Janette De Kroon Parkinson hasn't added a story.
My name is Janette and I am requesting your help for my Uncle Jack and the country of Haiti. Jack and Therese de Kroon, along with their son Christopher and fostered orphans, call Les Cayes, Haiti home. But it is not only their home, it is their mission field. For nearly 30 years my Uncle Jack has been pouring his life and love into the beautiful people of Haiti.
On October 4, 2016 Hurricane Matthew smashed its way through Haiti, decimating homes, crops and fruit trees (main food sources) and killing hundreds. Officials say it could be decades before the country recovers. However, the people of Haiti are not strangers to adversity and as we all stand with them, they WILL rise up and recover to the best of their ability.
This CNN report shows pictures of just some of the incredible devastation.
This is where Jack and his Ministry come in. Currently, their well is the main source of clean water for their neighbourhood, their solar panels are a rare source of power with the City of Les Cayes remaining without electricity and their concrete home the only when left standing for miles around. Jack and Therese took in more than 30 (!!!) homeless neighbours to shelter and feed them after the storm. Jack used his own emergency funds to help them repair their homes, enabling most of his houseguests to return home.
At this point, travel between Les Cayes and Port-au-Prince is still treacherous, limiting the transportation of aid and supplies. Food is scarce and Jack's main concern is that he will not be able to continue housing and feeding his guests and his own fostered orphans. On top of this, some of his equipment was also destroyed or damaged. Jack is considering returning to Canada to work in order to continue providing relief and essential needs. If together we can raise $10,000 Jack would be able to stay in Haiti and continue helping where he is needed most.
The needs are overwhelming, but we serve a mighty God who will be faithful to provide strength and hope to Haiti and to Jack and Therese as they rebuild.
God Bless you as you support this ministry with your prayers and donations.
