COVID-19 is a top concern for our communities, our countries, and the entire world. Whether you are in Haiti or the US or any other country in the world, there is uncertainty all around us. Typically, we make an appeal to you when we face a crisis here in Haiti, whether it be famine, flood, earthquake, or cholera. This is a unique time where we all face this test, no matter which passport we hold or which economic class we are in.

We are all distracted by the news and tracking these developments. Each of us is navigating changes in work and worship day by day. In just a short time, “the norm” has become a seemingly distant memory, and none of us know if and when this -new normal- will end.

We do know our work in Haiti should continue. We do know that our staff is committed to providing life saving care and critical education/ support to some of the most underserved people in one of the most underserved populations in the world. We know our patients need medicines, the malnourished children in the RC need medika mamba and food to recover. We know we need to maintain our payroll to ensure these services are provided by the competent and caring staff at RHFH.

The services we provide have expanded over the years. We maintain as low of an overhead cost as we know how, and we find each service we provide to be essential. As is the case in most organizations that work in a context like Haiti, the margins are very thin for us. We are not sitting on an endowment that can float us during this pandemic. The population we serve cannot afford to pay for the majority of the services we provide. The fruit that RHFH bears for the kingdom of God relies on the power of God, the sweat of our staff, and the generosity of people like you.

We also know many of you understand the impact your gifts have in saving and sustaining lives in Cazale and surrounding villages. We appreciate the fact that many of you already give sacrificially to sustain the work of RHFH. We realize times are tough. We acknowledge that some of you have lost your jobs recently, other’s employment situations are tenuous at best. We are aware many retirement funds have taken massive blows. We understand absolutely if you are unable to give at this time. If you need to suspend a recurring payment for a season or stop giving for a period of time, that makes sense to us. If this is the case, please communicate with us so we can plan accordingly. We are thankful for all you have done for the Haitian people. We would like the opportunity to pray for and encourage you, as you have so often done for us. (Email prayer requests to prayer@realhopeforhaiti.org)

We are grateful for each prayer and each donation you make to this work to which we dedicate our lives. We feel you believe in the work RHFH does, we believe in the work RHFH does, and we all believe in a God who is capable to make a way where there does not seem to be a way. We put our faith, trust, and hope in Him and in Him alone. We care confident that, for you and for our patients and for us, God will supply all of our needs according to the riches of His Glory in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If you feel so led and you are able to do so, we could use your support now. To give online, please click here or on the “Donate Now” button on the top of this page to see some options.
