I was hungry and you gave me to eat…”
I received this letter today and if you are able I hope that you can help.
We send you an urgent plea for help. The people of Haiti are suffering starvation and a food crisis on a daily basis. Food prices continue to spiral out of reach, spiking as much as forty-five percent since 2006, and turning Haitian staples like beans, corn, and rice into closely guarded treasures.
A Dame of Malta, who leads Hope for Haiti, tells us:
