In addition to scaling up in Port-au-Prince, where many of their doctors live when they are not on duty at PIH’s rural sites, PIH’s clinical sites across Haiti, which were unaffected by the quake, are seeing a tremendous upsurge in patients who have left Port-au-Prince in search of care.

I, too, have felt that PIH is the organization to direct our donations. It is good to have that confirmed by others. I will stand with your organization’s workers in Haiti, with our friend Marco’s sisters, with all the families suffering.

Thanks for this, Tom. I was waffling about what org to support but was leaning toward PIH because of Paul Farmer/Mountains beyond Mountains.

BTW, we told the kids about the situation in Haiti and asked them how they wanted to help. Their idea was a lemonade stand — seasonally adjusted to hot cider — with all proceeds/donations to PIH.

So tomorrow or Sunday (depending which has better weather), we’ll be packing up the Xtracycles with the Coleman stove, cider, a table, and donations cup and heading to Greenlake or the BG trail.

If anyone is out for a ride and wants a warm-up, stop by!
