We are grateful to our supporters who showed an outpouring of generosity last week when we shared news about the cholera outbreak at #HASHaiti. They, in partnership with organizations like Croix-Rouge française, have allowed us to temporarily add a physician to staff the cholera ward, increase the nursing staff, add additional beds, and more.

Unfortunately the outbreak continues. Just 12 days later, we have admitted 50 more cases. We are dedicated to helping all those who come through our doors, but outbreaks like this strain our resources. Make a gift today and help to save more lives: hashaiti.org/donate ...

#HASHaiti has had a resurgence of cholera in our area and we need your help to respond. Communities all over Haiti struggle with access to clean water but add to this the heavy rainfall and flooding from the recent hurricanes, and water sources can easily be contaminated.

We had not seen many cases of cholera this year, but the numbers started climbing with 15 admissions in August. As of last week, we've had 62 more patients admitted to the cholera ward, and our resources are stretched thin. Whether you give $10, $100, or $1,000, your gift will save lives. Please help today: hashaiti.org/donate/ ...

Six-year-old Sando was rushed to HAS as an emergency patient. The next 24 days at the hospital were challenging but his mother expressed gratitude for the care of the medical staff. Her son considered Dr. Toussaint, his primary doctor, to be a friend, and enjoyed talking with the other doctors and nurses that make up the hospital’s capable pediatric team. After developing these relationships and trust for the care the staff provided for her son, Sando's mother was relieved. As a single mother of four, she does everything she can to provide for her family, and having HAS available to her is instrumental in ensuring their quality of life. Now, Sando and his family are together again at home. #HASatWork ...

Preparations for Hurricane Irma continue and nonessential staff will be sent home at noon today. A light rain has begun in Deschapelles but we don't expect to experience strong winds or heavy rains until this afternoon and evening. We will update when possible as the day continues.

While there is a possibility of strong weather here, we will be thinking especially of those living in the northern region of the country and our fellow Caribbean nations who are in the direct line of Irma's path. ...

“I wish a lot of things for him in his life,” said Rebecha about her only child Denzt-ky. He is 19-months-old and his mother brings him to our #Deschapelles Health Center, over an hour trip from their home in Petit Riviere, so they can get Plumpy'nut (fortified peanut butter), medicine, and lessons in nutritious food. “He wouldn’t eat, but I brought him here and he eats a lot,” she says with a smile.
