LHOC@AT
Donation protected
LHOC@AT is a new start up non-profit that will take between 3-4 trips to Haiti per year. These trips will include medical missions, building, visiting orphanages and hospitals along with numerous other mission activities.
The second trip for this organization will depart on July 28, 2015. We are in our first full year as an established non-profit organization, LHOC@AT and are gearing up for our first construction mission. We will be outskirts of Cite Soleil, Haiti! Cite Soleil is the poorest slum in the entire western hemisphere. Because this is the first construction team, we are in need of a lot of funds so we can purchase supplies after we arrive in Haiti. While there we will also have the privilege to work with an orphanage which is home to 18 middle school aged boys and girls. We hope to surprise each one of them with a backpack full of goodies to help ensure they will start the next school year off right.
The founder of this organization is an emergency room nurse who takes numerous trips to Haiti multiple times a year. She is very active in her local community and has numerous organizations from girl scouts, elementary schools to sewing groups turning old t-shirts into cloth diapers to take to Haiti. She has raised flip flop donations through local nail salons and always makes sure to share pictures and stories from her trips with those who helped collect/make items for the trips.
Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world. There are children dying from high fevers where something as simple as Tylenol could save their lives. There are people with sores on their skin because they don't have basic necessities like soap. There is a great need in this country and LHOC@AT is going to make a huge impact.
Help us help the people Haiti with your donation. Thank you for taking the time to visit our page and we hope to share our journey with you when we return.
This picture above is a wheel chair that has been made out of bicycle wheels and a lawn chair. The trip before this picture was taken, this little girl had no other option but to lay on the floor. She is still in need of an actual wheel chair but this homemade one will have to do until we can take her one.
In this picture you see children heading home to their tents. There are still numerous tent cities in this country.
During one trip, a playground was built for the children
