Last week, Hurricane Elsa hit Haiti. The village of Sucrerie was hit and our nursery lost its water supply.
Without water, we’d lose the trees growing in the nursery, so we paid a truck driver to bring water barrels to the nursery. We also helped pay for the new piping to bring a constant water flow back into the nursery.
Unexpected costs come up a lot in Haiti and having ongoing donations is essential to keeping trees healthy and the Haitian farmers and communities supplied with a variety of trees. Without our ongoing monthly donors, we wouldn’t have been able to pay for the truck, water the trees to extend their life, or pay for a new water supply pipe.
As climate change intensifies, we know we’ll have more extensive costs down the line for repairs, paying workers, and getting additional support while repairs are being worked on. Please consider a monthly donation to help us and the Haitian communities budget and prepare for the unexpected.
