While Aid Bottlenecks, CAN-DO Moves: Medical Deliveries to Haiti Hospitals

The past 48 hours have been nonstop, and the needs here on the ground just keep growing. Thanks to a plane delivery of medical supplies arranged by Sidney Torres and supported by the CAN-DO team back in the States, we’ve been able to jump straight into action.

Yesterday and today, we’ve been running medical drops to General Hospital (HUEH) and Hospital De La Communauté near the old folks home — two facilities pushed far beyond capacity. General Hospital is seeing multiple births every day, and many of the supplies we brought were exactly what they were desperate for. When we rolled in with the truck, the staff’s reaction said everything. Pure relief.

We divided the remaining inventory into three loads so we could stretch the impact. One load went to General Hospital, and we’ll be dropping the other two at additional locations throughout the day. Every item is being used immediately.

Please keep the supplies coming — we’ll keep getting them directly into hospitals and onto the streets where they’re needed most. We’ll post video tonight so you can see the impact you're making here in Haiti.

Huge thanks to Sidney, The North Face, and every single person supporting Project Haiti. Your donations are saving lives, and we’re not slowing down.
