Ingrid Dodard, MD Pediatrician 
When a Person in Peru, or Siberia, or rural Haiti falls ill, PIH uses all of the means at our disposal to make them well… Whatever it takes. Just as we would do if a member of our own family—or we ourselves—were ill. |
