Help Haiti Now

Help Haiti Now was established in 2005 to provide food, water, medicine, and educational support to Haitians suffering from abject poverty.

HHN is an all-volunteer organization that has been serving several missions in Haiti for over five years. Help Haiti Now is a non-profit 501c3 organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Thank you! The generous support and offers of support that we have received since the earthquake in Haiti has been overwhelming.

At this time we do not know the extent of our involvement but we are planning to work with relocated people in the town of Montroius, Haiti on a long-term basis. Help Haiti Now has been supporting the grammar school there for some time with great success.

Replies to e-mails and web updates are forthcoming. My sister has volunteered to help while we are in Haiti.

God Bless! Rachel Quirk, Founder/President, Help Haiti Now, Inc. 1/27/2010

ABOUT DONATIONS: We cannot accept ANY material donations at this time. Thank you for all the generous offers of clothing, non-perishable food, toys, and such but we simply don't have storage or shipping options at this time. Not even for medicine. *UPDATED 2/6/2010*

FUTURE RELIEF TRIPS: Help Haiti Now has received numerous offers from people wanting to go volunteer in Haiti. We are working on how best to use these offers. It seems that those with medical/care experience will be most useful in the coming months. You will need a passport and around $1,000 to cover your costs (airfare, transportation, lodging, meals). The town of Montrouis (pronounced "Moo-Wee") is a beach town with lodging available and friendly merchants. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montrouis More to come. *UPDATED 2/6/2010*

Earthquake Relief Trip #1 January 27 -- February 5, 2010

The first team has now returned to the U.S.
Rachel remains in Haiti. *UPDATES*

OUR MISSION:
Help Haiti Now is working to support hundreds of Haitians displaced from Port Au Prince to Montrouis. The people of Montrouis are working together to find shelter/camps for the displaced, and they need us to provide food (rice/beans) and help coordinate relief efforts.

This first earthquake relief trip is led by Rachel Quirk, on her 10th trip to Haiti, and John Stover, now a four-time leader. They are accompanied by four others: a registered nurse from New York City, an EMT from California, a Floridian experienced in hurricane disasters, and a man with a background in engineering. Each member of the team will carry 100 pounds of luggage full of medicine and basic supplies.
