Thank You For Your Support

Thanks for everyone who came out to support us on Sunday, January 24, 2010 at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood, CA for our Earthquake Relief fundraiser. We have a nice donation that is going to be sent out this week for the Hospice St. Joseph and the Temple of Yehwe. Keep an eye out on our Conversations with the Living Facebook page and this blog to get more information on our upcoming events and relief status for the Hospice St. Joseph and the Temple of Yehwe.

Welcome news but still worrisome

While we were in Port-au-Prince in November, the crew stayed at the Hospice St. Joseph in Christ Roi. We have been trying to get news about them from the Diocese of Norwich. Today, some members of the Hospice posted this update to their blog:

Hi all,

We are OK but the building collapsed. We had two visitors we were lucky everyone get out ok. We are selleping in the yard and trying the best out of the situation. Most of our employees are ok. I have not been able to receive news from three of them> Soeurette lost several members of her family including a daughter. Others also lost family members.

Right now every program will be put on hold for a long long time. We have to go from a program mode to a humanitarian mode for some time. We start helping people on a small scale but the need is overwelmed. Haiti is no longer what you knew. Everything is lost. We need everything: Meds, food, water, clothes tents and everything else we can put your hands on. I am going to try to communicate with you all if we can. Remember we do not have a place to operate but I am waiting to find people to put the rest of the building down to start providing meds and water. Please call my wife and let her know I am okay.

Peace, Max

We welcome the news but offer our thoughts and prayers for those still missing and for those who have lost friends and family.

I’ll be posting a blog regarding the Hospice St. Joseph and the wonderful work they did there shortly.
