We write today to thank you for your strong support of the Haiti Relief effort through Children of Promise. We are pleased to share with you that over $60,000 has been given since January 12 by you and a host of others who care deeply for the children and their families in Haiti. We are humbled by this outpouring of concern and love for the children – but not surprised. Children of Promise has wonderful, committed sponsors and friends who generously give whenever there is a need. We are so grateful for you and the host who join you in making sure that children receive the care they need. It is a privilege to partner with you on behalf of the children in Haiti, and indeed, in 23 countries around the world.

We are pleased to report that the three children of Francky and Tania Desir (directors of House of Blessing orphanage in Haiti) were released late last evening by U. S. Immigration authorities into the custody of Lonnie Murphy.  The children are fine.  Please join us in thanking God for their release, and for sustaining them, their parents, and the Murphy’s through this difficult and exhausting time.
