As hurricane-force winds continue to fuel the flames, firefighters are facing increasing challenges, and families are being left displaced and uncertain of what the future holds.

The crisis in Haiti is continuing to deepen as 1,000 Americans (mostly missionary and humanitarian workers) are trapped as armed gangs take over the capital. Millions of Haitians are trapped in the fighting and many are dying in homes as airports and hospitals are shut down.

Roughly 1 in 14 infants never see their first birthday due to malnutrition and this crisis is escalating an already desperate need. Your prayers and support matter.
