Many of you have called asking about what we are doing to help our clinic and Haiti in general. Our group has sent supplies today and planning to send a team to Haiti in about 10 days. If you are interested in making a direct donation to our clinic, you can send it to
Haiti Medical Missions of Memphis
1779 Kirby PKWY #1 PMB319
Memphis, TN 38138
As always, donations are tax deductible as we are a 501(c)3 organization. All donations will be used for current needs such as first aid supplies as well as long term needs for replenshing what will undoubtedly be an overwhelmed and depleted medical clinic.
The clinic is in operation, however still damaged. Due to the overwhelming numbers of people, a triage area has been set up outside on the football field. The clinic is on a compund which uses well water and although it was disabled initially, it has been restored as of this morning. Fortunately, we recently installed solar panels and they are able to continue to generate electricity.
Our clinic relies soley on the financial support from our annual fundraiser, the 24-hour Tour d' Esprit as well as some donations made throughout the year. Clearly, the needs will be greater this year. Thanks for any support you can give as well as prayers for the people of Haiti.

Yes, we are collecting name of those interested in traveling to Haiti during these next few months. We are also looking for volunteers to assist us with packing the shipments to Haiti. We already sent one cargo plane via Fed Ex and and working on another one. The people at the church are looking for help in this regard and RN's are very helpful for sorting medications. Please call the church at 757-9140.
