Covid-19 - Hospital Beds for Haiti
Tax deductible
Donations for Covid-19 victims at St. Boniface Hospital, Haiti.
If you would like to make a significant difference in people’s lives, donate what you can to assist our distressed Haitian neighbors.
Due to the onset of the coronavirus in Haiti, Reading Catholic Outreach members are sponsoring a GoFundMe drive to mitigate the acute need for critical care beds at St. Boniface Hospital, Fond-des-Blancs, Haiti. The Haitian Ministry of Health recently estimated that 9,000 hospital beds will be needed for the country’s COVID-19 patients, a figure twenty times greater than the 450 beds now available.
According to the the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA), an independent, nonprofit organization, “the lack of, and fear of, testing means that thousands go undiagnosed and that hundreds, or perhaps even more, have died—untested and uncounted—due to a combination of factors that are as much political and economic as they are related to the weak public health system.”
“Covid-19 is now in all 10 departments [states] , and medical authorities—organizations like the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders—warn that the country's few Covid-ready hospitals and triage centers may soon be overwhelmed. Police officers and doctors have died. Children have died. The disease has reached the country's overcrowded prisons.”
All funds collected will be sent to Health Equity International, formerly Saint Boniface Haiti Foundation, whose main goal is to support St. Boniface Hospital in Fond-des-Blancs, Haiti.
Your donation of any amount will save lives.
