Dear Friends,

I’m sure many of you have heard about the political conflict in Haiti. Most of the chaos is in Port-au-Prince or other larger cities. Dèsarmes hasn’t been affected like some of the other areas in the country. However, the town is dealing with high inflation (food, supplies, etc.), shortage of fuel and more. Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti.

We are also in need of people to partner with us for recurring donations to help with some of our staff salary. Some of the people who have been supporting the staff members need to stop giving for a period of time.

Below are a list of staff that currently need support and how much we currently need on a monthly basis. You can give to their campaign by clicking on their name. Please consider partnering with us monthly for $20, $30, $50 or whatever amount you want.

Wyslet (English teacher) CURRENT MONTHLY NEED: $145
Michelet (program director) CURRENT MONTHLY NEED: $120
Love Sandra (midwife) CURRENT MONTHLY NEED: $153
Kerline (birth assistant) CURRENT MONTHLY NEED: $85

Blessings,

Ashley Stills, CPM
BOLH Founder + Executive Director
