For the past three years, I have worked in Family Services with Atlanta Habitat for Humanity, assisting families on their journey to homeownership.
This November, I will be taking a different route... in Haiti. Instead of financial counseling and application management, I will be swinging a hammer as a participant Habitat for Humanity’s 29th annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project.
President and Mrs. Carter and approximately 600 volunteers will live in tents and work in partnership with families to build their homes and rebuild their lives after the terrible destruction left by the 2010 earthquake. Habitat plans to build 100 permanent houses in just one week, and I have committed to do my part to help.
I will be working in the Santo community of Léogâne. Just 18 miles from Port-au-Prince, Léogâne is considered to be the epicenter of the earthquake. Nearly 90 percent of its buildings were damaged or destroyed. With your support, I will help Habitat build houses for families left homeless by the earthquake.
I have a goal of raising $5,000. This donation will support the Carter Work Project and continued rebuilding in Haiti. Your gift is an investment in the city of Léogâne and in the families who still struggle to survive each day.
Please join me in supporting the people of Haiti with a gift of $10 or more. If 500 people give just $10, I will reach my goal.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Best Regards,
mari.
